Man in Hightower Netflix

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

THE TUBE Oh ... the ... Tube! It's poi-soning your brain! Oh yes.... 
It's dri-ving you, insane! It's shoot-ing rays, at you, Over ev'ry-thing 
ya do, It sees you in your bedroom, And --- on th' toi-let too! Yoo Hoo! 
The Tube.... It knows your ev'ry thought, Hey, Boob, you thought you 
would- T'n get caught --- While you were sittin' there, starin' at "The 
Brady Bunch," Big fat computer jus' Had you for lunch, now Th' Tube --- 
It's plugged right in, to you! (Vineland, pp.336-337)


I'm watching too much TV too, but the thread simply asked for this song. 
And isn't it amazing how Pynchon anticipated 'Smart-TV?'
