about

Nowadays...everything sucks. TV, video games, music. Sure, there are plenty of good shows, games, and tunes out there, but there's also the fair share of Grade A crap as well. What can you do about it? It's quite simple, really. And, as it turns out, quite catchy too, as it's a parody of Taylor Swift's current hit, "Shake It off"

lyrics

I stay up too late
to avoid the shows I hate.
cause TV is so lame, mmm-mmm
The shows are all the same, mmm-mmm

There's shows with Bobby Flay, (heh heh)
Honey Booboo is a pain.
and people losing weight, mmm-mmm
it’s more than I can take, mmm-mmm

It’s like a curse and
I can’t stop, won’t stop surfing.
It’s like I got Don Pardo
in my mind
saying, “we’re gonna be right back."

Cause the Nielson's gonna rate, rate, rate, rate, rate.
but the shows aren’t all that great, great, great, great, great.
and I’m sure I’m tempting fate, fate, fate, fate, fate
when I turn it off, turn it off.
QVC is gonna pray, pray, pray, pray, prey
That I'll buy another shake, shake, shake, shake weight.
Think I need to take a break, break, break, break, break
so I’ll turn it off, turn it off.

I turn on my PC
Or my Playstation 3
And the boredom follows me, mmm-mmm
Can’t escape monotony, mmm-mmm

I'm racing on my own (racing on my own)
Or removing swords from stones (pulling swords from stones)
I’m punching all these hoes, mmm-mmm
In Grand Theft Auto, mmm-mmm

On my computer
I play first person shooters
It's like I got this preset
In my mind
Saying, "buy Madden every year."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the gamers gonna game, game, game, game, game, game
But every year it’s all the same, same, same, same, same
So I turn it off, I turn it off
‘Cause the Shooters gonna shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
And the looters gonna loot, loot, loot, loot, loot
Think it’s time that I reboot, boot, boot, boot, boot
Gonna turn it off, turn it off

Turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off

[Spoken]Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the malaize of the yearly game releases, sitcoms and reality TV shows,
You could've been getting annoyed by pop mu-sic.

This exec bought some sick music
He's like "Oh, my god! You should hear this band!”
And the pre-teen girl with the ice-cream swirl
Begs her parents to buy it, tho it’s bland, bland, bland

Yeah ohhh

All the singers gonna sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
‘Cause they’re the hottest thing, thing, thing, thing, thing (they’re the hottest thing)
And this earworm’s gonna sting, sting, sting, sting, sting
So I turn it off, I turn it off
Think it’s time that I flee, flee, flee, flee, flee (mmmm)
Time to pack it up and leave, leave, leave, leave, leave (I'll leave, I'll leave, I'll leave)
Maybe live among the trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees
Time to turn it off, turn it off

Turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off

Turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off (I've got to),
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off,
I, I, I turn it off, I turn it off
