The first time I heard (of) this song, this alternative lyric popped into my head and, of course, it had to be followed up.
(Apologies to Lin-Manuel Miranda)
We Don’t Talk About Bruno We Don’t Talk About Pluto not from Encanto
We don't talk about Pluto, no, no,
no!
We don't talk about Pluto... but
It was a wondrous day
It was a wondrous day
With my comparator, which I used to image the sky
I used it to image the sky
A year had passed ‘til I saw in that
glass
What’s that?
Something new that was moving on by
That meant I had to look again
Sure enough what did I see?
What did I see there?
That moving shape, oh, could it be?
Soon it started becoming clear
It’s a new discovery
Such a wondrous day... but anyway
We don't talk about Pluto, no, no,
no!
We don't talk about Pluto!
Oh! Seventy years later and then
everything it changes
Because that’s when they altered the criteria and ranges
And suddenly it’s future’s not looking so bold, no-no-no
‘Cause for a new status, it now exchanges
Could it be said of Pluto that it short changes
And now it seems that it has been left out in the cold
Get it? Pluto - cold
There’s no turning back
Kicked out of the system
‘Cause to IAU
Everyone listens
Suddenly it morphs
And becomes a dwarf
We don't talk about Pluto, no, no,
no! (We don't talk about Pluto, no, no, no!)
We don't talk about Pluto (we don't talk about Pluto!)
It must orbit round the sun
Yes, though it’s slow (Oh, oh!)
It must have some gravity
Yes, it’s got that so… (So, so!)
It must be the biggest one that’s around,
I think that is… oh! (No, no! Oh!)
Seems Pluto don’t make the cut so it’s no go!
Although the existence of another planet
fit with astrophysics
Although the long held presence meant it’s been added to pnemonics
It seems that Pluto’s had its day
Although the new classification means
no Planet X
To solve the conundrum
We must now search again
Really? Or could it be that it’s not there (Must we now search again?)
We will not search again
Um, Pluto...
But what about Pluto...
I just wanted to know about Pluto...
Gimme the truth, just the truth on Pluto
(Shall we do it all one more time)
All together!
There’s no turning back (it was a
wondrous day, it was a wondrous day)
Kicked out of the system (Had my comparator)
‘Cause to IAU (which I used to image the sky)
Everyone listens (I used it to image
the sky!)
Suddenly it morphs (A year had passed
‘til I saw in that glass)
And becomes a dwarf (What’s that?)
Something new that was moving on by
That meant I had to look again
Sure enough what did I see (There’s
no turning back, kicked out of the system)
What did I see there?
That moving shape, oh, could it be?
Soon it started becoming clear
It’s a new discovery
And so!
Don't talk about Pluto, no! (Why did
I talk about Pluto?)
Not a word about Pluto!
I never should've brought up Pluto!
