The Lyrics
My Ages of AmIRight entry
Gonna go sit in front of the TV
Maybe watch some "Simpsons" then I'll watch NBC
Then "Family Guy", won't watch no commercials
"Price Is Right" is on, ,but don't wanna see Barker
I love just about anything and I can't get bored
I could watch a long marathon of 24
Black couch and a sweet TV that's plasma
Go in another room while my girlfriend watches "Oprah"
Watch some "South Park" them Im watchin "Conan"
My girlfriend's still in there now she's watchin "Martha"
Lookin' at some girl's who's hot and on channel 45
Perfect start for primetime
Chorus:
California , The OC
Time for "Grey's Anatomy"
California,ya oughta be
If you're a Beverly Hillbilly
Yeah, yeah
Watch some "Heroes",maybe " The Insider"
"Happy Days" is gone from TV Land ,not a whiner
When I'm busy dammin' these commercials
Time is gonna come when Im in the mood for porn yeah
I'll watch these shows until the couch here can get a breath
I love this TV to death
Girlfriend watches HGTV
While I watch Three's Company
No more vids on MTV?
Simon Cowell's my posse
Yeah, yeah
The tube, time for "Lost" and "House"
Look who's got a rubber boob
It's on "Access Hollywood"
Who has Paris Hilton screwed?
"Entourage", just hug it out
Animation Domination Sundays
Awards shows airin now,but itst ime for Superbowl
Look who made it on American Idol
Tall bald rocker man,sadly he'll be fourth not winner
Let's watch "The Office" then some "My Name Is Earl"and "Scrubs"
Then "30 Rock"will be last
Then "The Class"
Answer me this question please
Who does Isaiah Washington
Decide he should hate this week?
Will it be Patrick Dempsey?
Maybe.maybe
"How I Met Your Mother"'s on
SNL and MadTV
TV Land's got old TV
So addicted to my TV
Yeah, yeah
Maybe watch some "Simpsons" then I'll watch NBC
Then "Family Guy", won't watch no commercials
"Price Is Right" is on, ,but don't wanna see Barker
I love just about anything and I can't get bored
I could watch a long marathon of 24
Black couch and a sweet TV that's plasma

RHCP parodies themselves (and Tom Petty), but you took it one step further with this TV-list song that's on the level of Weird Al. Nice.
Fantasic Parody! Of a song that was begging for mockery!!!
The pacing of this song isn't easy, and you did have some trouble with that and rhyming, which I consider to be part of pacing, but overall this was pretty well done. I gave it a 354 (giving everything decent 555 renders that score meaningless)
I give you a Nielsen rating of 555
555 channels and nothin on!
nasty song to pace but you did alright . "Who has Paris Hilton screwed?" who hasn't she screwed ! great job 555
Reminds me of why I stopped watching TV long ago. Very good work.---MM
(AGES) Good job here Jack, I actually happen to like Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this was not one of my favs by them. I'm glad the first topic was television--it's a fun topic and appropriate too considering how much variety there is on TV today, of course if I want to see the variety I just have to read this song.
(AGES) COuldn't find the song, but I loved cause it was just so damn funny!
(SOTM) Fantastic work, 555
(SOTM) See above
(Ages) Nice job, Jack! One of your best ones.
(Ages & SOTM) see above.
(SOTM) Look who's got a rubber boob? In Hollywood, I think that they're mandatory now, ain't they? lol Good Job Jack. 555
SOTM = Spoiler of the Month? :-)

SOTM-Good
Has anyone told you that if you watch all that TV you'll end up with square eyes ;-)
(SOTM) 555 channels of fun!
(SOTM) Good reminder on why I read instead. LOL! good job!
(SOTM) I already commented fully on this one, can't expand it much more:)
SOTM - TV RULES! RULAGE! 5-5-5
(SOTM) er, you missed Gilligan's Island and, er.....................no, I think that's about it - funny stuff, Jack - and an insight into your viewing habits - 555
(SOTM) Funny work, Jack, and you put a lot of research and effort into this. The rhyme scheme of this song is fairly tricky though, and the verses for the most part lacked that, which made following this to TOS harder than it needed to be. 455.
SOTM - There's a lot of name dropping here but without knowing the OS it just sounds like a random list.
