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:
“For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
