...He said he liked to do it backwards
I said, That's just fine with me,
That way we can **** and watch TV."

 

[20eyes]

Oh baby I see YOU on my TV set
Yeah baby I see you on my TV set
I cut your HEAD off and put it in my TV set
I use your EYEBALLS for DIALS on my TV set...

 

[20eyes]

I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I picked you up on my TV screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing

Wicked Liz & the Bellyswirls "Mary Kate"

“Inside my TV I never stop to wonder why” … .also, “some faceless get comes on my screen” is probably a television reference

Take back your insurance
Baby nothin' is guaranteed
And take back your acid rain
Baby let your TV bleed

Mojo Nixon - Perry Mason of Love

You know, some people ask me what kind of lover I am
They say, "Mojo, are you the Gilligan of love?" I say, "No"
They say, "Mojo, are you the Jethro Bodine of love?" I say, "uh-uh"
They say, "Mojo, you might be the F Troop of love." I say, "no way"

I've not checked the lyrics of "gonna put my face on a nuclear bomb" yet.



All that Star Trek Jive

 

[JayV]

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines

I was going to suggest this as loosely fitting because the name of the song refers to an attack on tv news anchor Dan Rather.

But the inclusion of "TV" in the lyrics takes away the ambiguity.

Duran Duran's "Too Much Information" includes verses that begin "Destroyed by MTV...", "Destroyed by ABC...", "Destroyed by BBC...".


George Michael's "Freedom 90" mentions "Rock n roll TV" and "the boys on MTV".


I used this one just a couple weeks ago, but here it is again: Barbara Mandrell's "Operator Long Distance Please" which has "I don't like TV" in the first verse.

A couple I posted in recent OTNs make a repeat occurrence:


Used just last week!

“Blank stare at the TV / CNN's on channel 3”




“On Zenith on the TV.”

 

[Fishhead]

 

[cyclones500]

“He sits and stares all day at his flat-screen TV …”

 

[BCClone]

Like I'm in the Twilight Zone?

Mama gets her box off watchin' "Desperate Housewives"

 

[cyclones500]

So many B-Boys options. A couple of songs we already posted, here’s a catch-all for others, still probably doesn’t cover all the bases.


“And you’ll be pullin’ a train like you’re Captain Kirk.”




“Pull up at the function and you know I Kojak.”
“So I'm supposed to sit upon my couch, watching my TV.”




Mannix .. Barnaby Jones … Columbo … Cannon





“I go to sleep watching ‘Dragnet.’” … “they call me Mr. Roper”





“I got more spice than ‘The Frugal Gourmet.’” …
