  • I grew up with the belief that Pluto was the ninth planet. And I will die, still thinking that Pluto is the ninth planet. I'm sorry science, no matter how much I respect you, there are things in life you cannot change if you've always grown up with it. Pluto is one of those things for me.

  • Just curious, did anybody care that Pluto was the only planet discovered by an American, or that it was Mickey Mouse's dog? (two suggested reasons why people opposed the change)

  • Jonathan Coulton wrote about a love story between a rock and another rock in 3:12 minutes.

    And it's was much much much much better than what Stephenie Meyer wrote in 4 books.

  • "Start calling Pluto an Asteroid, It will act like one"

  • Fucking Jonathan Coultan

    Leave it to him to write a song about a rock from the prospective of another rock

    And still it makes me tear up

  • I think this song is literally how it is, LOL. I'm presuming Jonathan Coulton is into sci-fi, what with his work in Portal.

  • @LambAMV He's stated that he's a fan of Half Life, so probably.

  • I think this song is literally how it is, LOL. I'm presuming Jonathan Coulton is into sic-fi,

  • Ok, think about this is an extremely metaphorical sense, with the earth as society, and tell me it doesnt fit a gay relationship. It's like, we may be rejected, but we have eachother, and besides, they're the lame ones anyway.

  • Ermm... Anyone else hear "Want You Gone" in the intro?

  • @Greensmurfz if your talking about the one in portal 2 then i do too. jonathan coulton wrote want you gone and still alive

  • As someone else said... It's okay, Pluto. I'm not a planet either.

  • I think Pluto is a planet the way tomatoes are vegetables. It just depends on which definition you use. :P

  • Pluto is still planet in my heart !

  • So this is pretty much the same song as portal 2...except about pluto, right?

  • Pluto's a dwarf world.

    That's still awesome <3

  • 5 years ago today we lost a great friend... RIP Pluto...

  • Those people with the "Pluto is a planet" signs are wrong. The signs should say "Technically Pluto is not a planet but I like Pluto so stop correcting me when i refer to it as a planet." Hooray for the best (what I like to call a) planet in the universe.

  • Pluto needs to suck it up. When Ceres got demoted, did she go around bitching? No, she got on and dealt.

  • I don't think Pluto minds what tiny people on Earth think. If it wanted to, Pluto could crash into Earth and destroy it! Isn't that a nice thought? ^.^

  • jonathan coultoun released this gem.

    and he did the same in 2007.

    and 2011.

  • Actually, dwarf planet or not, they're really thinking Pluto and Charon are a binary planet. So, even as small as it is it will still be unique as we know it in our Solar system! I always did find it strange as a kid that Pluto was so...tiny and so eccentric.

    Also, I think everyone takes Pluto's side simply because it was demoted from Planet to Dwarf. But even compared to other Dwarfs, it's still tiny!

    On that note- I do still love me some Pluto/Charon. :3

  • That guy from Blues Clues said it was....

  • ....I wonder what gender Pluto is supposed to be.....

    The Roman god was a male but at the same time I get an oddly feminine vibe from Pluto.

    Maybe it's part of the LGBT community? X)

  • So the song's from Pluto's moon to Pluto, consoling it about not being a planet any more?

  • @BadgerStyler Yes, exactly. =) Bittersweet song, always brings a crinkle to my eye and a smile to my lips.

  • Damn allergies. That must be why I'm tearing up.

  • Awesome song, better video.

  • The team of scientists that decided that Pluto was not a planet consisted of nine people. They all disliked this video.

  • Comment removed

  • I really love this song.

  • Its kind of weird, because I used to be really obsessed with Pluto. I always thought it was a beautiful and intriguing planet, and I even made characters based on Pluto and Charon.

    You may just be a floating piece of rock and ice, but I will always love you, Pluto. ;____;

  • Aw, I love this pairing! ^_^

  • @celtickawaii57 Lol, someone should totally make a fanfiction? :P

  • @Sylreana XD Yes!

  • @SensibleSkepticism get out.

  • "They invented a reason,

    that's why it stings...

    They don't think you matter,

    because you don't have pretty rings..."

    Best (and saddest) song opening EVER. I'm almost crying when I hear this song.

  • Technically, Pluto is still a type of planet. It's just not recognized as a "big boy" planet anymore, but a "dwarf planet" is still sorta a kind of planet. It's like right in between planet and small solar system bodies. At least, that's what the IAU proposes. Either way, dwarf planet or not, Pluto will always be one of the official planets to me. Why? Well, because...well, I...I relate to Pluto--there, you satisfied?

  • I want you to know, Pluto, I never equated you with a cartoon dog. I always loved you for who you were. The first picture I saw of you was a drawing of ice and beauty and you haven't left my heart since. Still, isn't it awesome you're the first of a new class? Screw your old life as a ball of ice and dogs! We're plutoids now!!!

