The Space Sim Song was written in 1995 some time after the conclusion of Pluto 1995. Unfortunately, the tune is unknown. The document upon which the lyrics were written was preceded by "(If you don't know the words, fake it)" in a cursive font. Note: the lyrics have not been changed at all from the original document. To note addenda, <TEXT> will be used, with the added text appearing where TEXT is in the example. Struckthrough text will be used for lyrics that were taken out. The author of this piece is unknown, but the following note appeared in italics at the bottom of the page: "(Note: The author takes no responsibility for any verses beyond the first two (which were not his own). This is not meant as a final draft, and should not, in fact, be displayed in public.)" However, the Director of Web and Archives of 2009-10, Ben Paul, felt that this important historical document should be included in the wiki project.
Lyrics
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the astronauts.
We fly, we fly, we fly, we fly, we fly around a lot.
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the very best.
We're the O.B.E.S.S.
Refrain (I love that word):
Glory, glory and it's off to space we go.
Glory, glory as we shout out "Spaceward Ho!"
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the very best.
We're the O.B.E.S.S.
The astronauts all flew out <all> quite ignorant of their fate.
First they had a water leak, then it's pinkness <colour> did grate.
<Oh,> They stemmed the flow though did not know that cardboard wasn't good
But the latex removed all the particles of <And then there was the> wood.<...> <Using latex gloves since <because> they had not duct tape like they should>
Glory, glory...
Bravely they all flew out but <then> one of them got cold feet.
They said it was frozen N2, but it burned him just like heat.
He persevered, when orbit neared, they dropped him back on earth
But he came right back, flapped his wings for all he's <And at the feast he proved his> worth
Glory, glory...
When they got to Pluto it was cold as Anatole's feet.
John went for a spacewalk and he called it really neat.
Now Madhiv<ava> tries to analyze the things that he brought back
But what puzzles him most is the pinkness of his bath.
Glory, glory...
They flew out to the asteroid belt to make an FTL.
Pulled a StarTrek on the physics, but <the> nav prog still was hell
A m<M>eteor shower met vacuum power but all turned out okay
And kiddie sim routinely lasts forever and <were Hell in> a day
Glory, glory and it's off to space we go.
Glory, glory as we shout out "Spaceward Ho!"
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the very best.
We're the O.B.E.S.S.
