They Might Be Giants - How Many Planets? (official video)

[christianbanaski1]

The jupiter part sounds very catchy.

[hanneyjo1]

Thanks, guys, for teaching my 5 year old the order of the planets! I really love all your songs. I wish they'd been around when I was in school!

[JAKEFOWLER1999]

Take a good look at the name Uranus

[TheLackofattack]

Then you hit deep space and things get quite boring.

[TRANETNER]

That owl is not happy

[Luna041406]

I LOVE JUPITER. When I started to hear this song, I predicted Jupiter would sound like this....lol!

[my0life0my0destiny]

Am I the only one who noticed the boy had a "They Might Be Giants" poster on his wall ?

[OrchestraIsAwesome]

@my0life0my0destiny actually my science teacher pointed it out to us! Hahaha but good eye i would have missed it.

[xthorpyx]

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming (Planets)

[Direness]

JPluto will always be a planet to me! <3

[AsyrilliathStudios]

Jupiter looks derpy. :|

[piboy1000]

lol we watched this in science class!

:D

[minivocaloidgirl]

@piboy1000 me too

[Xiidoomdragonx]

Lol Jupiter!

[eliminatorrAQW]

I fuked Uranus

[MCMM2011]

JUUPIIITERRR!

[GetrReady4ASurprise]

Those are some hard lyrics to remember. right?

[GetrReady4ASurprise]

URAAAAAANUSS!!!!!!!

[lazy6676]

v1 +6bn xcbc ITS OVAR NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!1111ONE

[lazy6676]

JUPITR&URANUS

[eliminatorrAQW]

Other stuff = s3x

[tyklay]

Jupiter has a Satanic voice.

[Watcher863]

WHO. GIVES. A. SHIT! Even if Pluto isnt considered a planet anymore, its still there. Its not suddenly gone, or less important. Its still a USELESS ROCK, people.

[t4ll0nzalive]

Lol it's okay Pluto I'm not a planet either...

[Thomasair11]

URANUS!!!!! hahaha so funny

My sci teacher said uranus is full of gas and we all couldn't stop laughing :)

[VulgarTeacake]

/thinking of the different zodiac sign's respective planets, happy to be the groovy saturn/capricorn.

feeling kind of bad for sagittarius and pisces.

[woopsadaisy10]

YOOOUUUURAAAAAAAAAANUUUUS!

[MattHazardous]

A wild Jupiter has appeared!

[PeppyTurtle3]

Almost shat myself when Jupiter appeared, Goddamn that was scary!!

[Yobiyokto]

Universe = Sun + Mercury + Venus + Earth + Mars + Jupiter + Saturn + Uranus + Neptune + Pluto + a bunch of other stuff

[kylehyde28]

YOUR-ANUS!!!...

...Don't forget about Pluto!

[TheUncolorfulShadows]

Jupiter freaks me out a bit but I love how the beginning starts off with an awesome fast-tempo with the guitar and keyboard. SPAAAAAAAAAACCE!

[SikizuYukia]

I love Neptune and it's moon, but I also like Earth and Jupiter's moons. I love anything with moons in it. :3

[underlinedbluetext]

My favorite planet is Jupiter. And my favorite moon is Europa of Jupiter.

Or Io. I can't decide.... Jupiter has some cool moons. Check them out. Io looks like moldy cheese hehehe.

[WardKeener]

@underlinedbluetext - Jupiter in this makes me laugh! XD

[alanson112]

lol jupiter

[Arikiel]

Haumea! Quaoar! Makemake! and a bunch of other stuff! ^_^

[hades117rocks]

f*** this video

[RichtoffenRoach]

Have not you noticed that our solar system resembles an atom?

[alanson112]

@RichtoffenRoach yeah your right.

[berniebay]

@RichtoffenRoach

It doesn't really. Electrons don't orbit as fixed as planets. Also, electrons can jump between orbits periodically. Planets don't generally do that.

