What SFH does on Thursday nights
Davey Snot on skins, fresh from court (he’s wearing his barrister’s stuff, no less); the Dimmer Twins (in matching outfits!) on strings. Playing, for the first time ever, ‘TV Show’ at the Rehearsal Factory. Lyrics-for-the-ages-below! Politics is never as fun-loving as this.
We’re super bored now
Nothin’ to do now
Our current reality blows
Let’s watch some reality shows
CHORUS
We got our TV, we got our TV:
TV, TV
We got no books now, don’t read ’em anyhow: TV, TV
We don’t like the daylight
It’s always way too bright
We don’t ever need to work
When we have our Captain Kirk
CHORUS
Spongebob, Gilligan, Flintstones too
Much to see, nothing much to do
Don’t need no PC, don’t need no repartee
Who needs T Rex when we got TV
Great lyrics Warren,
I particularly like
“Who needs T Rex when we got TV”
Under 50’s everywhere are scratching their heads and going T Who ???? 😉
One of these days I’ll have to make a show and shoot it
Sharp minds will know it’s a flip of Bowie’s lyric in All The Young Dudes
LOL, of course the next puzzle will be Bowie who;)
both were big influences on me pre punk days
TV PARTY THURSDAY NIGHT!
Great stuff. Love it. I used to play Beatles and Elvis stuff in a band in the ’60s. Obviously, you guys have evolved much more creatively than I. Thought you were four musicians in SFH?
The first part of the guitar solo was Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold” (the slide up the frets) quickly followed by The Flintstones theme. Where’s my prize pack? 🙂
I was gonna say but yah beat me, I prefer Mott the Hoople anyway.
But man your TV show references are so dated, nothing about Here comes honey boo boo or hillbilly hand fishing
It says something that I thought that was a ‘t’ instead of an ‘h’ in the last word. Has Reality TV really sunk to this?
I haven’t clicked the video – I’m a work – but I’m getting flashbacks of Black Flag’s TV Party.
Where’s Raymaker?
Creative differences.
Great lyrics Warren!
“Don’t need no PC, don’t need no repartee”
You guys are funny!. I would love to attend
a SFH show one day.
I tend to prefer classical music, operas, and live
theatre in terms of my entertainment choices,
but I do listen to Pink Floyd and the Rolling
Stones.
Ah the highly assimilated, unilingual, unhyphenated, propertied, musically inclined WHITE ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANTS that would be Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones…
Floyd are sort of related to the Canterbury Scene which is somewhat anglo/french with more of a Hughenot influence. But, I digress.
Actually, not bad at all 🙂
Nice studio.
