Tom McFadden - Dwarf Planet, Wa**up? (Pluto Rap) lyrics

ANTI = Pluto should not be considered a planet. Rather, it should be called a dwarf planet PRO = Pluto should retain its planetary status ANTI: You're a Pluto fan? Well I'm sorry y'all Since the 30's, Pluto's been an oddball Check its orbit out. Way elliptical Kinda tilted too. Ain't tryin' to be critical And tell Neptune, it's gonna get crossed soon. Staring at Charon. Pretty big, for a moon! PRO: Well I think it's great. Why you gotta hate? Going round the sun, having fun, like the other eight Pluto's still a planet if I desire It's big. It's round. It's not on fire Planet means whatever we mean when we mean it If its big and its round… We know it when we see it ANTI: Huh. What an interesting theory? You ever heard of this "planet" called Ceres? Thought we had a new planet - 1801 Found more and more stuff, but it was no fun For the kids to memorize all the "planets" in the sky With a never-ending list piling up sky high Too many "planets" - people got annoyed So now we just call 'em asteroids PRO: Ceres? Whatever. What's your point meant to be? ANTI: Pluto is the Ceres of the 21st century PRO: I'm not buyin' it man, I'm not budgin' Pluto's a planet. I know it cuz I love it Chorus: A planet? Nah, psuedo. You already knew though Dwarf Planet now. Hate to break it to you Pluto. And it's very far away, far away, far away Its tiny. Its icy. And it's orbit kinda cray But it's rule #3 that it just doesn't obey A bunch of Kuiper stuff is in its way Dwarf planet, wa**up? VERSE 2: ANTI: With new ‘scopes there was a typhoon Of new objects found past Neptune Pluto was still the big daddy Until they found Eris, just a little more fatty PRO: So, was that planet number ten? ANTI: Nope. Cuz that would just extend The future planet list up higher and higher PRO: Well they're big, they're round. They're not on fire! ANTI: But think about Ceres. Same sorta story Pluto's one of many new dwarf planets PRO: Sorry But a dwarf planet's still a planet right? ANTI: Nope. Cuz in that belt of Kuiper It's just way too crowded 70k rocks floating all around it PRO: Man, sometimes I hate science ANTI: We got four terrestrials and four gas giants And two belts: asteroid and Kuiper y'all So it's not a “planet”, but it's not an oddball And the universe is an incredible place PRO: Mean Very Evil Men Just Shortened Up Nature. (Planet acronym) CHORUS ANTI: A planet? Nah, psuedo. You already knew though Dwarf planet now. Hate to break it to you Pluto And it's very far away, far away, far away Its tiny. Its icy. And it's orbit kinda cray But it's rule #3 that it just doesn't obey A bunch of Kuiper stuff is in its way Dwarf Planet. Wa**up? PRO: A planet? Nah, psuedo. You already knew though Dwarf Planet now. But it's still kinda cool though Though it's very far away, far away, far away Though It's tiny, it's icy, and it's orbit kinda cray Learning more about the universe every single day We'll keep on learning 'til we're old and grey Dwarf Planet. Wa**up?
