What Spring Is Like on Jupiter and Mars

Netflix apparently started streaming the cult anime classic Neon Genesis Evangelion but redubbed it without regard for popular quotations and tried to cut corners by not buying the license to "Fly Me to the Moon", a popular element of the show's soundtrack. In the original, every episode ended with a different version of the song, the style of which was linked to whichever character was the main plot-carrying character for the episode. Needless to say, almost all of Netflix's principal audience for the series is in a state of fan-fury. In any case, a while back someone put together clips of all the series endings -- twenty-six distinct versions of "Fly Me to the Moon".
