That's How We Roll On Bortron 7

**That's How We Roll On Bortron 7** is the fifth song in *Back to Bortron 7*. It is sung by the Propulsion family, Sean, Sydney, Uncle Zucchini, Auntie Eggplant, and Cousin Zerk as they fly over the Bortronian city.

## Lyrics

**Jet**:

That’s how we roll on Bortron 7

That’s how we get it done

We figured out it a long time ago

So there’s plenty of time for fun

Yeah, plenty of time for fun

**Carrot and Celery**:

We once built cities till we buried the place

Till we finally ran right out of space

We never let it get us down

Now our houses are mostly underground

**Jet**:

Once we wasted more than we used

Just piling up trash, we were really confused

We finally solved it, we didn’t despair

We recycled, so you never know it’s there

Making hats and phones and paving stones

Now our garbage problem’s teeny

**Sydney**:

So everyone here recycles?

Just like your uncle Zucchini?

**Zucchini**:

Hey, Celery, how you doin', sis?

**Celery**:

Oh, we were just singing about you!

**Zucchini**:

Mind if we join in?

**All:**

That’s how we roll on Bortron 7

That’s how we get it done

We figured out it a long time ago

So there’s plenty of time for fun

Yeah, plenty of time for fun!

A Hammer and a Feather

**A Hammer and a Feather** is the first half of the fortieth episode of *Ready Jet Go!*.

## Synopsis

Sydney shows Jet and Sean a cool experiment - dropping different items from the same height to see which reaches the ground first. That reminds Sean of a video he watched of an astronaut on the Moon dropping a hammer and a feather from the same height. They reach the ground at the same time. And the reason is atmosphere - or lack of it - on the Moon. Jet laughs - really? Wait, what's atmosphere? Well, the kids know the best way to find out - into the wagon/saucer! Our kids and Celery fly to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere to learn what it does... and then go to the Moon. Is the atmosphere around the Moon the same as the Earth's? And what happens when our kids do the hammer-feather drop on the lunar surface?

* Celery is revealed to have super strength, because she was able to lift up the saucer with one hand.
* The reason why the items that the kids dropped off of the treehouse railing didn't hit the ground at the same time was because of air resistance. And the moon has no atmosphere, so everything hits the ground at the same time.
* A clip from this episode is used in an Amy Mainzer Role Models segment on PBS Kids.

Neptune Kind of Day

**Neptune Kind of Day** is a song sung in *Sean's Neptune Tune* in order to ease Sean's anxieties about going to Neptune.

## Lyrics

**Jet**:

It’s a Neptune kind of day

A Neptune kind of day

There’s a crazy wind a-blowin’

And the way that things are goin’

It feels like it could carry us away

The wind is whistling like a whip

Let’s take a solar system trip

When it’s blowin’ this way

There’s just one thing to say

It’s a Neptune kind of day!

**Jet, Sean, and Sydney**:

Yeah, the wind is really rippin’

So it’s time to go space trippin’

It’s a Neptune kind of day!

**Jet**:

Got a Neptune song to sing

Of 50 moons and icy rings

**Sean**:

Jet, to get the rings precisely

You could mention that they’re icy

But it’s really more they’re dusty

That’s the thing

And if we’re gonna sing a song

Let’s not get our figures wrong

Neptune’s moons are truly nifty

But the total isn’t 50

There were only 14 moons there all along

**Jet**:

Oh, Neptune

Such a lovely blue

From all that hydrogen and the helium too

**Sean**:

But don’t refrain from mentioning methane

That’s why Neptune looks so blue to you

**All**:

It’s a Neptune kind of day

Such a crazy thing to say

**Sean**:

But overdrive that’s interstellar

It’s a really fast propellor

**All**:

Now we’re 2.7 billion miles away!

We really can’t deny

We simply had to fly

And though it’s windy here

We’d really like to stay

‘Cause it’s a Neptune kind of day!

Well, there are plants that grow on vines

And most grow out of the ground

Well, I know something all plants love

And I'm very seldom wrong

What plant do you know that likes to grow

That doesn't love a growing song?

Oh, grow, plant, grow

Hey, you're sure good lookin'

Oh, grow, plant, grow

Now you know you're really cookin'

Grow, you little plant

Grow!

