I think of it as kind of an APC version of "Aenema". "Eath the Elephant" is generally full of social criticism, and in Hitchhikers Guide, "so long, and thanks for all the fish" is what the dolphins say when they leave Earth right before it's destroyed. I think of it as "all those cool celebrities were wise to leave Earth before it all goes to hell". Very cynical.
