"NASA Johnson Style" ("Gangnam Style" Parody)


NASA and its astronauts have achieved many great things -- moon landings, the Hubble Telescope, sending Voyager 1 to interstellar space -- but their greatest badge of honor could possibly be the fact that they somehow managed to make a pretty freakin' sweet parody of "Gangnam Style". (Truly turning the impossible into the possible here, folks.)

NASA Johnson put this video out in December of 2012 to spark public interest in the space program. And. It. Rocks. Mike Massimino, veteran of two Space Shuttle missions that serviced Hubble, looks on disapprovingly in the video... but eventually even he breaks down and gets into it. Clay Anderson, Mission Specialist who has 152 days logged aboard the International Space Station, shows us his KILLER dance moves and also three time extra-vehicular activity spacewalker, Tracy Caldwell Dyson, makes several happy cameos.

"NASA Johnson Style" lyrics: 

NASA Johnson Style
Johnson Style

Welcome to NASA's Johnson Space Center
We are coming in hot so don't burn up as we enter
We do science everyday that affects your daily life
Throw them up for manned space flight

Science everywhere
As we engineer the marvels
That fly though the air 
And take us way beyond earth's levels

Science everywhere 
Because we engineer the marvels
That fly though the air 
Flys us through the air

Control the mission out of Johnson
This is ground, hey!
And this is space, hey!
Tell me Houston what's the problem 
It's okay!
It's okay!
Because there's flight controllers on the job today 

NASA Johnson STYLE!
Johnson STYLE!
NA, NA, NA, NA NASA Johnson STYLE!
Johnson STYLE!
NA, NA, NA, NA NASA Johnson STYLE!
EYYYYYY science daily!
NA, NA, NA, NA, NASA STYLE!
EYYYYYY it's amazing!
NA, NA, NA, NA ey ey ey ey ey ey!!
Orbiting earth, international space station
Where we work and live in space with a crew from several nations
Got Japanese, and Russians, that European charm 
Throw them up, like the Canada Arm

Kicking out research
29k cubic feet, revolves around the earth
Science microgravity, revolves around the earth
Columbus, JEM, and Destiny
Kicking out research
Kicking out research

Train the astronauts at Johnson
To go to space, hey!
To go to space, hey! 
Cause the missions of tomorrow 
Start today, hey!
Start today, hey!
As we engineer the future day by day

NASA Johnson STYLE!
Johnson STYLE!
NA, NA, NA, NA NASA Johnson STYLE!
Johnson STYLE!
NA, NA, NA, NA NASA Johnson STYLE!
EYYYYYY science daily!
NA, NA, NA, NA, NASA STYLE!
EYYYYYY it's amazing!
NA, NA, NA, NA ey ey ey ey ey ey!!

Orion or SLS, MPCV 
We cannot feel the floor, cause the lack gravity
The destinations are an asteroid, mars, or moon 
We are blasting off start the countdown soon
[Sound clip: launch countdown]

EYYYYYY science daily!
NA, NA, NA, NA, NASA STYLE!
EYYYYYY it's amazing!
NA, NA, NA, NA ey ey ey ey ey ey!!
NASA Johnson Style