## Lyrics

### Original

**Jet**:

These potatoes are doing good

Like an Earthie potato should

But we may live on Mars someday

And it’s 60 million miles away

We must grow these potatoes there

Though there’s almost no air

As we colonize the planets

Man, it’s bugging me, I’ve got to know

Can we get something to grow?

Like potatoes on Mars?

**Sean**:

Wait, Jet, can’t we just read a book?

Get the answers we need online?

**Sydney and Mindy**:

Oh, Sean, it’s more fun to go and look

Just imagine the answers we’ll find

**Jet**:

Come on, let’s hop in the wagon

Dragging your feet will only spoil the show

Sean, you’ve just got to go

You’ve got to go to Mars

**Sean**:

Guess I’m going to Mars

### Reprise

**Jet**:

As we colonize the planets

Man, I'm thinking that we still don't know

**All**:

Can we get something to grow?

Like potatoes on Mars?

## Trivia

* This song is very similar to the David Bowie song, "Life on Mars?".
* In the reprise, Jet is the lead singer, Sean plays the drums, Sydney plays the piano, Mindy plays the flugelhorn, and Sunspot plays the electric guitar.

You're Never Too Big For a Lullaby

**You're Never Too Big For a Lullaby** is a lullaby sung by Celery to Jet to help him go to sleep. It is sung in the episode *Jet Can't Sleep*.

## Lyrics

**Celery**:

Remember when you were just this high

And I used to sing you a lullaby

Now even though you think you’re too big to cry

You’re never too big for a lullaby

Sure is a crazy, stormy night

You curl up in bed and you hold on tight

And every time you close your eyes

Another flash lights up the skies

Thunder makes your eyes go wide

Just listen to it storm outside

You can’t fall asleep, well you’ve tried and you’ve tried

But you’re never too big for lullaby

Cause I am your mom and a mom is true

I’m always right there to comfort you

I’ll sing a song, if you’re green, or you’re blue

Cause I am a mom, and that’s what we do

Remember when you were just this high

And I used to sing you a lullaby

Now even though you think you’re too big to cry

You’re never too big for a lullaby

## Trivia

* Before *Jet Can't Sleep* premiered on television, the song was uploaded on YouTube by Animation Magazine.
* Jim Lang, the composer of this song, cried during the recording of this song and posted a picture of his used tissue on Instagram.

Sunday Drive

* Part 1
* Part 2

**Sunday Drive** is the twenty-ninth episode of *Ready Jet Go!*

## Synopsis

After the Propulsions download their new version of their saucer dashboard operating system, things are out of whack. Their test drive to Mars - usually a simple trip - is complicated by the new dashboard. They zip to Venus and Saturn instead... and then finally land on Mars, so they think. They're actually in an Earth desert, Mars-like at first (hot, red soil, lack of water), but soon they realize where they are. A desert vs. Mars comparison is made. Before heading home, the family decides that the old, dependable saucer operating system works just fine for them.

## Characters

* Jet Propulsion
* Sunspot Propulsion
* Carrot Propulsion
* Celery Propulsion
* Face 9000

## Learning Goals

An Earth desert and a Mars desert have some similarities, but are also very different. A comparison is made between the two, including life or lack thereof, temperature, water, and soil.

## Trivia

* This is the first ever two-parter produced, but was the second aired.
* This is the first episode not to have any Earthies in it.
* Another variation of the Try Again song is heard in this episode.\

> -Face 9000

**Face 9000** is a talking computer assistant, and one of the main characters in *Ready Jet Go!*

## Personality

Face 9000 knows everything about science, being a talking computer and all. He is always happy to help the kids whenever they have a question. He can also be quite playful, in order to make learning fun for the kids.

However, he can be very clingy and gets jealous easily. This is shown in *Back to Bortron 7*, where he gets jealous over the Propulsions using a PowerCube for a presentation instead of him.

