red dwarf theme

Red dwarf theme song

It's cold outside
There's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone
More or less
Let me fly, far away from here
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
I want to lie
Shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh
Mango juice
Goldfish shoals, nibbling at my toes
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
I'll pack my bags
And head into hyperspace
Velocity at time-warp speed
Spend my days in ultraviolet rays
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
We're locked on course
Straight through the universe
You and me
And the galaxy
Reached this stage, this hyperpathic age
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun

The most glorious tv series theme song. This is a really old comedy on BBC entertainment about 4 beings in space on board a spaceship called red dwarf. Lister is a spunky unhygienic guy with dreadlocks who was frozen for 3 million years during a radiation leak that killed everyone else at the start of the series. Cat is a genetically modified vain human-cat. Rimmer is a fussy ass deranged nerd hologram guy who was ressurected to prevent Lister from going mad. And Kryten is the humble, upbeat mechanoid who serves them. This and My Family and The Office are the best things on BBC prime. Hurray for tv that never fails.

Oh and I went to update my passport photo today, standing in line for one hour to take a bloody booth photo whereby the women operating it magnify the photo to smoothen blemishes and CHEEKBONES (?!) A boy in line begged his mother so hard for a sweet. A tough-looking chinese man in construction clothes and boots pacified his 2 toddler daughters while his wife queued up. Even little babies take photos with their mothers standing by the side holding up their fat sticky necks. The job of sitting there clicking and taking the photos would be nice. Some people look so honest in their passport photos, like this badass looking indian man who looked ever so handsome and kind in his photo. On the train a man (tourist?) put his special glasses to his eyes to have a better look at the pictures on the train till he realised he was looking at a condom ad of the most popular condom in japan. Then he looked around, saw me looking at him till I looked away pretending not to have noticed. And a little girl shouted in chinese that the statues of the wise men waiting to be set up along the wisma stretch were ugly. My family is slightly amazed that I cooked maggi mee for my brother late last night when he was hungry, and even had the sense to add eggs. WOW! Darn them.
