MUSIC: Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra, "Venus"

By Paul Wells

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?
