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".