[RichtoffenRoach]

@berniebay Yeah you are right :P sorry

[Antisyzygy]

@berniebay Planets also don't orbit at the speed of light, and electrons don't have sub-electron "moons".

[berniebay]

@Antisyzygy

Those are also good points.

[angeladecker814]

Poor Pluto...

[CassieLuvsYuH]

CANT WE ALL JUST BE FRIENDS?!

[SilenceSyndicate]

I am going to make an agument that Jupiter should not be considered a planet because it has not cleared the Trojan and Greek asteriods out of it's "neighborhood". Heck, Jupiter's orbit is littered with asteroids. If you look at a distance to asteroid belt verses the size of the planet ratio, Jupiter sucks at clearing out asteroids. Yeah, I know that the lagrangian points are futher away than the asteroid belt so don't start slapping me in the face.

[SilenceSyndicate]

Pluto doesn't really "dominate" over Charon. They almost revolve around each other and both are tidally locked. I may be wrong, but it seems that Charon has qute a bit of influence on Pluto also. As far as Pluto having a moon goes, don't forget about Nix and Hydra. These arguments are pointless. Definations are changed as we gather new data. A line has to be drawn somewhere otherwise we could argue that the sun has millions of planets. Heck, once Juno and Vesta were considered planets.

[SuaveTito]

@SilenceSyndicate Thank you. That's exactly what I'm saying Science isn't static, and if we kept Pluto a planet, we'd have to keep adding more and more as we found them (and we'd be up to about sixty by now). I'm glad there are at least a few sane people that can accept change. Like Robert C. Gallagher said, "Change is inevitable...except from a vending machine."

[SilenceSyndicate]

@SuaveTito I was afraid to chime in because I don't want to be a part of an argument. I just bought my kids here to enjoy an educational video about the planets. It's just messed up to see my kids, who are just learning about space, smiling from ear to ear watching the video, then see where people are not so happy but know much more. There is a lot of cool stuff out there to see and we will never understand all of it (much less agree about it). Let's just be like kids and enjoy the show.

[SuaveTito]

SO MUCH SPACE! GOTTA SEE IT ALL!

[SilenceSyndicate]

Personally, I like eight planets. It makes eveything else seem like a bonus.

[Kromwell2005]

Estimates are just pulled out of hats, otherwise they would be called theories, or at the least hypotheses. I wasn't appealing only to tradition I was also pointing out that Pluto is distinct from the rest of the Kuiper objects.

[minakodeb]

My daughter thinks this song is awesome because it mentions the dwarf planets and asteroid belt and a bunch of other stuff. :) Hooray for our solar system!!

[nicksta1127]

never heard or Eris before :)

[Applemask]

I've always been afraid of Jupiter.

[Kromwell2005]

Pluto & Eris "Dwarf Planets" official classification.  But seriously this is all very recent BS. This whole 8 planet thing has only been going on for about five years, but for almost eighty years before that, Pluto was a planet. Give me back my planet!

[Kromwell2005]

@SuaveTito I'm guessing that you think you are a whole lot smarter than you really are. You are talking about a definition that was made up five years ago. The planetary system needed only one definition: Planets are planets because that is what we call them. Everything else is whatever we want to call it. On the point you made about forty more planets there are currently only 5 "Drawf Planets" that is not a lot more to memorize. But if that is too difficult for you I understand. Yup.

[Kromwell2005]

@SuaveTito The comment was more about your snarky writing than how well acutally know what you are talking about. The AUI didn't have the support of the whole community when they made this definition, it was created and voted on by only twelve people, and I just don't think that is right. Finally only one person made that estimate you talk about over 6 years ago and thus far he is wrong.

[Kromwell2005]

@SuaveTito I like that quote but if the person quoted hadn't been evasive; instead of saying HAVE found and continue to find many more drawf planets, they would have said "We've found five drawf planets, and we think there are a bunch more we just have no scientifically credible evidence to back us up on that.

