Not that wackadoodle. Heating caused by tidal friction of Jupiter's moon Io allows it to have cryovulcanism.

"...[T]here is general agreement that the cause of the heat as manifested in Io's many volcanoes is tidal heating from the pull of gravity from Jupiter and its moon Europa...."

In proportion to the size of the Earth, our moon is the biggest in the Solar System (1/6th the mass).

We are almost a double planet.
