Lyrics for "Interplanet Janet";
They say our solar system is centered around the sun
Nine planets, large and small, parading by
But somewhere out in space
There's another shining face
That you might see some night up in the sky
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl
A solar system Miss from a future world
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun
It's a hot-spot, it's a gas!
Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass
It's a star, it's a star!
So Janet got an autograph!
Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by
But the mercury on Mercury was much too high
So Janet split for Venus but on Venus she found
She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around
Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting
So Janet thought she'd give it a go
But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet
She didn't even dare to say hello
It's a bird, it's a plane!
Why, it must be a UFO, but it was:
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl
A solar system Miss from a future world
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
Mars is red and Jupiter's big
And Saturn shows off its rings
Uranus is built on a funny tilt
And Neptune is its twin
And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the Sun
They say our solar system is not alone in space
The Universe has endless mystery
Some future astronaut
May find out that what he'd thought
Was a shooting star instead turned out to be...
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl
A solar system Miss from a future world
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen

Interplantet Janet calls Pluto a planet.
Therefore it is.
It’s not a planet anymore as of 2006
That was the 1970s, and Pluto was considered a planet then. But as Keanu said, it's not a planet anymore.
Ricky M wrong
Sorry but it always will be in the hearts and minds of humans everywhere, just saying something doesn't make it so.
if ya can't trust Interplanet Janet than who can you trust?
Janet: Mercury is too hot.
Also Janet: (has a dance party in the sun)
😂
Sounds like your typical double standard.
heat vs humidity
😂
I think about this a lot
Pluto, little Pluto. Rip. You will always be a planet to me.
Damn right! This is a hill I will die on.
@@oddcrafter1270 If you want to include dwarf planets, go right ahead. Just remember that that that means there are dozens of them.
(Also, Pluto was only ever counted because its high albedo resulted in early size estimates being completely wrong.)
@@chakatfirepaw Fine by me!
@@oddcrafter1270 OK, just remember that Jupiter is now at least the 5th planet from the sun.
@@chakatfirepaw What's so bad about that? It already was.
I like how the song goes into some detail about the first three planets and just half-asses the rest of the planets beyond Earth.
@Will N the magic school bus lmao
@@ThisisRaP44 I also hate it when Uranus was pronounced "Ur-O-nus"
@@henrygerecke5376 They can’t invite any “Your Anus” jokes.
If they wanted more attention they should've been closer to the Sun!
Lol 😂 they only had 3 minutes 😂😂 plus prob couldn’t find anything creative or fun for the others
The irony of the Sun wearing sunglasses. What's he protecting HIS eyes from???
Janet’s hotness
@@henrygerecke5376 So True
Maybe He's blind
Supernovae and other cosmic events
It could be a fashion thing. Looking cool and all.
To me, this song is the definition of euphoria. It’s just pure, unadulterated joy.
Also, it slaps, and Janet’s hair is goals.
Spiritual.
LOL
The lady sang this so beautifully and I love it.
Me too, the lady singing this song is Lynn Ahrens.
@@zacharycalgher6001 her voice is so beautiful still love schoolhouse rock.
@@zacharycalgher6001well I just wanna thank her for the memories, her voice carried me places a poor child wasn't born into , but deserved to be
❤
She was the secretary for the marketing firm that did School House rocks. Pretty cool.
No kidding,@@cynthiafentress6138.
When she sings “Some future astronaut may find out that what he thought a shooting star instead turned out to be” I always get goosebumps
This unlocked a memory from before I had consciousness
Same
Before you had consciousness?.
I don’t know what that means but it sounds pretty cool. Yay!
College student here. I was stressing out over an upcoming astronomy exam and I randomly thought of this song. Now I feel a little better. Sometimes nostalgia is the best medicine.
Schoolhouse Rock got me through life.... A lot of my education came from Schoolhouse Rock! And, my love of classical music and the arts came from Bugs Bunny! Who says TV rots the brain?!
Haven’t heard this song in like a decade until I randomly had it stuck in my head during a dream I had so here I am in 2022
This song goes so hard I could listen to it on a loop and never get bored
Chord progression go crazy
We learned so much from school house rock.
