Origin and Recording
The band's Paul Waaktaar-Savoy said,
"… we wrote 'The Sun Always Shines On T.V.,' that Andrew Wickham's secretary felt was a hit. She convinced him to make room for it. When we recorded it, we were really sick with influenza. Magne and Morten were lying in the studio on camping beds with high fevers."
Paul actually wrote / composed the complete drum track for this song.
Portions of the song's main lyrics were first used on the unreleased track "Never Never".
The Bassline for the song was performed using a Yamaha DX7. Other Synths include PPG Wave, Roland Juno-60 and Sampled Instruments such as the Oboe during the Introduction.

Famous quotes containing the words origin and/or recording:
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Write while the heat is in you.... The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
