Default Songs About Television
Louis "Grandpa" Jones - TV Blues

Released in 1952, when a lot of homes in the US were just beginning to get TV sets, this song is a cautionary tale: the new TV the protagonist buys disrupts his household when all his wife and kids want to do is watch it.

The photo in the video is a rare one, showing Jones without his "Grandpa" makeup.
