- Why was the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. engaged in a space race? How did we make it to the moon? Was it worth the $26 billion dollars it cost? Of course it was! Man walked on the moon!

"En la Brisa" Music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com
Back in 1945,
The Allies had just won WW2,
The United States arrived as a superpower,
Oh my god, the communists,
Have Eastern Europe in their midst,
An Iron Curtain's been affixed,
(So what?) We had the technology,
Others nations could only dream,
Until 1949, the Ruskies go nuclear,
'57, Dread on our face,
They launch Sputnik into space,
We are now in second place,
Silver medals ain't enough for U.S.
It ain't only about science,
There's a problem this feat creates,
Now the Russians could launch missiles,
All the way into outer space,
They could hit any target, in the United States,
With Sputnik, this has started... the Cold War's Space Race
Well we also got a rocket, called the Vanguard TV3,
But when we tried to launch it, it blew up on live TV,
It's time we founded NASA, in 1958,
We're in Space Race, baby. Go USA!
I'll say this for Germany,
Their scientists really knew their thing,
After Allied victory,
A bunch were working for us but
Also for the Russians and in 61', Yuri Gagarin,
Became the world's first spaceman,
(Oh no!)
JFK knew catching up,
To the Soviets wouldn't do,
America had had enough,
We needed to take the lead,
So in an awesome speech he made,
He pledged during that decade,
America would take first place,
We will land a man on the moon before you can!
Now it's time to step our game, with Mercury and Gemini,
$26 Billion later, it's July 1969,
Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, are strapped in to place,
There goes Apollo 11, into outer space,
Three days later Armstrong, took a small step for a man,
But a giant leap for mankind, he was followed by Buzz Aldrin,
Don't forget Michael Collins, who flew them to the moon,
We're winning the Space Race, baby, 'Cause that's what we do.
Twelve men have made it to the lunar surface,
Only America has gone and done this,
Conrad, Bean, Shepard, Mitchell, Cernan, and Schmitt,
Irwin, Young, Scott and Duke, have also done it.
The race could've went forever, but in 1975,
The U.S. and Russia, had a much more friendly vibe,
Apollo and Soyuz craft linked up in outer space,
This signifies the end of the Cold War Space Race,
You may ask was it worth but you can thank the Space Race for,
Satellite navigation, and the joystick on your PS4,
Thousands of daily products were made for outer space,
So the winner was really the whole human race.
Hi. I am Russian. I've been studying English for 5 years. It's cool language. And yesterday we started a new topic, it was a "Space race"... And our teacher showed us this video. It's great. Sorry, if I have mistakes, I am only 12...
English isn't as good as our language.
@@rjanvhidt9490 ouch
You’re really god at English. I’m learning Spanish.
Of I mean you’re good at English
Your grammar is very good!!🤯
This is my favorite one of your parodies, I've watched multiple times.
Same
Honesty
same
3rd favorite my favorite is lee vs lincoln
Same
This has made my day so much better! Idk why but your singing leaves me with a smile that never ceases to go away.
TheLinkhero99 Because what I lack in perfect pitch and range, I make up geeked-out pride and enthusiasm .
@@MrBettsClass No joke XD
AP HISTORY TEST TOMORROW WOO WOO!!!!!! Thanks for all the parodies! They've really helped!
+Hannah Davenport just don't sing them too loud and get in trouble
everything about this video is perfect
the lyrics fit well, the singing is good,
AND THE VISUALS
your facial expressions and motions are amazing
“IT BLEW UP ON LIVE TV” **Says In Happy Sound**
Dark Humor... Nice Way To Go There Pl
So I am a junior and I have learned more from your videos than I have from my actual work and it is fantastic, I have End of Course assements this week and I'm still kinda stuck on FDR's new deal policies
can you help?
+Johnny Collins Check out my New Deal/Uptown Funk parody. Hopefully it helps.
Thanks!
My son teaches high school history and sent me this link because I was incensed that the move "First Man" never even said Michael Collins' name. Thank you Mr Betts for remembering Michael!!!
This taught me about the cold war. Also, I never knew about the space race. But now I do. I wish I could be creative like you. :). You are so creative!
This is on Mr betts rad playlist. It is a great playlist with the best of Mr betts. By the way, I know ever word in this. It is a work of art.
I love your parodies! they are the best and make learning things fun! (Especially social studies)
My teacher showed me this video and now I love this channel
You saved my life! I had to make a 1950s playlist with 10 songs. 5 songs during the 50s and 5 modern songs about the 1950s. It's extremely hard to find modern songs about the 50s.
Well, we're doing the civil war for the most of finals. can you do Gettysburg Address.
+Dustin Davis I wish, I do have it one the schedule for next year. It the meantime, you could check out my emancipation proclamation song
+MrBettsClass I had already seen it. But, thank you.
I have a blank space baby and I will write your name baby *opens the Death Note* ;)
Thanks for making this I found it when we were watching your civil war video but I'm a space nerd so I needed to see this
hi Mr betts I love your songs my teacher let's the class listen to them all the time
Dear Mr Bett, Thank you for your songs they help me out a lot with school. They are way more fun than documentals and are way more easy to understand and remember! I hope my teachers where more like you! Keep up the good work :D
Thank you for this. I will be putting this video into my PowerPoint about the Space Race. I just hope my teacher and class appreciates it like I do.
Respect Man such a great teacher, amazing creativity to come up with parody like that. Nice One
Does anyone else just listen to these for fun?

