Yeah and you want to play among the stars? They are all lightyears away from each other so you’d just be playing in empty space. Makes no sense at all.
They are all lightyears away from us, but there are some star clusters, particularly closer to the middle of the Milky Way, that are relatively close to each other.
“relatively” is doing a shitload of work there
Alpha Centauri A and B are closer from each other (~23AU) than the Sun and Neptune (~30AU). That’s basically next door in astrological terms, but still a whole freaking lot of empty space lol
lol yes exactly
It’s Alpha Centauri C that’s really fucking things up for generations of Trisolarans.
Also, what if there were like, large, space fairing celestial beings which might be biblical spirits or alien monsters in mech suits?.. And they can like, ninja around in space. The song might make more sense for them.
Confirmed: Frank Sinatra was a space alien.
Now look, there’s the moon and mars but if you want to go near the middle of the Milky Way that’s a whole different kind of operation my friend.
Not one to brag, but I’ve reached the centre in Spore.
Plus:
1.) No oxygen, so hope you brought your spacesuit, dumbass.
B.) If you do get too close to a star, you’re dead meat.
The man has a death wish. It’s an irresponsible song.
Ok Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Fly me to the moon
Let me kick it’s fucking ass
Let me show it what I learned in my
Moon jujitsu class
Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.
This song is about romance. They didn’t mean it literally.
Edit: I’m pretty sure I got baited but I’ll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P
Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.
You need to open up your music tastes…
92% of songs are about love or sex.
That’s got nothing to do with my personal taste, that’s sex selling (pop) music.
Check me out, years of music with no words:
Bah! I know what they really meant with those wordless songs! I’ve listened to enough Für Elise!
I wish there was more variety. It’s ridiculous, frankly. The non-romantic songs can have such interesting subjects. Where are all the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeralds and I Wish that I could Wear Hats?
Metal, and punk have a lower ratio of love songs.
Less sex and love and more politics and drugs.
True, but unfortunately for me I don’t tend to enjoy those genres
Or death.
It’s old, but still entirely factual:

Well, in other words, what they’re trying to say is , “darling, hold my hand. Darling, kiss me.”
/s
Or maybe “in other words, fuck the moon, in other words, please destroy it”.
God damn it.
Now it’s in my head.
You insidious bastard.
Listen to it to get it out of your head! I recommend the Blossom Dearie version.
Wait until you find out about Metaphors
What’s a metaphor? I’m sailing on a sea of ignorance when it comes to taking the journey into learning, but my glass remains half full that I’ll understand metaphors one day. The light bulb will turn on and I’ll no longer be looking like I’m up shit creek without a paddle when it comes to these posts.
That’s just your opinion.
Spring on Jupiter is delightful! The way the helium3 layer playful mixes with the metallic lithium layer… majestic.
Doubtful. Jupiter’s atmosphere is almost exclusively comprised of hydrogen and regular helium (helium-4). Helium-3 mainly forms due to nuclear fusion processes (like in our sun) and Jupiter’s core isn’t hot enough for that. There is also no “lithium layer”, lithium is maybe a trace element on Jupiter but not something you’d regularly see outside of the core.
You might have been on Ganymed, or Io and mistaken sulfur for helium.
Neil deGrasse Tyson enters the chat
Is this about the mirrors again?
Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars - it’s about space travel in general.
Love turns you stupid. Blissfully stupid
I don’t care! Seeing spring on Mars and Jupiter would be fucking awesome!
Spring on Jupiter is a bit windy
Found the Jovian
Made me chuckle this morning. Of course the writer, Bart Howard, wasn’t being literal. I bet what’s really eating at you is how much money they’ve made on this song for seemingly nonsensical lyrics.
Great tune. 😜
To be honest, I just heard the song and thought, “what a silly thing to sing.”
We need more silly in this world, don’t we?
Eh, true enough. But I love singing it anyways!
