Zappa - Cheepnis.

 

Radio Birdman - Aloha Steve and Danno

 

"Here in the Real World" by Alan Jackson

 

"Should've Been a Cowboy" by Toby Keith:

 

"General Hospi-Tale" by the Afternoon Delights

 

dang it I was gonna post this but I forgot

 

Twilight Zone - Rush.

 

'Roy Rogers' - Elton

Best song about watching TV ever...

 

The Dogs - "Frank Sutton"



Does anyone remember a disco song c. 1982 which is nothing but audio clips of Sutton as Sgt Carter, set to a disco beat? I'd post it but I can't recall the title.

 

"The Saga Begins (Parody Of "American Pie" by Don McLean) " by "Weird Al" Yankovic

​

Interesting Tidbit: Yankovic wrote the parody lyrics before seeing the movie, based on research on the Internet, yet got everything right.

BTW, he's done a lot of songs about TV and movies.

 

Kill Your Television - Ned’s Atomic Dustbin

 

The Unknown Stuntman - Lee Majors

 

Ugh - don't remind me. I'm a fan of Rush (especially the era starting with 2112). But that song just blows. Not one of their finer efforts.

PS: I realize the OP didn't ask for good songs about TV & movies!

 

"The Movies" by The Statler Brothers