  • Oh, Pluto. We'll never leave you behind entirely.

  • Pluto will always be a planet to me!

  • If I ever get married I want to dance to this song with my groom :'3

  • @Isaywegotothemoon Same here. Except it is a toss up between this and First of May.

  • I can't sing this song without getting a little choked up :'(

  • Fuck Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

    I am a Scorpio. Pluto is MY planet.

    If I ever meet any of these asshats who demoted Pluto, I'll kick their asses to Alpha Centauri.

  • @TheSeptet Move to Illinois. Anytime Pluto is above Illinois, it is considered a planet in Illinois.

  • Pluto is still my favorite planet, even if the scientists are being buttheads about it.

  • Anyone else think that the sound at the beginning sounds like the intro to Still Alive?

  • This song is from Charon's perspective, right?

  • @StevenS757 Yep.

  • @StevenS757 yes

  • Played this song at our wedding reception... so good...

  • 9 people helped to take away Pluto's planet-hood

  • If you start calling Pluto an asteroid it will start acting like one.

  • Ceres would keep you company if you came to this side of the asteroid belt.. WE LOVE YOU PLUTO!!

  • I'm gonna play this song for a girl I really like, hopefully it will woo her. I'll let you guys know how this turns out!

    JoCo I hope you have this much power.

  • @BobFard My boyfriend played this for me today in my van. :) I liked it. Hope your event went well.

  • @HaileyJo whos your boyfriend? is he cute?

  • @leonin69 I dunno. Maybe you should look in the mirror and let me know, cutie. ;)

  • 2:29

    "Uranus is Next"

    Really now? That IS worrying!

  • Astronomers all agree: IT IS A DAMN PLANET.

  • awwwww good song, i like the sign that says "uranus is next"

  • LOOOOOOOOL at 1:25 "start calling pluto an asteroid and it starts acting like one" heh, good song

  • this song actually made me cry :'-)

  • Pluto'll always be a planet to me.

  • Binary Planet Systems (not sure if it's real) Is awesome

    Go pluto!

  • 1:26 = <3

    :D

  • Pluto and Charon, the most beautiful couple in the solar system.

    I love you Pluto.

  • pluto was only a planet for around 50 years

  • I'm still calling it a planet...or a double-planet.

  • @CaptVelocity a double-planet?

  • @maraseea It sounded right at the time.

  • I think it's hilarious that people think it's so mean that they demoted pluto from planet to dwarf planet. It has much more in common with Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris anyways. They don't need those stupid "real" planets...

  • Did you know all the asteroids in the asteroid belt were all once planets too then we realized they were too small to be planets.

  • I loved pluto... it was so small i wanted to put a "pre-shrunk" sticker on it so that everyone could see that it was just a small planet >.< but everyone is now saying its not a planet just cause scientists say it isnt. well im telling you pluto... I love you :D you'll always be a planet to me.

  • i love it. Pluto will always by there. and No matter what scientists say, pluto IS a planet!!! especially since its my sign planet (if i remembeR)

  • fuck the scientists plutos a planet!

  • This makes me think of me and my best friend.

  • Pluto... planets are posers come on let's go out and pick up chicks

  • This is my favorite song of his!

  • Pluto's a planet. I don't care what scientists say. Who gave them the right to go and demote it any way?

  • @BLACKROSELYCAN It didn't meet the specifications to be classed as a planet, so if we allow Pluto to be a planet, then there are a lot more bodies to be classed as planets and it would become too confusing. There has to be a cut off point somewhere and Pluto doesn't make it. Anyways it makes Holst's Planet Suite perfect again.

  • Pluto is a Planet. Remeber the saying children say "Finders Keepers" ? Well We found Pluto so now we KEEP it. Fuck the scientist and the logic Pluto is a planet.

  • cool story,bro

  • i don't think my generation will ever accept pluto not being a planet. that's too big of a paradigm shift.

    besides, we don't wanna!! :p

  • PlutoxCharon forever!

  • It's the sign for Pluto

  • what symbol is that at 1:00 ?

  • @nanturadu It's a symbol for Pluto. From Nasa's web site: "The symbols for the planets, Moon, and Sun (along with the symbols for the zodiac constellations) were developed for use in both astronomy and astrology. The symbol for Pluto is a monogram made up of the P and L in Pluto and also the initials of the astronomer, Percival Lowell, who predicted its discovery."

  • @nanturadu Combination of P and L.

  • Now I'll have to rewrite my "Littlest Planet" book for Mercury, and everyone thinks Mercury is a prick.

  • The only thing that made the Pluto/Charon system interesting was that it's presence was predicted mathematically decades before it was seen.

    This does not negate the visceral child of the '70's feeling I have that "Pluto is a planet, dammit!"

