Download the mp3 of this song from the Triple J website.
 
  (Many thanks to Lisa for these lyrics).
   
Adam: They have to sing a song that incorporates the top rating shows of the last few years:
  The Block,
Wil: Olympic Opening Ceremony,
Adam: National IQ test, an episode of Friends.
  There has to be a section sung in French and then translated, and that section has to include the plural ‘youse”. Best of luck, Tripod.
   
Scod: They said pop would eat itself but maybe TV will first.
Tripod: Now we got shows about shows about shows advertising other shows.
  And we got hosts of shows on radios talking about those shows.
  And we’ve been asked to write a song about it.
  And it could be that we’re wrong about it.
   
Gatesy: If TV’s eaten itself,
  That makes us part of its food.
Tripod: And if we’re out here walking around,
  Then TV must have already spewed.
   
Gatesy: Does that make sense?
Scod: Yeah, in a kinda "made up" way.
Gatesy: Right...
   
Yon: So I’m sittin' at home watching the box as per uge',
Tripod: And I see Eddie McGuire about to compete in the luge.
  And he’s trying to paint the luge track as he goes,
  And he’s flouncing round in really skimpy clothes.
  And you have to buy the paper to watch the show,
  And it’s packed with stuff that you already know.
   
Scod: I tell you what,
  Olympics this,
  Olympics that,
  Sometimes I think the Olympics was sent to test us.
   
Gatesy: Yeah, a joke!
Yon: Finally!
   
Gatesy: Crossing to the French commentary box...
   
Yon: Vous et vous.
Scod: (Youse are chickens).
   
Yon: Si vous permitée cette acteur Michael Crawford près de Tour Eiffel. Nous vous Parté ons!
Scod: (If you let that Condor Man guy near our Eiffel Tower again we will go heave).
   
Tripod: 'Cause it's reality, Rachel and Ross are there too,
  And they’re asking questions in order to test your IQ.
  And the main questions are, “Why don’t you switch off?”.
  And that goes unsaid throughout the entire show,
  And the ads come on but you don’t even know.
   
Scod: Meanwhile, we’re only here to plug our show.
Gatesy: Next 2 Saturday nights at the HiFi bar Melbourne. Yeah, sweet!
Yon: Tickets available at the door.