I've just got to say - that twist at the end about the entire human race winning the space race shook me a bit. Really interesting interpretation of events...I like it!

wow I learned more about the cold war and space race. I wonder why was controllers important in the space race. When I saw your face when you said ``Now the Russians could launch missiles, All the way into outer space" on 0:57. It made me laugh so loudly. My mom was laughing too. Keep the United states EDU Music vids coming.
Lol right!!
Scardy cat

I wish I could have found this earlier :b I did a project on the Space Race and this could have helped a lot ! Oh well ^^ I really like your creative way of teaching it's not boring so you pay attention :D You my friend have just got yourself another sub (:
I just started watching him and I love this channel. it would be amazing if you used the song Country Girl (Shake it for me) with something like the Civil war.
I love this
This makes me wish the Space Race had gone on for longer - we could have established bases on the Moon, we could have seen a man on Mars, and so on.
My science and social studies teacher listens to you like everyday we love listening to your songs. Can you do a nation army white stripes o the Civil War please?
You do alot of pop song class parody and their awesome and i was wondering if you could try doing a rock one? Like Linkin park,3 days grace, breaking benjamin or 1000 foot krutch 😅 for example? it'd be really helpful!
your videos help me so much! thank you and keep up the good work.
like if you agree
Glad I could help.
dude, yes! this is perfect. I love it
That was awesome
“The winner was the entire human race” Damn that’s POWERFUL
My kids love this video they have it stuck in their head!!
My teacher showed the class this and it was hilarious
+SMELLY WELLSY I know, right? I'm pretty funny.
you rock! this awesome!
Incredible as always
Just wanted to notify you of the fact that the ps4 only has a joystick because they copied it from the Nintendo 64 controller. Not because of the space race. Nintendo making the N.E.S, S.N.E.S, and Nintendo 64 were not influenced in anyway by the space race, nor was the decision to copy it to the ps controller
Michael Collins lived long enough to see the fiftieth anniversary of the Moon landings. I heard him say that he remembered the day he helped Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin make the "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
my teacher always plays your parody’s for us before we take tests!
My history teacher is such a fan of you I bet he knows every since lyric for every single video but idk, man
i listened to this in class
History bombs: don’t do space race in one take
MrBetts: fine I’ll do it myself
My social studies teacher played this video in class today (it’s her favorite (:
THIS IS AWESOME!!!👍🏻
That Berlin T-shirt is an entire history lesson in and of itself; Germany was split into pieces after World War II, and the pieces looked... kind of like they do on the shirt.
(Applause)
Nice profile pic! Also I think it's cool that you noticed something small like that. Thanks for the explanation. *applause intensifies*
I love MrBettsClass! His song are super good and it’s a really fun way to learn 😁
I didden't know what this was till this video😉😉
Please do one on the btp
Why did the Vanguard TV3 blow up when they tried to launch it?
The Vanguard TV3 exploded because flaming propellant entered the engine and exploded. This was due to inadequate pressurization in the fuel system.