I'm not even mad that this song randomly came up in my head, it's very nostalgic.
For the 50th anniversary, ABC should’ve launched a drone that looks like Interplanet Janet 😂
I love the planet that says "Hi Janet" to Janet as she passes by
“There’s never been a planet Janet hasn’t seen”
How old is she and just how fast can she travel?!
Janet Thotiana😂
its a cartoon for children it aint that deep lol
She’s clearly not human and thus likely has a different if not much greater life span. Similarly, she has some form of built in rocket or engine, so she could likely move much more quickly than humans would be able to simply due to the fact that she has the power of a rocket with only the weight of a single person.
Back then there was still a lot of question as to how many other planets there were.
@@Statalyzer yup, and we were still decades till we discovered the first planet around another star.
Hydrogen and Helium love that part and of course the verse about earth. We creatures on this planet are pretty weird. I too wouldn’t dare to say “hello”.
CERTIFIED BANGER
This is pure nostalgia but the songs are also so well constructed.
I have an aunt named Janet, and this girl definitely reminds me of her. Even though she’s not an astronomer. 🌎😊
I love Lynn Ahrens' voice.
Was she in a group?
@HakTunes I doubt it.
Now I know how I got my lifelong fascination with astronomy - thanks Janet!! ❤
RIP. NEVER FORGET PLUTO
Lynn Ahern who wrote sang many Schoolhouse Rock songs really had an impact on so many of us!
*Ahrens…..apologies
This one was always my favorite
Mine, too! I used to sing it as a kid and to this day, I never forgot the chorus. It was a trip back in time.
@@NatYourAverageNerd How abiuout we cover it together sometime?
I love this Schoolhouse classic! One of my favorites as a child...
❤I love this song and I love all the Schoolhouse Rock songs. But I just have to say that “Fireworks” is my favorite song of Schoolhouse Rock music.
I remember watching this in elementary school
That means your teacher was either a Boomer who wanted you to know the cool stuff Boomers did, or a GenXer who wanted you to be another GenXer
@@secularmonk5176 I’m glad I did too I was watch this and magic school bus I’m glad I was born before It got washed over
oh really?? get in line
Okay, but can we take a moment to note just how clever "the mercury on Mercury was much too high" is?
When I was a kid and saw this one, l would say, "That's impossible. I thought the Universe went on forever, and that only God knows where ever thing is. How
can she know how many planets there are." 🤔
Lol, I got confused by “there’s never been a planet Janet hasn’t seen” because that would mean she’d have to be on or near every planet the exact second it formed and that seemed very illogical.
@@flowerfaerie8931 yeah and that simply the obversable universe when scientists have hypothesized that the actual universe is like 970 sextillion times bigger than the observable universe
@Will N Yes but if there’s NEVER been a planet Janet hasn’t seen, then she’d have to be everywhere at once, otherwise once a planet formed there would be one she hadn’t seen until she got there to look at it.
I mean the song did say Janet's from the future. We don't know how far in the future she's from; it could very well be a time long after the last planet has died and she already had plenty of time to visit every planet in existence in the meanwhile.
The real answer is that I think some of y'all are looking too deep into Schoolhouse Rock lore lol
@@flowerfaerie8931 if she saw the big bang she would have seen every planet that ever could and ever would exist
My favorite!!!
I do not remember this song slapping so hard
I love this one
I remembered all these School House Rock shorts
Always been my favorite Schoolhouse rock song
Venus is the name of a song performed by 🍌rama and the brand of women's razor blades. This song is bouncy and energetic at the same time. I love Astronomy so much, because it's my favorite subject in Science. NOT just the human body alone. This song goes through me. *cry Lynn Ahrens nailed it well.
goes hard🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I love this lol part of childhood
One of my favorite childhood songs thank you mom for introducing me
One of the main hotties of the show, along with Sarah Suffrage and Becky Sue
Oh the nostalgia
This song was so fast paced, that I always wet my pants 😆 everytime I listen to this Schoolhouse Rock song back when I was kid, thankfully I was still wearing pull-ups so I was good.
