One fine week in May, well, I needed some peace

I packed up my bags and I headed to Nice

I went to see Morby, up there on that hill

And we started talking, as scientists will.

Now, Morby and I have been working for ages

We’ve had this sweet project that’s chopped into stages

We wanted the thing to go out with a bang

To make a big splash (or, well, maybe a clang)!

Our project’s called MOJO. It’s been lots of fun

It’s all about planets and how they begun

The agency funding it’s called ANR

We’re awfully grateful, we honestly are.

We’ve had some great people with us. Let me list ’em

They’ve helped us to simulate our Solar System

I’m talking ’bout Andre, Arnaud, and Michiel

Elena, Bert and Seth. They’re the real deal.

So now let me quickly, well, get to the point

See, Morby and I, well, we don’t disappoint

We hired a video team to record us

They picked up their camera and pointed toward us.

Each of us talked about what we’ve discovered

About the ideas that our team has uncovered

All that is new in ol’ planet formation

Like pebble accretion and planet migration.

We studied hot super-Earths: what makes ’em hotter?

And our planet Earth, just how’d it get its water?

And why is it Jupiter’s bigger than Earth?

And why is Mars so much much smaller in girth?

And one final bonus is something quite new-ah

The origins of that thing, Oh-MOO-AH-MOO-AH! [aka ‘Oumuamua]

The object that came from afar just to visit

That’s not unusual. Really, now, is it?

And now, without any more fuss, let’s deploy ’em

Here are the videos. Hope you enjoy ’em.