Since he is a computer, he is programmed to reply honestly to any question he is asked, and as such, is incapable of telling a lie. In *Space Camp*, his attempt to disguise himself as 'Mr. Face' at space camp is poorly made. He's also not too good at telling jokes, as seen in *My Three Suns.*

## International Voices

* Finland: Markus Niemi
* France (Space Camp): Rémi Pous
* Latin America: Juan Guzmán, Lileana Chacon (Space Camp)
* South Korea: Lee Min-kyu
* Brazil: Leandro Heins
* Indonesia: Eric Zhanov

## Trivia

* He was revealed to have a great-grandmother in *Moon Face*.
* He is ticklish, as revealed in *Satellite Selfie.*
* His name has two different origins:
	+ The "It's Over 9000!" scene from the Ocean Group's dub of *Dragon Ball Z*. In that dub, Brian Drummond voices Vegeta, and he also voices Face.
	+ HAL 9000 from *2001: A Space Odyssey*, who is also an incredibly smart AI.
* For some reason, he is back to his original design in *Space Camp*.
* In the Spanish dub of Space Camp, he is voiced by a woman, but it seems that they digitally altered her voice to a lower pitch so that she sounds like a man.

## Personality

Floyd is a cheeky little squirrel. He likes to eat things that people leave on the ground, including jellybeans. Once, he got into a minor slap-fight with Sunspot. Despite his mischievousness, he will sometimes help the characters out, such as letting them ride on him in *Jet Shrinks the Kids*. He seems to be on good terms with Jet, Sydney, Sean, Mindy, and Sunspot as of *Mindy's Bedtime*, as he is shown playing ball with them.

## Appearance

Floyd is a small squirrel with brown fur. He has a small tuft of fur on his head. He has beady brown eyes and eyebrows. He has a single bucktooth. He has a cream-colored stomach, and a large tail.

**A Star is Born** is a song sung by Face 9000, (and later, the kids) in the episode of the same name.

## Lyrics

A star is born

Way out in outer space

From dust and gas swirling all over the place

When gravity’s force does its gravity smushin’

Those hydrogen atoms feel a powerful pushin’!

It turns ‘em into helium

Makin’ heat and light

’Til a brand new star

Is burning bright

Swirlin’, whirlin’

Smushing, pushing

And POW!

A star is born!

## Trivia

* This is the first song to be co-written by Michelle Lamoreaux, the second one being Earthday Birthday from the episode of the same name.

Venus! (Earth's Broiling Hot Twin)

**Venus! (Earth's Broiling Hot Twin)** is a song sung by Carrot, Celery, Jet, Sean, and Sydney in the episode *Tiny Blue Dot*.

## Lyrics

**Jet**:

Venus could be Earth's twin sister

Each the size of the other one

They've got atmosphere, their gravity's alike

And they're both pretty close to the sun

**Celery**:
But that atmosphere's like a greenhouse

Trapping the sun's heat in

And those clouds of carbon dioxide

**Jet, Carrot, and Celery**:

Make Venus!

Earth's broiling hot twin!

**Sydney**:

So Venus is hot?

**Jet**:

Yes, indeed, broiling hot!

**Sean**:

Is it hot like a desert-y, desolate spot?

**Carrot**:

Hot enough to melt metal, I understand

**Sean**:

So Venus is, uh, not a great place to land?

**Celery**:

Don't worry!

The weather outside may be rough

But this saucer is made of Bortronian stuff

You'll see for yourself, you can watch it first-hand

**Sean**:

Wait, metal melts here, and we're gonna land?!?

**Jet**:

It's hot man, it's toasty, like inside a roaster!

**Carrot**:

Let's see what it does to an Earthie toaster!

**Celery**:

Hot enough to melt metals like lead

**Sean**:

Good thing you decided on Earth instead!

**Jet, Carrot, and Celery**:

The atmosphere's like a greenhouse

That traps all the sun's heat in

And those clouds of carbon dioxide

Make Venus!

Earth's broiling hot twin!

**I'm Not Afraid of New Ideas** is a song in *Ready Jet Go!*. It was first sung in *Lone Star*, and again in *Galileo, Galileo!*.

