"The Sun Always Shines on T.V." is a song by Norwegian pop band A-ha. It was released as the third single from the band's debut album, Hunting High and Low. In many countries the single was not as successful as the band's previous, "Take on Me", which hit #1 in the U.S. and several countries around the world. In the UK and Ireland, however, "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." actually improved upon the #2 charting of their debut, remaining at the top spot on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in January 1986, having been released there on 16 December 1985.
The song was re-released in a live version in 2003 with some minor success in Eastern Europe. It has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or shines:
“It is the sun that shares our works.
The moon shares nothing. It is a sea.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The gods are partial to no era, but steadily shines their light in the heavens, while the eye of the beholder is turned to stone. There was but the sun and the eye from the first. The ages have not added a new ray to the one, nor altered a fibre of the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
