The Lyrics
I missed the Uranus frenzy last year. Here is my entry into Uranus!
Touched down, somewhere on Uranus
Flag I erect gettin' dirty an' famous
Soil's brown, mission it's so heinous
Always seems to be a shadow on Uranus
What I found, Klingons talking one said
"I can do the moon walk, just like Michael Jackson!"
Ev'ry night it's an asstral world
No chance to find a girl
Come on, come I see a mine
Shelter will be where the sun don't shine
And Hey!, don't you know that it's dange'rous*
In this place, can't see any light
'cause I'm somewhere on Uranus
Yes I'm somewhere on Uranus
Cooled down, freezing on Uranus
Seeking some heat (whatever will save us)
Smell that? odor is outrageous
Comin' from an active crater on Uranus
Then I'm screaming that this must stop
Running outta air really smellin' like a moo-flop!
Why'd I try Southern hemisphere?
With horrid atmosphere
Gone wrong, so wrong wont be alright
A one-way street shoulda seen the sign
And Hey!, don't you know that it's dange'rous*
In this place, can't see any light
'cause I'm somewhere in Uranus
Yes I'm somewhere in Uranus
[short instrumental]
Men down, somewhere on Uranus
Message was sent but there's no one to save us
Loose ground, fissures are so heinous
Always seems to be eruptions from Uranus
Crawl around, stinky bunch of sad men
Looking for a landmark in this giant canyon!
Pilots' plight, it's a story bold
That can't remain untold
Gone wrong, so wrong we're not too bright
Ass-tronomy studied not in skies
And Hey!, don't you know that it's dange'rous*
In this place, can't see any light
I'm stuck somewhere in Uranus
Yes I'm somewhere in Uranus
[outro]
Flag I erect gettin' dirty an' famous
Soil's brown, mission it's so heinous
Always seems to be a shadow on Uranus
What I found, Klingons talking one said
"I can do the moon walk, just like Michael Jackson!"
Ev'ry night it's an asstral world
No chance to find a girl
Come on, come I see a mine
Shelter will be where the sun don't shine
And Hey!, don't you know that it's dange'rous*
In this place, can't see any light
'cause I'm somewhere on Uranus
Yes I'm somewhere on Uranus
Cooled down, freezing on Uranus
Seeking some heat (whatever will save us)
Smell that? odor is outrageous
Comin' from an active crater on Uranus
Then I'm screaming that this must stop
Running outta air really smellin' like a moo-flop!
Why'd I try Southern hemisphere?
With horrid atmosphere
Gone wrong, so wrong wont be alright
A one-way street shoulda seen the sign
And Hey!, don't you know that it's dange'rous*
In this place, can't see any light
'cause I'm somewhere in Uranus
Yes I'm somewhere in Uranus
[short instrumental]
Men down, somewhere on Uranus
Message was sent but there's no one to save us
Loose ground, fissures are so heinous
Always seems to be eruptions from Uranus
Crawl around, stinky bunch of sad men
Looking for a landmark in this giant canyon!
Pilots' plight, it's a story bold
That can't remain untold
Gone wrong, so wrong we're not too bright

And Hey!, don't you know that it's dange'rous*
In this place, can't see any light
I'm stuck somewhere in Uranus
Yes I'm somewhere in Uranus

555, I wasn't around for any Uranus craze either, butt thanks for making it rear its ugly head (or the opposite end, if you want to), anyway, Red Ant. This was fan-tush-tic.
We may never see the end of Uranus...jokes. Butt this one was clever, very clever indeed. 555
You have bottomed out. You know the first rule of holes: When you're in one, stop digging!
If having a forced plowing into Uranus is rehab traing for lower back pain (yesterday's parody) where you live, you really ought to turn your back on the dorsal machines and focus solely on the gluteus training machines for a couple of years first, I'd say!
Thanks YAD, Agrimorfee, Michael and Peter.
YAD: I'm glad you also found Uranus this year.
Agrimorfee: I hope to never see the end of Uranus either.
Michael: I bottomed out digging another gem from Uranus, eh?
Peter: Maybe a forced plowing. Maybe I crashed and burned upon entry into Uranus. Manned deep space exploration is risky business!
BTW, line 9 has a typo, it should read "Come on, come on I see a mine". Uranus isn't perfect. ;-)

well. you've certainly taken this song to a different place...5s
DKTOS, but you can't hardly go wrong with lots of asspuns....funny song, Ant. 5's, anyway, since I know your pacing is always good.
good job Keep them coming 555
LOL... 5-5-5
wow, great work, Red Ant - great idea - GREAT pacing - one of my faves of yours - 555 - oh, and I loved moo-flop!
Thanks Alvin, Billy Boyd, Carol, MrMacphisto and Stu.
Alvin: More specifically, I took it to Uranus.
Billy Boyd: This song is sung very fast: the 28 lines before the [instrumental break] span just over one minute. Asspuns is a cool word, not as cool as Uranus though.
Carol: I'll try but I'm still stuck somewhere in Uranus.
MrMacphisto: Sometimes a brief comment can keep you from the receiving end of a Uranus joke. Since Uranus has been done so much that's probably a good thing.
Stu: Moo-flops are a mystery of Uranus. Thanks for writing great work as well, you'd probably disappointed if I did a half-assed job on Uranus.

It's foolish to take you on, Red Ant, but here I go: You forgot to say that Uranus is a gas giant. You also didn't mention the rings around Uranus. ;-)
YAD, I may have overlooked the gas giant part here but about an hour ago I submitted one to Pink Floyd's "Mother" called "Farting", I kid you not. Oh, Uranus may be a gas giant, i never probed deep enough into Uranus nor asstronomy to know. I also wasn't aware the rings around Uranus were still there, it was my understanding that a p-ass-ing assteroid destroyed them. I heard soon that Uranus will be aligned with Earth so that we can see Uranus with an unaided (brown) eye. Its at night-time at the next full moon.
Thank you, Red Ant. I'll be sure not to miss Uranus, but I won't have to try hard, since Uranus is difficult to overlook. I'd like to set foot on Uranus, but it's not very solid, and I'm afraid the atmosphere around Uranus won't support a lot of life. Furthermore, Uranus is blue enough as it is. (oh yeah, the battle's on-- and I LOVE it! But it's a friendly battle, right?)
Well, I'd love to continue probing the intricacies of Uranus but I suspect our word play might have drawn the attention of some"one" who doesn't appreciate such things. So I will gently withdraw from (talking about) Uranus and I hope to never see it again. I hope that doesn't hurt too much.
I hear you. Uranus closes and will remain that way till the next excretion. Pity we have to 'end' it here, Red Ant. There'll always be posterior puns on AmIRight, though.
Uranus rules! Forgive me, Red Ant, for taking so long to find your lovely ode to it. I'm surprised that someone (from now on I'll call him Uranus Police) hasn't told you that you misspelled "astronomy." Heh heh.
I'd add this to the messageboard thread about Uranus, but it's been relegated to the archives and can't be modified. Oh well. The link in your opening comment is a better one anyway.
Next up: A parody of Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" called, of course, "Rock Uranus."

Thanks Spaff, and unlike most of my other typos/spelling errors/grammatical butcherings that one was intentional. And, by all means, Rock Uranus sounds good. I'm surprised no one did a parody to "(Rock Me) Amadeus" by Falco called "Rocket to Uranus", or better yet James Brown's "Living in America" called "Living On Uranus Sucks". As for the Uranus Police, a probe was launched into their activities by Internal Affairs.
