Uranus lyrics

• 1. William Herschel was the astronomer who, in 1781, first recognised Uranus as a planet and not as a star.
• 2. the Calippo (a popsicle brand) is often used in Italian jokes for its phallic shape, which makes it perfect to be licked and sucked.
• 3. in the music video, one of the singers here strikes a pose like the Sailor Guardians, characters from the Japanese "Sailor Moon" manga & anime. Each Guardian takes her power and name from one of the planets of the Solar system. The dancers too are now dressed as one of those Guardians, Sailor Uranus.
• 4. the music here starts making references to the Bee Gees’ 1977 hit "Stayin’ alive".
• 5. Voyeur 2 is a pun on the name "Voyager 2", the space probe that in 1986 took the first photos of the planet.
• 6. 19 AUs is the average distance from Uranus to the Sun. Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit
• 7. reference to the AC/DC song "Highway to hell".
• 8. as usual, the Italian band Nanowar of Steel put one single Italian-based pun in their "international" song: the English word "cool" sounds like the Italian "culo", which means "ass".
