Astrophysicists rarely get new-wave punk songs dedicated to them. But very few astrophysicists are as cool as Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The new song “I’m With Neil,” by sci-fi-inspired rockers The Phenomenauts, is a killer track. And the music video (above), which is chock-full of the scientist’s best media appearances, is meant to be as much of an homage to Tyson as the song itself.

The band wrote “I’m With Neil” after an appearance by Tyson on The Daily Show. “We have been aware of how great Neil is for a long time,” Phenomenaut guitarist/vocalist Commander Angel Nova said in an email to Wired. “When he was on The Daily Show talking about how we needed to double NASA’s budget, we decided to — rather than just jumping out of our seats and cheering — that we should make a song to encourage our fans to love him too.”

The Phenomenauts (a name that marks the Oakland, California, band as pilots of “an usual experience”) are not the first to pay tribute to Tyson, who is the Frederick P. Rose Director of Hayden Planetarium. He’s got a huge internet fan base, with more than half a million Twitter followers and even his own meme. Tyson’s also beloved in other circles, appearing on tons of TV shows to talk about space, influencing Wu-Tang Clan mastermind GZA, and getting James Cameron to fix the stars in Titanic.

Thanks to “I’m With Neil,” we can all sing his praises, and have a fun, punky melody to sing them to.
