MUSIC: Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra, "Venus"
The very great Montreal band from the late ’80s sings about the place "one planet closer to the Sun:"
Ninety atmospheres of pressure under the boiling yellow sky
It’s angry
It makes angry planet sounds
It makes a fatal high-speed crash involving alcohol and explosives look like children throwing little balls of snow
It’s Venus
It’s a planet
You wanna go?
