Everything Went Black (1982) |
TV Party was a 7" EP released by Black Flag in July 1982 on SST Records. The sardonic lyrics of the lead track describe a group of friends who have nothing better to do than watch TV and have some beers. TV-watching is attacked as breeding stupidity and the names of several TV-shows like That's Incredible! and Hill Street Blues that were popular during the recording of the song are called out in the lyrics.
This song was included in the soundtrack of the movie Repo Man. A cover of it was on an episode of Futurama.
