These guys were so moved with affection for Pluto that they created a music video.

Ever heard the song?

Who you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
Attourney in this journey
versus those who tried to ban it.
If you don't agree
go see interplanet Janet
Cause the sun is star
like Pluto is planet.

Like the song says, Do it for the children.

Like the song says, Do it for the children.

is that excluding Pluto turns the now defunct, but talented funk/rap/rock duo 2 Skinnee J's excellent song, "Pluto is a Planet", into one giant lie! A lie!

A lie I've believed for just too long.

Therefore, I advise astronomers to make Pluto a planet again. Make inquisitive Googlers search for "Pluto+planet" on Google instead of "Pluto+not+planet."

I ask this with the hope of making 2 Skinnee J's commercially successful, therefore making them reunite to entertain me. And we're really just concerned about me here.

Here's a song that 2 Skinny J's did (live, kind of a rough recording) where they support the definition of planethood for pluto.

"So lend me all ears and let me state my case,
about all the types of satellites we must embrace "

I had the pleasure of going to J's concert before they retired last year. It was truly awesome. My roomate has met them before as well after a couple of shows.

They just had a reunion tour as well, which I was not able to go see.

The great thing about the J's is that their song topics are very geek'ish but musically they have great rhythm, great flow, creative lyrics, and a truly wonderful fun sound.

Check out http://www.2sj.com/downloads/mp3s.html for a sample of their music. Star wars fans should like the live version of Irresistable Force.

If we are going to have an article on nerdcore rap, I'm going to pimp the best nerdcore rap group alive: The 2 Skinnee J's.

I like to think that the 2 Skinnee Js have decided this issue once and for all as evidenced by the lyrics for their song Pluto off the $uperMercado album. They might even have mp3s on their site still.

Pluto by 2 Skinnee J's

With depravity I break laws of gravity
Blast past the atmosphere to the last frontier
I go boldly through space and time
The skies the limit but they're limiting the sky
I break orbit by habit, ignite satellites and leave rings round the planet
A flying ace like that beagle
Nevertheless this alien remains illegal
'cause their discovery don't cover me
the immigrant's been left in the cold to grow old and disintegrate
discriminate against the distant and disclaim this
cause small minds can't see past Uranus
But I shun their rays, 'cause stuns just a phase
And my odyssey runs in two thousand and one ways
And I can see clearly now like Hubble,
Shoved off the shuttle, here's my rebuttal
It's a planet

Who you represent? I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney versus those who've tried to ban it
If you don't agree go see Interplanet Janet
Cause sun is star, like Pluto is planet
Lend me all your ears and let me state my case
About all the types of satellites you must embrace
Cause like my parents, great grandparents
This planet was an immigrant
To deport it makes no sense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Apply the laws of earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition 187
When Pluto spawns a moon it will apply to the heavens
I will damn thee like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this mote remote to affiliate
It's like taking ET's custody from Elliot
Support your Lilliput, cause simply put

Pluto is a planet

Do it for the children

The 2 Skinnee Js have a nice song about this whole issue. The song is called "Pluto" off of "$uper Mercado." The lyrics are easily googled.