## Lyrics

### Lone Star version

**Sydney**:

Some people wanna cut down trees

Some people wanna dig for gold

Other people seek a new idea

‘Cause they’re made of something bold

I’m not afraid of new ideas

I know I can’t deny ‘em

The best things come from new ideas

If folks would only try ‘em

**Jet & Sydney**:

Some people run from new ideas

We like to embrace ‘em

Old ideas got to move aside

So the new ones can replace ‘em

I’m not afraid of new ideas

I know I can’t deny 'em

The world could be better than it is

When you’re not afraid of new ideas

### Galileo, Galileo version

**Sean**:

Well…

Some folks say that the world is flat

The edge is very scary

But me, I say the world is round

Exactly the contrary

The same folks say the sun is circling

Earth is at the center

But I say we orbit around the sun

‘Cause I’m a scientist

And a hypothesis inventor

**Jet**:

We’re not afraid of new ideas

We know we can’t deny ‘em

The best things come from new ideas

If folks would only try ‘em

**All**:

Some people run from new ideas

But we like to embrace ‘em

Old ideas ought to go

So new ones can replace ‘em

I’m not afraid of new ideas

I know I can’t deny ‘em

The best things come from new ideas

If folks would only try ‘em

Don’t be scared of new ideas

Explore them to a letter

The world could be much better

When we’re not afraid of new ideas!

### Galileo, Galileo version (reprise)

**All**:

I’m not afraid of new ideas

I know I can’t deny ‘em

The best things come from new ideas

If folks would only try ‘em

Don’t be scared of new ideas

Explore them to a letter

The world could be much better

When we’re not afraid of new ideas!

## Lyrics

**Sean and Sydney:**

Is my planet

Like your planet?

How can we tell them apart?

**Jet:**

So many things to see

Lots of discoveries

So let the questions start!

**Sean:**

What do Bortronians look like?

Are there really different creatures there?

**Sydney:**

Do they talk just like the Propulsions do?

Do they all have the same red hair?

**Sean:**

And what about plants and leaves and trees?

Are they scrubby and low, or tall?

**Sydney:**

Ooh!

And what about oceans?

Do they even have oceans at all?

**Sean:**

We have a moon--

**Jet:**

And we have three--

Small, kind of purple, and dark!

They're something to see!

**Carrot, Celery, and Jet:**

There's no planet

Like my planet

But it's fun to try to tell 'em apart

**All:**

So many things to see

Lots of discoveries

So let the questions start!

Her head is in the stars!

Fearless and curious

With her space dog Sirius

Always in the chase

They'll surely win the race

'Cause a kid's place, is exploring space!

A Star is Born

**A Star is Born** is the second half of the thirty-third episode of *Ready Jet Go!*.

## Synopsis

Sydney is directing the kids in a backyard movie, making her version of a Commander Cressida story about the formation of a star. The other kids all have parts, but Sunspot has the lead - as the star! The kids' movie coincides with the celebration of a star being born near (a.k.a. 10 light years away from) Bortron 7!

## Plot

Sydney is outside, thinking up Commander Cressida story ideas, but keeps throwing them away. Sean comes over, and Sydney tells him that she is making her own Commander Cressida movie. Mindy also comes over and wants to be in the movie. Sydney says they all can, but she can't think of a good enough script yet.

Jet flies over and has some big space news -- a new star was born near Bortron 7, and by near he means a hundred lightyears away. Sean thinks this is so cool. Jet explains that the star is born in a place called the "Frantulon" Nebula, and that his mom and dad are throwing an Earthday Birthday party to celebrate, since Bortronians celebrate all new stars born in the neighborhood. Sean, Sydney, and Mindy are all invited.

## Characters

* Jet Propulsion
* Sean Rafferty
* Sydney Skelley
* Sunspot Propulsion
* Mindy Melendez
* Celery Propulsion
* Carrot Propulsion
* Face 9000

## Trivia

* The episode's title has a double meaning: "A star is born" refers to the episode's movie theme and how stars are born in outer space.
* There is an incorrect fact in this episode: the characters called the nebula where stars are born the Frantulon Nebula. It is actually called the Tarantula Nebula.
* At one point, Face 9000 says "I'm ready for my closeup!", which is a reference to the film *Sunset Boulevard*.
* In the episode, the characters audition for the role of the character, Astrid by saying "Off we go!". However, Astrid doesn't say "Off we go!' in the final movie, Commander Cressida ended up saying it.
* The roles of everyone in the movie:
	+ Sydney - Commander Cressida
	+ Mindy - Astrid
	+ Jet - Hydrogen and Helium
	+ Sean - Sirius
	+ Sunspot - the star.
* In production order, this is the first episode written by Michelle Lamoreaux.
