One of those early 80's punk novelty songs, I remember, kind of like, "I'm Turning Japanese"

It's Saturday have fun.

When the Ataris did the cover for Boys of Summer they changed it to

“I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac”

Reagan era punk rock is the best punk rock.

Glen Friedman’s photos are etched in the brains of anyone who read skateboarder magazine in the late 70s.

It’s not a novelty song. It’s a protest song, like all punk. It’s about letting TV rot your brain. Which used to worry people in the 80s.