I love this guy
I was wondering, would it be alright if I made a cover of this? We're about to start talking about the Space Race.
+Butterfly Utonium sure, I'd love to see it
Thank you once again for letting me cover it.
I am blown away by how great these are! I wonder if something like the Vietnam war could be done to Maroon 5's Animals song? Just a thought. I have subscribed and can't wait to share these with my class!
Damn this is so good
ILOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I can't stop noticing your millennium falcon t-shirt
I forgot all the words to this, then when I heard blank space 2 years later, I immediately thought it was a parody of this
I'm stupid lol
3:42 🎶Joystick on your PS4 🎶
Xbox players: Am I a joke to u😂
Hello!! I am late to this, but I absolutely LOVE this. But I tried to do some research on the joystick fact because the fact interested me. I found that it was invented in 1926. Did you perhaps mean specifically for gaming devices? because the ones used for piloting aircraft were made before the cold war even started.
Anyways I DO LOVE your video and I have re-watched this at least 20 times already!
3:42 lol I was playing fortnite on my ps4 when I heard him say the joystick on your ps4
According to all known laws
of aviation,
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Ooming!
Hang on a second.
Hello?
- Barry?
- Adam?
- Oan you believe this is happening?
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
Looking sharp.
Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.
Sorry. I'm excited.
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
A perfect report card, all B's.
Very proud.
Ma! I got a thing going here.
- You got lint on your fuzz.
- Ow! That's me!
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!
Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!
- Hey, Adam.
- Hey, Barry.
- Is that fuzz gel?
- A little. Special day, graduation.
Never thought I'd make it.
Three days grade school,
three days high school.
Those were awkward.
Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.
You did come back different.
- Hi, Barry.
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
- Hear about Frankie?
- Yeah.
- You going to the funeral?
- No, I'm not going.
Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.
I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.
That's why we don't need vacations.
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.
- Well, Adam, today we are men.
- We are!
- Bee-men.
- Amen!
Hallelujah!
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...
...9:15.
That concludes our ceremonies.
And begins your career
at Honex Industries!
Will we pick ourjob today?
I heard it's just orientation.
Heads up! Here we go.
Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.
- Wonder what it'll be like?
- A little scary.
Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
This is it!
Wow.
Wow.
We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life
to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
Our top-secret formula
is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
into this soothing sweet syrup
with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...
Honey!
- That girl was hot.
- She's my cousin!
- She is?
- Yes, we're all cousins.
- Right. You're right.
- At Honex, we constantly strive
to improve every aspect
of bee existence.
These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.
- What do you think he makes?
- Not enough.
Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.
- What does that do?
- Oatches that little strand of honey
that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?
Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones. But bees know
that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.
But choose carefully
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.
The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.
What's the difference?
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off
in 27 million years.
So you'll just work us to death?
We'll sure try.
Wow! That blew my mind!
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
I'm relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life.
But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?
Like what? Give me one example.
I don't know. But you know
what I'm talking about.
Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
Wait a second. Oheck it out.
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
- Wow.
I've never seen them this close.
They know what it's like
outside the hive.
Yeah, but some don't come back.
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!
You guys did great!
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
- I wonder where they were.
- I don't know.
Their day's not planned.
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.
