TV party tonight
TV party tonight
TV party tonight
TV party tonight!

We're gonna have a TV party tonight
All right!
We're gonna have a TV party, all right
Tonight!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch TV and have a couple of brews

Everybody's gonna hang out here tonight
All right!
We'll pass out on the couch, all right
Tonight!

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch TV and have a couple of brews

Don't talk about anything else
We don't want to know
We're dedicated to our favorite shows

That's incredible!
Hill Street Blues!
Dallas!
Fridays!

We sit glued to the TV set all night
And every night
Why go into the outside world at all
It's such a fright

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch TV and have a couple of brews

TV news shows
What it's like out there
It's a scare
You can go out if you want
We wouldn't dare

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch TV and have a couple of brews

Don't talk about anything else
We don't want to know
We're dedicated to our favorite shows

Saturday Night Live!
Monday Night Football!
Jeffersons!
Vegas!

I wouldn't be without my TV for a day
Or even a minute
Don't even bother to use my brain any more
There's nothing left in it

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch TV and have a couple of brews

Hey, wait a minute, my TV doesn't work!
It's broken!
What are we gonna do tonight, this isn't fair!
We're hurtin'

We've got nothing left to do
Left with no TV just a couple of brews

What are we gonna talk about?
I don't know!
We're gonna miss our favorite shows!

No That's Incredible!
No Monday Night Football!
No Jeffersons!
No Friday!

No TV party tonight!

    This song really hits home because my best friend was like this growing up (and still is for the most part today, in our mid-30’s)… Sure, he’ll go camping a few times a year and go to a party here and there if invited, but the TV Party was always the event he organized. Weekend sleepovers, school nights, holidays.. anytime I was invited over, it was to go the local Ace Video, pick out 2-3 tapes and back to his place to sit and watch quietly. Once and a while, he would invite people out, I’ll be honest… To go to the movie theater.\n\nAnd that’s exactly what the song is about. Upon hearing it for the first time in high school, another friend of mine and I thought it was hilarious because of how dead on it was in describing our TV friend. Whenever we make plans, this is what it usually amounts to. Seriously tho, I will admit that I do have fond memories of discovering so many awesome 70s and 80s horror films which are now a permanent part of my being… I bleed punk/indie and horror. \n\nThe one major serious drawback tho is that’s how he spends his time with his now-16 year old son, and has since he was a baby… Whenever he’d get him on weekends, they’d get to my friend’s place, and he’d set the kid up in his room with some food and a stack of DVD’s, and it was “Okay Friday night, the weekend comin’!!!… Let me know when you’re hungry and I’ll see ya Sunday night when your mom comes!”. \n\nCan’t blame him TOO much tho… When I would come over to his place as kids, I’d arrive to see his dad in THE FIRST LIVINGROOM watching golf all evening, his mom watching a random drama film in THE SECOND LIVING ROOM aka TV ROOM, and we’d head to his room with our movie stack. And of course, he was always expected to eat dinner with the family… I mean, that shows family values, yeah?… And it was always PROMPTLY at 7 o’clock because that’s when Wheel of Fortune would be tuned in on the small, KITCHEN TABLE TV…\n\nAnd thus ends the TRAGIC tale of the TV Party boy… Yeah, he’s only 35, but with nothing but movie watching on the horizon, there’s not much to say “To Be Continued…” about………

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
