That is the original version, or at least the audio is. TMBG covered it (in the same vein as "Int The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle", "Istanbul" and many others).
This recording is by my father, who recorded a very successful set of science records in the late 50s, early 60s. I love this! But where are those royalties, Mr. Sting??!!
wow, your Dad did that originally? That's awesome - I love They Might Be Giant's version of it - very faithful to the original (this is the first time I've heard the original). What else did he do?
i aways think dting is hot for a old guy. but here he looks kinde like my father on pictures of 10 years ago

Sting's OK, but I hope he is aware that the Sun is actually a miasma of incandescent plasma.

Very cool. What inspired Sting to do this? Was this for someone's show or something?
bigneba 3 years ago
He is lip synching a DOE song from the 1950's
It has also been covered bt They Might BE Giants (The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)

He didn't actually sing it so maybe there aren't any royalties involved. I don't think I could get to that "yo-ho" though.
