Solar System Song

"Solar System" is a song written
by Brian Wilson for the American rock band The Beach Boys.
It was released on their 1977 album The Beach Boys Love You with a
lead vocal by Brian Wilson.

Writing and recording

During the afternoon of October 26, 1976,
Trish Campo, former chief administrator of Brother Studios recalled
Brian at the studio sitting at a Hammond B3 organ, absently gazing at the giant
circular stained glass window over him depicting planets and stars. Later that
afternoon, Campo heard "Solar System" coming out of the
studio. Brian explained that the lyrics were written while driving to a
parents' meeting at his daughters' school. When he got home, he finished the
song on his piano, exclaiming, "This is a gr-eat song!
These lyrics are great. This melody is great. (whistles) I've got a
beauty here!" He then named it one of his favorites on The Beach
Boys Love You, adding, "When I'm 90, I'm gonna be as proud of that
song as I am now.

Music critic Robert Christgau loved The Beach Boys Love You album and
gave it an A overall; and he found "Solar System" to be
"impossible to shake", and characterized by a "silliness that
registered as charming".

Lyrics:

There are 8 Planets in our Solar System

And we revolve around the sun

Join us to learn about the different planets

Now sing along and have some fun

My name is Mercury

I’m the 2nd Hottest Planet

But the closest one to the sun

A year on my surface is 88 Days

I’m the smallest but I’m lots of fun

My name is Venus

I’m The Hottest Planet

But the 2nd Planet from the sun

I’m the Brightest planet in our solar system

And I’m too hot for anyone

My name is Earth

I’m the planet you live on

The 3rd Planet from the sun

I’m the Only Planet with Organic Life

So take care of me because we’re all one

There are 8 Planets in our Solar System

And we revolve around the sun

Join us to learn about the different planets

Now sing along and have some fun

My name is Mars

I am red in color

And the 4th Planet from the sun

I have the highest mountain in our solar system

A volcano named Olympus Mons

My name is Jupiter

I am covered in clouds

And I’m the 5th Planet from the sun

My giant red spot is a raging storm

As for size, I’m the biggest one

My name is Saturn

I am brown in color

I’m the 6th Planet from the sun

My outer rings are extremely thin

They’re made of dust and icy chunks

There are 8 Planets in our Solar System

And we revolve around the sun

Join us to learn about the different planets

Now sing along and have some fun

My names Uranus

I am blue in color

I’m the 7th Planet from the sun

I orbit the sun once in 84 Earth Years

And was Discovered in 1781

My name is Neptune

also, blue in color

I’m the 8th Planet from the sun

I’m the last gas giant in our Solar System

And I’m also The Coldest one

There are 8 Planets in our Solar System

And we revolve around the sun

Join us to learn about the different planets

Now sing along and have some fun
