this song is total rip on people that sit and watch tv(or like me youtube vids) punk was in and of itself abotu making a difference. even if you affect a few people you make a difference. this is a great song and 30 years later a great social commentary
This if funny we were having TV parties before this song came out and when it came out I realized we weren't the only ones having TV parties. The only different is we had ON TV.
@nathanss28 I think that's the point. It was tackling slackers who had nothing better to do than stay at home and watch MTV. They were symbolically trying to say "We'd rather you make your own music than sit at home and watch shitty videos. If you think you can do it better, fucking do it."
Fuck. I'm disappointed in this comments. If you didn't realize the song was sarcastically making fun of couch potatoes the video should have at least clued you in.
TV PARTY is a sarcastic irony-laden attack on people who have nothing better to do than watch tv and drink beer! Forget the irony and take it for face value and holy shit youve got an awesome song about sitting infront of the tv and having a few beers! lol
This is not the original album version... *sigh*

Was the video for the song made a couple years after it was recorded? 'cause I thought Henry had real long hair back in them days.