I'm going to show this to my niece to show her it's okay to make mistakes when learning as long as you can correct them and move forward. However Pluto will always be in my heart. It even has a heart on it.
Since the astronomer who coined the term "dwarf planet" meant for it to be a third category of planet (which I agree with, because dwarf planets are spherical and have stable, consistent orbits), it could be said we have a different number of planets the _other_ way. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Orcus, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, Quaoar, and Sedna so far make sixteen planets. By time I'm gone, there probably will be at least two dozen discovered (including a possible gas giant far off in the distance). The coolest part is, Orcus is actually a counter-Pluto (shares Pluto's orbit but 180 degrees on the opposite side of the sun from it, the first counter-planet discovered).
Watching these videos takes me back to my childhood back in the early and mid 90s on Saturday mornings. After the Tweety and bugs Bunny show schoolhouse rock would come on
*(NUMBER 8):* Number 8, that galaxy girl: "Interplanet Janet."
Yes
Havent heard this song in like 6 years.. I just thought of this song so i decided to come back and listen to it
the singer Lynn Ahrens is mostly known for being Stephen Flaherty's collaborator and together they gave us songs from Anastasia, Buster & Chauncey's Silent Night and Seussical
I just love this song so much
Miss stuff like this
The good old days when Pluto was still a planet
Such fond feelings arise whenever SHR songs are heard these days.
Saturday mornings, wearing our PJs later than the schooldays would’ve had us trapped, NOT changing the channel (manually, mind you) when THESE played…. Makes us feel safe & fun!!!
We sound like the old farts we never thought we’d be. I do miss those days, though (dare I say most of all?!). Hmmm,,, 👍
Pluto is still a planet to me.
Janet shook her head when the singer said Pluto was the smallest planet. Of course Janet knew. Still love me some Pluto though.
Rest in peace, George Newall.
Babyyy she sang that!!!
Man I remember my teacher used to play these videos
Finally a nostalgic video not corrupted by RUclips Kids!!
Funny. I forgot all of these schoolhouse rock vids, until I saw them again...I was like...."Oh, yeahhhhh" hahaha...Me? 1970. represent
If Janet wasn't able to withstand the temperature on Mercury, how was she able to withstand the temperature of the Sun or Venus?
Wow!
"Hi Janet"
l love school house rock 😍
I KNEW that Schoolhouse Rock had a song that features a female named JANET, the same name as my aunt in Silver Springs, MD.
Interplanet Janet is so well known I had to copy the entire song on paper! June 15 +16 2021
Excellent Planet Study! Kenneth A Huang 8/28/22
🎤🎹 interplanet Janet she's a galaxy girl in solar system Ms. from the feature world 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
I kinda hope someone starts making new schoolhouse rock episodes so I can play them for my kids
Nothing wrong with showing them the originals
Just not the History Rock ones because they’re off the rails inaccurate.
Interplanet says It's a planet, it's a planet!
Nope! Pluto is a dwarf planet. Deal with it.
Jacob continues singing and dancing to Interplanet Janet while Roo, Tutter, Sonya Lee, and Tigger fall over and close their eyes for the last few seconds.
I really want to go back to elementary school lol
I forgot I was Learning watching back in 2003 at 7 I was just listening to the funk.
I used this song in 2022 for a school play omg this brings so many memories 😭
Janet would be anatomically terrifying to see in person
Epic
HOMER AND CHRIS: (Theme Song Begins) (SINGING) Here’s Dry Bowser, Jacob, and Sonya Lee, They’re always troublemakers who misbehave because Jacob hurt people doing nasty bad stuff on his misbehaving mission.

MAGGIE: (Reading) Where’s Jacob?

MEMA: Jacob, what you played was Interplanet Janet. That was too loud. You played it outside. You should have played Ready Or Not, Here I Come. You better play Naughty Number Nine next time. Do you understand?
JACOB: Yes.
(SINGING TOO LOUD): Hasn’t seen!!
MEMA: You better get back inside. Do you understand? Yes?

