This is one you have to wave a lighter with.

@Astrapsody

Girls, girls, you're both pretty!

I read an XKCD comic a while ago about how youtube comments are the scum of all the internet. I now see why. Grow up!

[daberko120ch]

pluto is a planet it just isn't a major one, it's a sub-planet, a Dwarf planet. DWARF PLANETS ARE STILL PLANETS! MAN!!! i wish grade school teachers would get their shit together and teach the kids that it's still a planet, too many people are going into thinking that its not a planet anymore when scientist never said such a thing...

[Astrapsody]

@daberko120ch You have no idea what you're talking about. A dwarf planet is not a planet. It's entirely different, and it's unfortunate that it even has "planet" in its name since people like you get this misconception. And a "scientist never said such a thing". Really now? The decision, whether you agree with it or not, was made by an entire board of scientists.

[daberko120ch]

@Astrapsody dwarf planets are planets that's gravity does not dominate it's surroundings, still a planet.

[Astrapsody]

@daberko120ch Gravity doesn't dominate it's surroundings? What does that even mean? What "surroundings"? "A planet is a body that orbits the Sun, is massive enough for its own gravity to make it round, and has 'cleared its neighborhood' of smaller objects around its orbit." That's the definition of a planet. Pluto has not cleared its orbit, and therefore, is not a planet. If we called Pluto a planet, there wouldn't be any reason not to call the hundreds of other bodies around it planets.

[daberko120ch]

@Astrapsody that's what I ment, I'm sorry I don't use wikipedia for my come backs... It doesn't dominate it's orbit because charon is about 2 times as large as pluto, yet it is a moon. Pluto IS a planet, a DWARF PLANET <---- PLANET, RIGHT THERE, DO YOU NEED ME TO UNDERLINE IT? It is a planet, It just does not dominate it's orbit like Jupiter, but has a sufficient mass. Pluto's a planet, it says it right after dwarf...

[Astrapsody]

@daberko120ch Mass has nothing to do with determining whether a body is a planet or not. And as I've said before, just because it has "planet" in it's name does not mean it is a planet. Planet and dwarf planet are two totally different terms. Also, what's wrong with using Wikipedia for basic information? I just recently took an introductory astronomy class in college, and remember having this exact discussion. I simply forgot the 3 criteria by which a planet is classified. Your just wrong here.

I don't care what Pluto is - planet, dwarf planet, whatever - it's still awesome. :) As is this song.

[Atemporal]

I'd probably be lynched for this but I'm actually in agreement with the demoting of Pluto. It was just a matter of semantics after all.

Ahem, oh yeah nice song.

[GrimReaper19]

Pluto is easily the best planet ever. Yes, it's small and far away, but damnit it did things differently. True genius starts with breaking the mold.

[KrzyCanuck]

My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine PLANETS!

[zaapeer]

It's great! :)

[PK1312]

Oh my god.

I thought it was just a love song, but looking at it from this point of view...

FUCKING BRILLIANT.

[ChickenPludder]

who is saying that it isn't a love song? it is normal to wrap serious subjects into something else, so it might still be whatsoever ;)

-but either ways: its still BRILLIANT :D

[PK1312]

Oh, I know it's still a love song, but the fact that it's between pluto and charon is the fucking brilliant part. Everything he does is brilliant.

[ChickenPludder]

agreed :)

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

Go away, Pluto! We never wanted you anyway! You're too wussy to be a real planet!

[desertguy90]

After hearing the beginning commentary I thought the song would be funny, but it was actually sweet, in a weird kind of way.

[JoshuaMallalieu]

think of all the kids growing up learning about how there's 8 planets

[CarpeDiem118]

"Dwarf planet, of course, a category that did not exist until they decided to demote Pluto to it... that's a little suspicious." LOL and so true! What kind of scientific sense does that make? It must have been suggested by one of those snobs in high school who classified everyone into geeks, cool kids, and other cliques.

[Repoes]

They just redefined what makes a "planet", I think because of all the pluto-sized objects they started to find beyond it.

[GolumTR]

They didn't "re"-define it. They defined it for the first time.

[ncdixiebelle]

wow, i never thought that this song would be good. i was wrong! this is a great song!

Pluto, you will always be planet number 9 to me.

[WillisGreeny]

wow, I never thought i'd cry over a planet befor..(PLUTO WILL FOREVER BE A PLANET IN MY HEART)

[GolumTR]

Maybe if it didn't fit in there it would still be a planet.

[hflovesgo]

great video :)

[zauld]

whoa i finally get what this song is about :) Best part of these concert movies are the song explainations.

[Legendary231]

See Pluto? Charon still cares about you.
