    I was driving through the night
    Into an endless tunnel of fog
    When it dawned on me something was wrong
    I was in a trance, hypnotized
    Bored beyond belief
    I was listening to the same old song
    I know every lick, every word
    Every nuance
    I'm on first name terms with the crew
    But I'd better get used to this poop du jour
    Sure as hell they won't play anything new
    Oh yes I love you really
    Classic Rock Radio
    Oh my dear it's time for bed
    Time for you to go
    Everyone is asleep
    The pirates took to water, stole the charts
    But sadly that didn't go down well with those upstairs
    Who require loyalty
    The establishment considered
    That the uncontrolled appreciation of music
    Was a danger to royalty
    The mighty empire roared
    As Cash 'n' Everett on the high seas
    Looked like they'd get blown out of the water
    They did of course eventually come ashore
    As meek as mice or to be more accurate
    As lambs to the slaughter
    Oh yes I love you really
    I stand to attention
    Oh Fanny, I love you dearly
    Something else I should mention?
    You sweet thing
    Let's not talk about MTV
    I don't even want to start
    I want to take a look at Classic Rock Radio
    We're talking about the state of the art
    Mr Grover 'n' Mr Gillian
    You musta made a million
    The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
    Could you tell us all about it
    Keep it short and use my version
    Or everyone out there'll think I'm a liar
    We can speak about Bananas for one second
    Just because I understand
    You have to get them off your chest
    But in the meantime while your talking
    Could you do some more of these here ID's
    And then this station might maintain some interest
    Oh yes I love you dearly
    But why do you exist?
    Oh yes I love you really
    Is there something that I missed?

    I just realised there aren't enough songs that criticise the shallowness of MTV

      this song is about the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which gave us shitty hate radio and classic rock radio, rap MTV and foxnews
