They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Shine?

[@TurdFerguson34]

My physic's teacher said this was the song he danced to with his daughter at her wedding for the daddy and daughter dance

[@troydreamer5939]

I hope the daughter picked the song and not her dad... lol

[@brandonhaygood5286]

3 years later, I laughed out loud at your comment. ​@@troydreamer5939

I love how John Linnell still plays accordion even with some of the keys broken off

[@sakurachannel9624]

He's dedicated. Committed.

[@recordcollector0665]

@@sakurachannel9624 it’s about drive, it’s about power

[@averyrizzolo9082]

According to JL, the accordion had suffered some cosmetic wear and tear. Sometime later after this performance, the accordion was retired.

[@jenniferkonstant5920]

One of the announcers quoted from this song last night after the Yankees/Red Sox game ended. I was highly impressed.

[@lilclerk]

I love the difference in their outfits

The nulear reaction between hydrogen...oxygen...nitrogen...thighamen...nutrisweet...homonym...azim..ahzm...and hydrogen

I'd bet this was the only late night appearance on a late night show of a glockenspiel, accordion, or bass clarinet in 1993, or maybe even the 90s.

When the host is dorkier then the band, and that band is TMBG... 👊✌ love you boyz!!!

[@brijahn]

Wow! This is a much better performance than what I provide to my children, in the car, on the way to school. Thanks for sharing!

[@mobius273]

Great improv, linnel

[@mxliice]

this song helped me remember shit for my midterm for astronomy
i heard this song when i was 4

[@Earwithfoot]

This it the greatest thing ive seen all day!!

[@kiwi4me23]

I used to listen to this song when I was little, now it helps me in school- we are learning about the sun...

[@crimsong19]

This was in their e-mail newsletter! :D

[@u4yk]

This is actually closer to the original Tommy Mottola version.

[@chudleycannonfodder]

awesome. TMBG posted this on facebook!

[@Painfoot]

way to go, valerie!

[@ihrstinkt100]

❤

[@patriot328]

My 2yr old daughter loves it

[@Waluigiman]

Completely agree.

[@SecretTimeWarp]

A bit better than the single version, actually - the bass accordion helps!

[@bonniebickett4520]

Nutrasweet LMAO

[@inaayaayub6744]

the sun is a massive of indagrevise gas of nucela furnace

[@drukepple]

Too bad astronomers learned that the sun is really a miasma of incandescent plasma, not a mass of incandescent gas. TMBG have rectified the error in this song on Here Comes Science. (Search for "Why Does the Sun Really Shine")

[@marshallbrooksmusic]

Seems like such an odd decision for a tv performance.

[@mfk5533]

Marshall Brooks this is they might be giants we’re talking about

[@kornobi_3165]

Not for the first or last time.

[@IronBubbles]

Why Marshall? ... because without the sun there would be no life, there would be no you and mE!!! :D :D

[@jenzahara]

I see Pearl is there.....good memories.

[@babys4me]

MY SON IS 2 AND HE SINGS THIS SONG!!!

[@sterisharms1468]

Does he still like it?

[@Vileplume87]

He's 13 now

[@user-bp3up4fg9u]