    Even if logically I know that it's really a gray area sort of body... and the song is bittersweet. Like my 5th grade memories.

  • I love the sign saying "URANUS IS NEXT"

    Hah, the irony.

  • Pluto isnt even a dwarf planet or asteroid. Now its a KBO (kuiper belt object)

  • HERESY!

  • pluto's not a planet

    1. from a sciency point of view i can see why its not a planet

    2. from another point of view GIVE US PLUTO BACK YOU BASTARDS!!!

  • tats rite guys, if you call pluto an asteroid, it will act like one, along with 'is buddies.

  • THE BIG YELLOW ONE IS THE SUN!

  • @LolxCarlyxLol

    No, that's his moon, Charon.

  • Brian reagan FTW!!

  • In memory of Pluto, the coolest planet there was :((

  • It's okay pluto,

    I'm not a planet either... :(

  • Ah, Pluto. You're very far and yet you're very small. I hope you enjoyed the 76 earth years in which you are the bravest planet.

  • Pluto you were always my favorite... I'm going to start a petition to get you back to planet status!

  • I don't care what science says, Pluto, you will always be a planet!

  • I still love you, Pluto <3

  • Pluto used to be the little train that could.

    Now it's the huge toy car that couldn't.

    ;C

  • dudes Pluto was the shitz, i loved that guy, and il beat anyone who doesn't!

  • im writing it right now he will live in an apartment building and his next door neighbor? Jerry Seinfield

  • It's sad but true Pluto. As a planet you were indeed very small. But as an asteroid, you are huge. It's better to be the biggest of something less then the smallest of something greater.

  • No longer a puny planet, you are the King of the Kuiper belt now. Aah and dont worry about Eris, he is just your bodyguard. :)

  • @adityabattin Pluto has two hot ladies keeping 'im company: Eris and Sedna. And then Eris' moon...which...is totally a ho. >.> You didn't hear that from me though.

  • @Anakira Yup...pluto has all the hotties to himself...lucky bastard!!

  • Pluto, you're still a planet to me! D=

  • in mythology Pluto just hanged around in his under world and was very anti social and his wife had to be forced by his three brothers(Saturn Neptune and Mercury) just to visit him once a year and he hated it and secretly wished he could be like the other gods who had friends who wanted to visit him and not have to be brought down by his older brothers

  • hate to correct you, but it is jupiter and neptune who were pluto's brothers. mercury was his nephew and saturn was his father.

  • Pluto always looked so lonely to begin with...

    Shut up! I'm not crying.

  • See, Pluto gets to hang out with Ceres, Haumea, Makemake and Eris now. They're like the art kids of the solar system, but I think it'll work out allright.

  • And let's face it: the other planets never really accepted Pluto anyway. It was like the little brother who hangs out with the high school kids.

  • It's ok pluto, im not a planet either.

  • I just got pluto'ed. THEY STOLE MY PIZZA ROLLS & MEH ICE CREAMMM D:

  • @Quinnknights

    That was a very Coulton thing to say. Adorable and weird ;-)

  • @Quinnknights Oh, the bad news hasnt been broken to you yet?, im sorry, but *Sniff*, Pluto blew up.

  • @Quinnknights I lol'd

  • Lol 1:23

  • This song is so sweet

  • because that's where it all starts

  • Pluto cares because everyone wants to be a planet.

  • pluto is still a planet its just a dwarf planet wich still has the word planet in it xD

  • It prefers "Little Person Planet".

  • All planet talk aside, anyone else notices double bass in this song?

    Cool!

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, Pluto will always be a planet to me.

  • same lol Pluto = planet XD idc if any1 tells me diff lol idc if its a 'dwarf' w/e thing =P

  • That's... not how it works? Either we have eight planets or we have something like sixteen, because if we include Pluto, we include a shitton of other planetoids in our solar system that are Pluto-sized.

  • hey remeber theres always exceptions to every Rule/Law they could make Pluto the only exception :)

  • Not in science there aren't. If there are, the law needs to be re-thought. Besides, it's actually just about how you define 'planet'. If you include Pluto, you have to include a whole load of other crap, to the point where it become ridiculous.

  • Comment removed

  • We're talking about astronomy, not chemistry, so that's it really not relevant now, is it? If something doesn't meet the requirements of a certain definition, then it's not defined that way. No where in science, and certainly not in astronomy, is anything that doesn't meet the requirements for a definition referred to as if it did. Science needs to be precise and accurate. Pluto does not meet the requirements to be a planet, so it is not a planet. No exceptions.

  • Comment removed

  • "i was talking about laws in generali was talking about laws in general"

    For starters, it was a discussion about definitions, not laws. And you have still to demonstrate that "most" scientific laws have exceptions. I'm very intrigued.

  • Comment removed

  • I said thats what the *discussion* was about, not just what you put. Please understand what is said before you reply.

  • And that's really not how the burden of proof works. You're making the statement that "most laws have an exception" so it's up to you to back that up. If you want to make a case, make it. I'm not doing your homework for you. And hey, here's an idea, why not be civil about it, as if you were an adult.

  • Comment removed

  • No, that's just moronic. Looking at your channel i'm three years older than you, try again. Also, where do you get "worked up" from? Because I corrected you? People can have discussions and debates without it meaning they're worked up you know.

  • Comment removed

  • That and you're general demeanour are all I have to go on to know your age, and I can see why you would lie about being under-age. Doesn't seems to get you anywhere.

    And I didn't get "bent out of shape" I also merely posted a simple comment, correcting yours. I don't know why you assume that means I was worked up somehow.

    You then responed with this charming line: "suggest you get a nice frosty mug of shut the fuck up. " So I'd suggest you look at how worked up you were getting.

  • "Until scientist can go there and confirm that it's not a planet, or stop arguing whether or not it's a planet, I'll continue to say it's a planet."

    They have both stopped arguing and confirmed it's not a planet. Do keep up.

  • 'The have not comfirmed that it isn't a planet.'

    Yes they have. You see, it turns out, 'planet' and 'dwarf planet' are different things. They are distinct categories. Look at the 2006 IAU decision regarding the criteria to be defined as a planet. Dwarf planet doest not equal planet.

    And no, Venus is not 'mainly a ball of gasses'. Venus has as surface and an atmosphere like earth, in fact we mapped the surface of Venus in 1991. Come on, this is basic stuff here.

  • This isn't a matter of justice. Don't be silly. If science has proved that something is different than previously assumed, then science is just fixing it. For instance, when the tyrannosaurus rex was discovered to have horizontal rather than vertical posture, do you think school systems avoided changing that information just so that teachers wouldn't have to make a new file? No. In fact, I believe it is wrong and unjust to avoid teaching the truth to children for the sake of convenience.

  • Anyway, I don't think Pluto's feelings would be too hurt if it found out it was no longer called a planet.

  • Who're you to say what Pluto would or wouldn't be feeling?

    [/sarcasm]

  • Didn't we send a prob to Venus once?

    It got all crushed by the atmosphereic preasure, and like dissolved by the sulfuric?

  • It's moon sized, it does not have a circular orbit (so out of round that it crosses Neptune's orbit), it's orbit is not in the same plane as the other planets, and if we call it a planet, in a few years there will be 30+ planets (there are a bunch of things like Pluto in the outer solar system). I

  • Comment removed

  • but steve from blues clues said it was a planet, he can't be wrong!!!"snif" HES NOT WRONG, YOUR WRONG!!!WAAAAAAHHHH!!!:(

  • Just think of all the kids running around learning about how there's 8 planets.. Then they get home and have their education turned upside down by their 9 planet'ed parents

  • Pluto is no longer a planet, science is dead to me.

  • lol uranus is next!!! lol

  • If my future spouse is as much of a dork as me, I want this to be our first dance, lol.

  • i dont give a crap what science says pluto is a planet it meets the criteria of like 7 other planets in our solar system so if pluto isnt in then the others arent also by sheer logic. stupid science XD.

  • lol Criteria of 7 other planets? I can think of 3 tops. Well it's round, it's clearly not a star, and it orbits around a star and not another planet (which can be questioned because Pluto has a weird orbit with Charon, hence the I'm your moon/Your my moon lyric). But that's about it. And if that's all it takes to be a planet than technically we have 13-14+ planets cause we'd have to include Ceres, Eris (which is larger than Pluto), Sedna, etc. Or we could just keep ignoring them haha.

  • see what your saying and your right, but unfortionatly for all intellegent beings who are on the "pluto is a planet" debate we cant really breach the closed minds of those who say it doesnt exist as a planet so the best we can do is just keep our debates among ourselves and hope that eventually someone in nasa will finally see that if you get rid of pluto you might as well get rid of like 5 or so moons as well cause they dont count either or let pluto back in the milky way one or the other.

  • The reason pluto was omited is because it does not meet all the criteria. Look to the new 2006 IAU decision, criteria 3: "it must have cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit." Pluto has not done this and therefor is a dwarf planet. 2nd we have not excluded pluto from the milky way, it is just not a planet.

  • Pluto hater.

  • "you might as well get rid of like 5 or so moons"

    What are you talking about? We just stopped calling it a planet, we didn't get rid of it. Believe it or not, we never called moons planets. We called them moons. If you call Pluto a planet, you have to call a stupid number of similar things in the solar system a planet too. It wouldn't make sense.

  • Whenever I talk about the planets, I always mention Pluto. I forget that it's scientifically not a planet anymore. :'-(
