Friday fun: Every moon in the solar system in an homage to Tom Lehrer

Well, this is simultaneously awesome and adorable. A girl named Hope Johnson performing an homage to Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" in song and ukelele, except instead of the elements, she's singing the names of all the named moons in the solar system. Check it out!

I tried to learn The Elements a few times and never managed it. Maybe I'll have to give this version a try. People think it's a cool parlor trick that I can rattle off the names of all the solar system's major round satellites (that would be the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Iapetus, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, maybe Proteus, and Triton), But Hope has me beat by a mile here.

Hope Johnson is half of a pair of Brooklyn teens who go by "WeSingHappySongs." You do, girls, you do! Nice work!

Here are the lyrics, copied from the WeSingHappySongs YouTube page:

There's amalthea n halimede adrastea prometheus
n eurydome enceladus n harpalyke puck proteus
ophelia cordelia titania n oberon

There's cyllene thebe herse setebos n chaldene kore ymir calypso

These are the only natural sattelites of which are in our solar system plus despina and weird numbered ones of which i could not all fit in!

Tip of the hat to Emily Rice for pointing this video out to me.
