Default Saturn Nights (Tell Me More)

Since my Martian Mash got such rave reviews here, this is something similar I've cooked up.
To the tune of "Summer Nights (Tell Me More)" from Grease-
Quote:
Saturn Nights (Tell Me More)

Reporters:
Saturn visit, had me a blast
But Voyager, went by so fast
And those photos stirred something in me
Saw those moons, cool as can be
V'ger days, all gone away, ooh, but now Cassini nights

Spokesperson:
The press conference will begin.

Reporters:
Wa wa wa-
Tell me more, tell me more
Is it really that far?
Tell me more, tell me more
From where we are?

Spokesperson:
Nine point five AU
'Way from the sun
In '97, the mission begun
29 years, for Saturn to go 'round
And in water, it would not drown
(It would float!)
Sixth from the sun, Cassini's begun oh, oh the Saturn nights
Wa wa wa-

Reporters:
Tell me more, tell me more
What makes those rings?
Tell me more, tell me more
Yes, what kind of things?

Spokesperson:
Bits of rock, and bits of ice
This is Titan, isn't it nice?
Oh, this job, it really rocks
They'll be more pictures, at ten o'clock
Saturn's rings, what gorgeous things, and oh, oh the Saturn nights
Comments?

Your version runs rings around the original.

Plus there's no John Revolta association.

As long as it's not performed by the Future Scientologists Club...

Thanks, guys! I'm thinking of doing a cover of the Jonas Brothers' Kids Of The Future, which is itself a cover of Kids In America.

Kids of the Future

After watching this, I pray for the Matrix.

Machines, please rise up.

Please.
