At 05:00 GMT yesterday Jan 3, 2013 the earth reached its perihelion point in its yearly trip around the Sun.

Happy Perihelion to all of you until Jan 4 2014.

The irony being that we are closest to the sun now-in the dead of winter (winter in the northern hemisphere- it is summer down under).

What "perihelion day" songs are there that they could play on the radio?

There is the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun", The Classics IV "Sunny", and Soundgarden "Blackhole Sun" maybe.