[mrfuzzsaysno]

ha, i love jupiter.

[MeekoRulz]

Pluto isn't a plant it ;}

[luigi90900]

We forgot About Pluto. And Eres, and all that other stuff.

[LoverGirl12389]

@luigi90900 HAHAHAHAA ☺☺

[LoverGirl12389]

URANUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSS

[Bob0p]

Next thing you know they will find a astriod biggest then earth be cocky and call earth a dwaft planet inorder to get attention

[fuduzan5562]

Don't feel bad, Pluto. I'm not a planet either. :)

[Bob0p]

@fuduzan5562 technicly by the definition of a planet pluto is a planet. Its just cocky scientists who thought they could claim anything as not because they did not want to call eris a planet which is only ~ 0.05 km bigger then pluto.

[wwekinji]

@Bob0p Technically pluto is not a planet because it has not cleared its orbital lane of other debris. its size has nothing to do with it.

[Bob0p]

@wwekinji um no that is not how classification of plants work at all. If that was the case majority of planets would not be considered planets as they get hit by debris all the time. Mass is a major factor of classifications of whether its a planet or not.

[Bob0p]

@SuaveTito /me facepalms at your stupidity.

The sun is the dominate one, and if I am not mistaken the distance to mars to the asteroid belt is less than Pluto to the Kuiper belt. Clearly Mars is not dominating the asteroid belt gravitational pull making your theory wrong. Also Pluto has a moon meaning it has dominates over another object. Any ways mass is not relevant to shape but it is relevant gravitational pull. a defined orbit around a object along with axis defines round shape object.

[SuaveTito]

@Bob0p me *facepalms at YOUR stupidity*

Everything you just said is, well, wrong. Gravitationally dominant in its orbital zone means it dominates over EVERYTHING CLOSE TO IT. You are mistaken. Pluto IS IN THE KUIPER BELT. It doesn't dominate over everything in the Kuiper Belt. Mars doesn't even go close enough to the asteroids to influence them.

[Bob0p]

@SuaveTito /me facepalms more at your stupidity. mass is relevant to gravity. gravity comes from points, if its more than 2 points(the axis) or less than it will not be spherical. Which is part of physics so really you are being hypocritical by claiming you know physics and lecturing me on it when you don't. Anyways Mars is not "clearing the neighborhood around its orbit". Just look at Mars and how close it is to the asteroid belt. (its basically in the outer rim of the asteroid belt).

[Bob0p]

@SuaveTito yes claim I must back myself up when you don't back up anything you say. I am looking at a program called celestia and other images all over the web of pluto and its surrounding area. You made the claim pluto revolves around Charon when it doesn't pluto is 2x bigger in mass meaning it has the dominates in gravity. Celestia is updated often and has plugins to update it even more on the user base side. Meaning its a program being worked on by the science community.

[SuaveTito]

@Bob0p As it turns out, even Mike Brown says we're both going about this the wrong way. It's not a matter of scientific reasoning what's a planet and what's not. It's a cultural thing. There are a number of ways to classify things in the universe, all of which are correct and useful, and to argue in this way, putting down one is stupid. This is my fault for starting this banter. Let's just enjoy the music. On that note...

SSSSPPAAAAAAAAACE!!!

[talflick]

@fuduzan5562 there are so many good jokes you can make out of that

[sipraomer]

BS

[shazam15]

I read the comments before i finished the video and I was like " why the fuck is every one scared of Jupiter", only to scroll up right at the part where it appears. I let out a horrified gasp, and I must say, i'm with all y'all on this one.

[guyishguy9000]

0:35

O_o

[MrGoodRocker]

Im afraid of jupiter now.....

[Sasoroex]

YOUR AAAAAAANNNUUUUUSSSS

[GaryDZ]

[theumbrellakidisback]

jupiter terrified me just there. D:

[Zaka4892]

Hi! I'd like to visit Uranus! :D

[PokemonFan831]

uranus (your-ay-nus)

[aerozord]

Uranus has multiple ways of pronouncing it and arguing a given pronunciation is futile as they are all valid

[Arghira]

I like youranus ! Is the best

[epic2346]

i am scared no its here no jupiter arrrghrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

[epic2346]

Jupiter..... Chucky of the solar system

 AAAAAAAAAAAAGHGGHGGH

[yizo247]

JUUUUPPIIITTTTTEEERRR O_O GAVE ME FRIGGIN NIGHTMARES

[Zaka4892]

Jupiter gave me nightmares.

[godwin972]

Uranus: [you-ruh-nus]

[GingerChloe29]

@godwin972 [your-anus]

[tacopie95]

dont forget about pluto!! and a bunch of other stuff

[omastar444]

Pluto will always be a planet... at least to me. Also it's not ur-anus, it's Ura-nus

[dom1391]

Just as a note without being sealed in a space ship and or space suite  your body could not handle the lack of oxegen in zero gravity.

[West3213]

Press 4 For Uranus

[360army]

pluto is not a planet

[awsomekid001]

0:48 my faverite part when the old man voice says uranus! xD

[SuperLolablue]

I like it when it's Jupiter's turn :)

[SuperStella6]

And a bunch of other stuff.

[sporelover345]

whenever I say Uranus, people at my school start rolling on the floor laughing, then when I explain why they are doing do to my teacher once I say the U word, she joins them, weird.

[ThePlyangel567]

love the part where it says jupiter for the first time!

[HomerIdaho]

I love They Might Be Giants! I gotta buy more albums. I haven't even heard this one before.

[marie144cats]

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP­PPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRR!!!!!

[baabaa101]

My 2 year old watches this. then one day I asked him what comes after Neptune and he said "A bunch of other stuff".... :)

[ilooverainbows]

i heart this. makes me lol every time :)

[izpopgirl1]

i watched this in scince class

[TheSillysally8]

@izpopgirl1 me too! we watched why does the sun shine to it's a good band

[toughcookie67]

JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUPITERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Juuuuuuuuupiter!!!

[triBuck76]

I love that these guys have turned to teaching...

[roxyizme]

Jupiter is creepy.

[roxyizme]

Haha my science teacher made us watch this video XD

[Lemonpielord1]

@roxyizme mine too

[DrWhoAndStarTrek]

I think we need a moment of silence in honor of a bunch of other stuff

[mrpotatohead34]

oh god jupiter made me jump

[ichkokurasaki]

8 people got eaten by Jupiter

[cellopants]

What? How did I not know there's a tenth planet called Eris?

It's a good day to be a Discordian!

[reddhen]

I dont care what anybody says pluto is still a planet to me!!

[xnonsuchx]

@reddhen - So you believe in Pluto more than proper grammar? See why it got cut as a planet? ;-)

[Succubus1982]

@xnonsuchx Wow Grammar Nazi much? They only missed capitalising the P on Pluto. No need to be snarky.

[xnonsuchx]

@Succubus1982 - There's more than just the 'P,' but I was only kidding anyway.

[SuperFerretGuy]

@reddhen PLANETS UNITED!

[TheGentlemanlyIsopod]

Uranus is a total rocker. Respect.

[calapanpo]

JOOOPITEEEEERRRR

[MrChophairs]

I wanna go to earth really bad it looks the coolest!

[MrBuzzArmstrong]

I absolutely loved Jupiter! Creative indeed. I wish my lessons would all be this way. Thank you Stumble Upon!

[TheSpartaRules]

Jupiter is scary.

[iSpudnik]

After he said Neptune, I expected Pluto.

:C

[Rwannndddyyy]

haha

[Aidan7151]

Any body else find Jupiter really scary in this video?

