Channel 19

I grew up when there were only three or four TV channels, no internet. Now people want to be micro-celebrities, and want their privacy to boot.

Lyrics
Oh, look at me, look at me
Look at me, what I did so famously
I'm stuck on the airwaves of channel 19
I can't be on YouTube, it's too mod for me
So goodnight to the Boingers
And Maker Faire scene
to Gawker and Viceland
and A Special Thing

Oh, you handled me for the first time
Oh, I'm nuts about you but we're through.

Oh, let me be, let me be
I just need MySpace and some privacy
I'm feeling my age but no need to breed
I'm stuck on the airwaves of Channel 19

Oh, you handled me for the first time
Oh, I'm nuts about you but we're through.

Wow, that's lovely. The contrast between the vocal & instrumental tones is striking. Love the ending, too, I wasn't expecting that at all.
