One of my favorites by the Boss. The hard driving beat marches up and down your spine making your head bob and your ass shake.
I love the lyrics, "I came home from work and switched on channel 5. There was a pretty little girl looking straight in to my eyes. I watched as she wiggled back and forth across the screen. She didn't get me excited she just made me feel mean".
It's a total rejection of the "sex sells" philosophy. Hot women are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere on your televisions and in your magazines. The author is tired of being manipulated by something as cheap and superficial as physical beauty and he's pissed off. A refreshing perspective to say the least.
The rest of the song continues the themes of frustration and anger Bruce is experiencing at the double standards and hypocrisy in the modern world. Very similar to the Stones, "Satisfaction", both in tone and attitude.

One of Springsteen's best rockers for sure.