(Handcuffs clicking)
POLICE DEPARTMENT: Okay. Now get in the police car. You are going to jail.
JUDGE: Security Prison Guards, take Jacob away to his cell.
SECURITY GUARD: Jacob, this is your cell. You will stay in there until you can obey the law. One more thing. Visitors have come to talk to you.
MOM: Jacob, we only come to see you once a week. Do you know why?
JACOB: No.
MOM: Because you were disturbing the peace playing Interplanet Janet.
DAD: You better play Multiplication Rock next time. Do you understand?
JACOB: Yes, mom.
MEMA: Jacob, you are not allowed to play Interplanet Janet, and yes, you did mean to play it too loud.
PAPA: This better not happen again.
DAD: Understand?
JACOB: Shut up!
MOM: Is that a yes?
JACOB: No!!
MOM: You don’t understand?
JACOB: (Screaming)
MEMA: Jacob, remember? You were not supposed to play Interplanet Janet.
MOM: That’s right. And you understood that, didn’t you?
JACOB: No!!!
DAD: So, you don’t understand?
JACOB: (Screaming)
MOM: That’s it, you will be eating Mac and cheese and Chicken.
DAD: And you will drink coffee and water.
MEMA: Water is the only thing you like.
PAPA: That’s right. You will also watch the news and black and white silent movies and listen to opera.
MEMA: And you will sleep on a cot.
MOM: And you will wear an orange jumpsuit.
DAD: And you will read Encyclopedia and newspapers.
PAPA: Goodbye Jacob.
JACOB: Life isn’t fair.
Nostalgia
INTERPLANET JANET, SHES A GALAXY GIRL!
I wonder why this has so many more views than the other schoolhouse rock songs. Don't get me wrong, it's one heck of an earworm- and the animation is excellent! But WHY?
Loving still in 2024
90’s kids ❤
I wonder if she has met mr. twelve toas?
Still know every single worrrdddddd
*sobs quietly for pluto*
Liliputian07 I am Pluto for our school play 😂
There is hope! According to recent science news, Pluto, as well as over 100 other objects in our solar system, may become planets! :D
Pluto is one of 5 Dwarf Planets in the Solar System. So don't only cry for Pluto, also cry for Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake. There are currently 13 planets in our Solar System, not 8 or 9
Metagrossfreak It will be 12 when earth dies.
Metagrossfreak well as it stands out the only way Pluto could be a planet is to include places like Ceres, Eric, and Makemake as planets and the eight or nine planet system we've long been using is no longer viable.
You've got the right idea, Janet. Get as far away from Earth as you can get. Quick.
ya because of Donald Trump
Douche.....
Amy Mayer I agree
Vera Evans U don't think she is from earth because if she really was then they would have probably recognized her when she went to earth
Even if Trump wasn't in the White House. if I was an alien I'd steer clear of a planet where the likes of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Robert Mugabe and Rodrigo Duterte were in charge of anything.
I am a senior. I did a play in the second grade singing these songs. I woke up and THIS was stuck in my head and I hadn't heard it in 10 years?
+Brittany Whitter Conjunction Junction and a Bill on Capital Hill are two that will never leave my head. I haven't watched them since around 4th grade probably.
***** But shitty networks made the very last Saturday Morning Cartoons end in 2014. I miss those ones, and wish I could have experienced other ones.
Don't use bad language please!
+Stephen Treadwell Sticks and stones..
SlimJimGames @ ii
I hate to say I'm getting old but... when this song was released Pluto was still a planet, and the reason the lyrics gloss over the details of the outer planets is because they hadn't really been well-visited by probes yet. Um... that's my lawn you're standing on.
+Kevin Frushour - Saturn hadn't been visited at all in 1978, and of course not Uranus or Neptune or Pluto. Pioneer 11 was the first probe to reach Saturn (Aug 1979). I remember a big picture of Saturn on the front page of the newspaper in 1980 when Voyager first reached the planet. It's funny to think back to this cartoon that I grew up watching, and how it came before we really knew a lot of information about the outer solar system. (I think they weren't certain of the conditions on Venus, either)
@Kevin Frushour Sorry, should I turn down my music and get a haircut too? :D
Kevin Frushour 😂
Kevin Frushour By the one I was a kid, we at least knew that Pluto was cold, and...that’s about it. You have a very nice lawn.
