I'd almost say the same about the Earth, recently

Sure, but that's not a TMBG song :P

Had to look them up, I'm not familiar. And I won't be after the song I heard 😒

If the song you listened to was "Why Does the Sun Shine," you should know they didn't actually write that one (it's from a 50's educational record they liked as kids) and it's not very representative of their ouvre. They've even released a follow-up track ("Why does the sun really shine?") which corrects a lot of that one. It starts with the line "The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma, the sun's not simply made out of gas, no no!"

Fantastic band from the 90's, also responsible for The music of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

I don't think we got that show in my country but I could be mistaken.

No shame! Even if you had, and English wasn't the primary language, it's possible that localization would have changed the music.
