" Dead Kennedys - M.T.V.-Get Off The Air"
Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair Flame up the herb Woof down the beer [click!] Hi I'm your video DJ I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
My job is to help destroy What's left of your imagination By feeding you endless doses Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
So don't create Be sedate Be a vegetable at home And thwack on that dial If we have our way even you will believe This is the future of rock and roll
How far will you go How low will you stoop To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill
You've turned rock and roll rebellion Into Pat Boone sedation Making sure nothing's left to the imagination
M.T.V. Get off the M.T.V. Get off the M.T.V. Get off the air Get off the air
See the latest rejects from the muppet show Wag their tits and their dicks As they lip-synch on screen There's something I don't like About a band who always smiles Another tax write-off For some schmuck who doesn't care
M.T.V. Get off the air And so it was Our beloved corporate gods Claimed they created rock video Allowing it to sink as low in one year As commercial TV has in 25 "It's the new frontier," they say It's wide open, anything can happen But you've got a lot of nerve To call yourself a pioneer When you're too god-damn conservative To take real chances.
Tin-eared Graph-paper brained accountants Instead of music fans Call all the shots at giant record companies now
The lowest common denominator rules Forget honesty Forget creativity The dumbest buy the mostest That's the name of the game
But sales are slumping And no one will say why Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
M.T.V.-Get off the air! NOW

Yeah MTV is really crap now because they always show Pimp My Ride, Jackass, Newlyweds and other crap. They never show music videos all day apart from at nighttime, which is 2am. MTV use to be cool a long time ago but now they lost it. Edit: the only good thing they show on MTV is Drawn Together. ----------------

Yes, MTV was great back in the early to mid 90s...but "The Weasel" was on MTV at the same time. I'd rather have him back on MTV than the stuff they have on MTV now, though Pimp My Ride does have a good episode every so often. And now, MTV2 is becoming rerun MTV. Get ready for MTV3: We're Seriously Only About the Music.

Cribs is about the only half-decent thing on MTV these days, and on MTV 2 we have Jackass, Bam and Wildboyz. The "M" part of MTV sucks the most...

I thought Drawn Together was Comedy Central.

I'll give props to Pimp My Ride and Cribs, but that's about it. Even then, those shows are barely worth catching repeats of, no matter how interesting they may be the first time they are viewed. As for the "stoner-friendly programming" (ie, all those Jackass rip-offs and that stupid thing with the puppets), those are terrible wastes of time that may only appeal to retarded 14 year olds. I'm not some musical purist (okay, maybe I am), but I'd rather watch a crappy video than a crappy television program.
BTW, what makes me even madder is that my cable company got rid of VH1 Hits, which was the "MTV Alternative" of the digital cable set. No commercials, and every song was kick-ass. White Strips, Oasis, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Modest Mouse, even some videos I never even saw before from Sonic Youth and the Cure. So Viacom stopped producing it. Bastards.

I was wondering where VH1 Hits had gone. Damn you, Viacom. First you mess up MTV, then Nick, now VH1! Where will it end!?

Myself, I seldom watch music channels. I used to watch Jackass and Pimp My Ride on MTV, but now, they're pretty lame.
I bet you, in the next Pimp my Ride episode, they install a PS2 or DVD player...its always the same...
When I watch TV I like to watch programs, not cack like MTV...

I watched bits of MTV Video Music awards last night and it sucks! It’s really full of Hip Hop music. Makes me wonder that Hip Hop is taking over America ----------------
