It was also a hit song by Radiohead on their third album, OK Computer. Both the name of the album, the song name and a line of the lyrics of the song are taken from Hitchhiker's Guide.
Marvin's most well-known line was "Life...don't talk to me about life"

The line in Radiohead - Paranoid Android that was a tribute to HHGTTG was "When I am king, you will be first against the wall"