[pepsicola1295]

Two things that I find funny about this song/video: Jupiter is all like OM NOM NOM, and the guy who sings Uranus makes a point to sing URAAAAANUUUUSSSS. (Yes, I know, very mature. :D) Oh, and I miss Pluto, too. D: 

[todalyweirdgirl]

I have a new way to remember the planets : Many Very Evil Men Just Shortened Up Nature. I miss Pluto! :(

[MeTheOneth]

Pluto's been demoted to "other stuff?" Poor Pluto.

[TheSpartaRules]

0:32 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[drxfrostee]

I still call Pluto a planet because they call its a dwarf PLANET they just added a adjective in front of it

[Quate32]

@drxfrostee So then would that make Ceres, Haumea, Eris, and Makemake a planet too? Do you really want 13 planets?

[jmxicealchemist]

@Quate32 sure the more the merrier! its not like having more planets is a bad thing

[Quate32]

@jmxicealchemist I doubt that many people would want to memorize dozens of planet names.

[noxbayou]

@Quate32 Most Americans didn't want to memorize 9 planets, but we can memorize a couple dozen letters of the alphabet. so why do we want to dumb ourselves down when it comes to the objects in our solar system. We should define planets broadly enough so as not to give school teachers an excuse to be any lazier teaching science than they already are. We need to hold our education system to a higher standard. Science is as important as language.

[snaperkids]

@noxbayou I agree

[kashmircustard]

@Quate32 Actually the reason they included Ceres, Pluto, and Eris is because they are all classified as dwarf planets. But recently they also decided that Haumea and Makemake are dwarf planets as well. I'm guessing this song was written before that tho. Still, they say there are 8 planets and 5 (I think?) dwarf planets. There's over 40 candidates to be classified as a dwarf planet, so it'll probably keep changing. My guess is that Sedna is next.

[Quate32]

@kashmircustard My guess is Vesta or Quaoar, but Sedna is a possibility too. Yay for being astronomy geeks!

[RockinGirlStar]

@ lytrigian And a bunch of other stuff

[RockinGirlStar]

Jupiter is scary  Uurraanuusssssss is hularious!!! My class luaghs every time we watch it immature for seventh graders i know but im not ashamed

,

[RockinGirlStar]

Jupiter is scary Uurraanuusssssss is hularious!!!

[eejay30]

jupiter has got that scary fangs.

[commandization]

does eris really exist?

[lytrigian]

@commandization Yes. So does Sedna, and Makemake, and Ceres, and Haumea, and Quaoar, and Orcus, and...

And now you know why they demoted Pluto. In that collection of objects, it's not a very remarkable member, just the first one we found. Either there are 8 "planets"... or a WHOLE lot more.

[PsychoticRagDoll777]

@lytrigian I'd prefer a whole lot more other planets. Pluto was the first planet found by us. :c

[lytrigian]

@PsychoticRagDoll777 It also shares a name with a popular Disney character, which probably has a lot to do with why people are so sentimental about it.

It might have been the first planet discovered by an American, but we got some things about it very wrong, like its mass. We once thought it was about the size of the Earth. It's actually 1/500 that size.

[AtticussAtticuss]

UuuuuurrrAAAAAAAAAAANUUUUUUUUS­SSSSS

[Finnyland]

Ceres should be a planet! Just because it's small doesn't mean it doesn't have feelings! Ignore the fact that it is a rock.

[gwxk]

Heh heh, John and John make learning fun !! Better than listening to some boring teacher with a monotone voice droning on and on.

[XxsHeLbY97xX]

JUUUUUPITERRRRRR!

Lol, we watch these in science almost everyday :)

[Zaka4892]

And man..that rocket is Faaaaaassssstttt

[BifMcAwesome]

@Zaka4892 Fast like marsupials?

[Zaka4892]

Lol...Uranus

[EduBarbosa08]

Pluto :(

[faraandmera]

i cant think of jupiter the same way again

[bellum128]

OH MY GOSH. Jupiter is just HORRIFYING!!!

[peacecat123]

I want to marry They Might Be Giants.
