The rocking version is my favorite, but there's really something to the original's glacial slowness. One of the best TMBG bits is when they replace the elements mentioned as being in the sun's core with just whatever else is on their mind. Dinosaurs, shampoos, estrogen, estrogen, more estrogen...
For the life of me, I could not remember the specific recording where Linnell lists off the random things that make up the heat and light of the sun! I love when he does it.
I hadn't heard of, "Why Does the Sun Really Shine? (The Sun Is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma)" and that's really funny.
Edited to add -- I know that a High School report is not the same as current interest but did you read the NYer article about solar storms? -- https://web.archive.org/web/20240227032614/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/03/04/what-a-major-solar-storm-could-do-to-our-planet
