"The Sun is miasma of incandescent plasma"


"Why Does the Sun Shine?" is a funny song on the solar physics originally written by Singer and Zaret. Here it is covered by They Might Be Giants, an alternative band from the 80's, best know for their super-mega-hit "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)". On the same album of children's music TMBG published another song - "Why Does the Sun Really Shine?", an errata to the original one ("the Sun is miasma of incandescent plasma" :) ). Both songs can be heard on YouTube:
