Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.
This song is about romance. They didn’t mean it literally.
“Fly Me to the Moon” is a stupid song. You want to know what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars? Extremely unpleasant.

You need to open up your music tastes…
donuts@lemmy.world 5 months ago
92% of songs are about love or sex.
That’s got nothing to do with my personal taste, that’s sex selling (pop) music.

Or death.

It’s old, but still entirely factual:

God damn it.
Now it’s in my head.
You insidious bastard.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Listen to it to get it out of your head! I recommend the Blossom Dearie version.

Love turns you stupid. Blissfully stupid

Well, in other words, what they’re trying to say is , “darling, hold my hand. Darling, kiss me.”

Maalus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or maybe “in other words, fuck the moon, in other words, please destroy it”.

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 nonsensical lyrics.
Great tune. 😜
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
To be honest, I just heard the song and thought, “what a silly thing to sing.”
QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 5 months ago
We need more silly in this world, don’t we?

I don’t care! Seeing spring on Mars and Jupiter would be fucking awesome!

Spring on Jupiter is a bit windy

What is it complementary to? I’m not seeing the angle in the post.

Spring on Jupiter is delightful! The way the helium3 layer playful mixes with the metallic lithium layer… majestic.
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
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.

Not if Utada signs it.

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.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 months ago
“relatively” is doing a shitload of work there
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Now look, there’s the moon and mars but if you want to visit the middle of the Milky Way that’s a whole different kind of operation my friend.