I feel sorry for the kids who werent graced by this amazing show growing up. Pure class and swift teaching with catchy toon and song. Friggin a i miss this show.
Tra Gik Me too
Honestly, when I think of euphoria, this song comes to my mind. Just pure, unadulterated joy.
Angeles Lennon-Dameron same it's so happy
Hey It's Charlie -Just Another Soulless Ginger same! it just sounds so joyful and exciting
Why does this comment make me tear up? Because it's TRUE! ❤
Some were spiritual, like this one. I loved them all, and they really did help in my learning.
I don't care what some damn scientists say, Pluto will always be a planet to me. ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!
I love how she sings "Some future astronaut/ may find out that what he thought..." Her voice got chesty and the vibrato rocked. And the backup singers really rocked out at the end. I love this song!
Reminds me of Janet from Rocky Horror Picture Show singing .....
I was just thinking this very same thing, how her voice went from airy to forceful was amazing! Lynne Ahrens - an absolute legend.
To be honest. The background singers rocked out the entire song
This song needs an update.
"There hasn't been a planet Janet hasn't seen! So sit down kids, were gonna be a while..."
"Gliese 667Cc has three suns, HD 189733b has storms of glass rain, and 2MASS J08230313-4912012 b is really REALLY big..."
Not to nitpick but Janet went to the Sun but was okay then she went to Mercury and it was too hot?
Lmao
+hanoc101 Not to mention she actually went INSIDE the sun too.
+hanoc101 Not to mention Venus is hotter than Mercury, having a hellish atmosphere and all.
+hanoc101 I guess the writers just wanted to say, "But the mercury on Mercury was much to high." The repetition there. But I definitely see your point.
Why are we all making it this deep?
Petition to name the new 9th planet Janet
I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SIGN
"Didn't dare say hello" Smart girl Janet smart girl
There hasn't been a planet Janet seen, so Pluto is a planet. I don't care what they say.
Pluto *was* considered a planet at the time this song was written, but just not anymore.
Pipe Picasso hell yeah! Pluto said to nasa... AT KEAST YOUR MOM THOUGHT IM BIG ENOUGH HAHAHA
It's not a planet. It's a Dwarf Planet. Which is an important distinction to make. See, a planet can orbit freely without any danger to it. A Dwarf Planet is at risk of a major collision with other objects of its size due to lacking a clear orbit. This is a part of planetary formation, which means that Pluto is in fact a baby planet that hasn't been "born" yet.
@@MeepChangeling so... what you're saying is... Pluto still has a chance?
Same here
Been stuck in my head, on and off, for about 35 years... Hats off to Schoolhouse Rock for being indelibly memorable.
"the mercury on mercury was much too high"
OH MY GOD I GET IT NOW
Higher than Mario
Atomic Betty could never.
Jane Jetson is quaking
Some things are so nostalgic that it makes you tear up. Parents, let your kids be kids for as long as they can.
I had always loved this song and I recently found out that it is written after my grandmother (her name is Janet)! My grandfather was a rocket scientist and a guy who worked for School House Rock came to stay with them. He decided it made for a good song! 😄
That's so cool!
It was written by Lynn Ahrens.
@Gracie J Ummm, some evidence please? Else, they should restrict internet at the nursing home...
Thumbs up if you would like to go back to a happier time, when cartoons were entertaining and educating, like Schoolhouse Rock and The Jackson 5ive Show.
dollarsmakesense11 They still are, you just have to look in the right places..
Even though Schoolhouse Rock was a classic, the censors were far too active in the 70s, and good cartoons were few and far in between.
Yeah, the early-to-mid 1990s is where you want to go for good cartoons and the censors not giving a fuck (as long as no parents complained).
dollarsmakesense11 totally agree!!!
I don't even seem to remember any Jackson Five show - THAT must be one that I missed.
