about

When the song was recorded there were 63 moons of Jupiter, but as of February 2019, there are 79 moons! (That's why the song says "at least" sixty-three moons.)

lyrics

Why can’t you dance on Jupiter?
‘Cause it’s a planet that’s mostly made of gas.
Oh, why can’t you dance on Jupiter?
Well, there’s no place to put your feet – no dirt, no grass.

But I wonder if you could dance on Jupiter’s moons?
There are quite a few of them to choose from.
Scientists have found at least sixty-three moons.
There must be one where you could get your groove on.
Oh, there must be one that you could bust a move on.

The four largest moons of Jupiter:
Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede
Were first discovered long ago by Galileo
Who found a telescope was all that he would need.

But did he wonder if you could dance on Jupiter’s moons?
There are quite a few of them to choose from.
Astronomers have found at least sixty-three moons.
There must be one where you could get your groove on.
Oh, there must be one that you could bust a move on.

One of the best known features of Jupiter.
Is a storm called the Great Red Spot.
It’s large enough to fit two or three Earths inside.
And it never goes away – no it does not.

But still I wonder if you could dance on Jupiter's moons?
There are quite a few of them to choose from.
Scientists have found at least sixty-three moons.
There must be one where you could get your groove on.
Oh, there must be one that you could bust a move on.

Our Solar System’s largest planet is Jupiter.
It’s the fifth planet from the sun.
But if you can’t dance on Jupiter,
We’ll cut a rug right here on Earth, ‘cause it’s more fun!
Oh yeah, we’ll dance right here on Earth and have some fun!
