Uranus lyrics

I like it big, I like it cold

I like it blue, I like it bold

I like it with a 2% of methane

It’s Uranus!

I want it icy, I want it large

I want it spicy, with electric charge

Fluid outside and rocky inside

Like Uranus!

Pluto, Pluto

You’re cold and far, not even a planet

Venus, Venus

Too much CO₂!

Mars, Mars, Mars, Mars

Ain’t enough magnetosphere

There’s only a place where I wanna go!

I’m gonna head right to Ur…

anus, Uranus

Astronomy aficionado

I wanna observe Uranus

Uranus, Uranus

My shuttle’s fast like a torpedo

It’s gonna pierce Uranus

A 6.2 inch telescope

Held in Willam Herschel’s hands 1

Allowed the world to see how wide

Is Uranus!

No more a hobby for the few

Thanks to the astro-amateurs

Now everybody can enjoy the view

Of Uranus!

Saturn, Saturn

Your rings vibrate and I hesitate

Jupiter, Jupiter

It’s gassy and brown

Neptune, Neptune

A huge Calippo too big to swallow 2

There’s only a place where we can go! 3

I gotta settle on Uranus

Uranus, Uranus

Solar system’s Peeping Tom

I wanna stare at Uranus

Uranus, Uranus

An old joke still deserves a song

Sing along! Give me Uranus!

The highest goal of humankind 4

The search for different forms of life

I’ll send my probe, Voyeur 2, 5 19 AUs 6 deep into

Uranus, Uranus, Uranus

Uranus, Uranus, Uranus

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Uranus, Uranus

I’m singing Uranus

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Uranus

Uranus

Uranus

Uranus

Uranus, Uranus

I’m an astronomy aficionado

I wanna explore Uranus

Uranus, Uranus

My shuttle’s fast like a torpedo

It’s gonna land on Uranus

I wanna dive in Uranus

Gonna colon-ize Uranus

And I’m coming down... 7

Cool! 8

1. William Herschel was the astronomer who, in 1781, first recognised Uranus as a planet and not as a star.2. the Calippo (a popsicle brand) is often used in Italian jokes for its phallic shape, which makes it perfect to be licked and sucked.3. in the music video, one of the singers here strikes a pose like the Sailor Guardians, characters from the Japanese "Sailor Moon" manga & anime. Each Guardian takes her power and name from one of the planets of the Solar system. The dancers too are now dressed as one of those Guardians, Sailor Uranus.4. the music here starts making references to the Bee Gees’ 1977 hit "Stayin’ alive".5. Voyeur 2 is a pun on the name "Voyager 2", the space probe that in 1986 took the first photos of the planet.6. 19 AUs is the average distance from Uranus to the Sun. Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit7. reference to the AC/DC song "Highway to hell".8. as usual, the Italian band Nanowar of Steel put one single Italian-based pun in their "international" song: the English word "cool" sounds like the Italian "culo", which means "ass".
