Pre-punk songs about television

Checking out this thread of Songs about the evils of television it looks like it took punk rock to turn TV-hating songs into a cliche. What songs before let's say 1977 even noticed the subject at all? Some culled from that thread:

1. Jefferson Airplane - Plastic Fantastic Lover
2. Simon & Garfunkel - The Bright Green Pleasure Machine
3. Gil-Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
4. Frank Zappa - I'm The Slime

What else?

Neon Boys?????

haha

5. Sort of: "Along Came Jones," The Coasters

6. The Olympics: "Western Movies"

The Beatles' "Good Morning, Good Morning": "Everyone you see is full of life/It's time for tea and Meet the Wife."

8. Lou Reed- Satellite of Love

9. The Stooges- TV Eye

10. David Bowie - TVC15

9. The Stooges- TV Eye

Not according to Kathy Asheton (Ron & Scott's sister): http://books.google.com/books?id=bc5nKrnXgeUC&pg=PA51&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=0_0

So replace 9 with Stan Freberg - Tele-Vee-Shun, & add:

11. Bob Dylan - Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues
12. Bob Dylan - I Shall Be Free

Was thinking the Dictators and Kursaal Flyers, both of whom are sort of borderline as far as being "pre-punk" is concerned, but "Sleeping With The TV On" (title basically stolen by Billy Joel a few years later) and "Television Generation" are both 1977, right? (So probably too late, unless either was already doing some version live 2 years before.)

There's Mott the Hoople "All The Young Dudes," though ("I need TV when I got T. Rex"). And there's got to be some really obvious things -- Chuck Berry? Alice Cooper?? -- but I'm drawing a blank right now.

And (disagreeing with Gil Scott Heron) there's the Last Poets: "When the revolution comes some of us will probably catch it on TV, with chicken hanging from our mouths."

Dinah Washington's "TV Is the Thing" is from 1953.

Alice Cooper, "You and Me" ("you and me ain't no movie stars/What we are is what we are/We share a bed,some lovin', and TV"). I knew he had one, though he may have more. (And this one hit the US chart in April 1977, so again, only borderline pre-punkness.)

Chuck Berry "You Never Can Tell" definitely fits, though: "The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale."

Elton John, "Roy Rogers" ("Turn on the TV/Turn out the lights/Roy Rogers is riding tonight.")

ooh that reminds me, Don Covay - Watching the Late Late Show ("another night, everyone's asleep but me/but I guess I better see what's on tv")

not enough for a number to itself, but the second verse of Satisfaction. The London Years liner notes have a nice line about how the song's two complaints, being bothered by crass commercialism and sexual frustration, were fifties hangovers that the sixties would attempt to shake off.

I've got My Car and My TV by Faust. 1972.

Everly Brothers - "Radio and TV" ("Take away my foldin' money, take it all/But just don't take my honey or my radio and TV from me")

Everly Brothers - "I'm Not Angry" ("I hope your TV's always bad/But I'm not angry, I'm just sad")

Sorry but Dwight Twilley's "TV" owns this thread. Thanks.

Two (!) pre-punk songs that talk about watching politicians on TV:
Randy Newman - Rednecks
Steppenwolf - Don't Step On The Grass, Sam

Sort of:

Motion pictures
on my TV screen,
A home away from home,
livin' in between
But I hear some people
have got their dream.
I've got mine.

I hear the mountains
are doin' fine,
Mornin' glory
is on the vine,
And the dew is fallin',
the ducks are callin'.
Yes, I've got mine.

Well, all those people,
they think
they got it made
But I wouldn't buy,
sell, borrow or trade
Anything I have
to be like one of them.
I'd rather
start all over again.

Well, all those headlines,
they just bore me now
I'm deep inside myself,
but I'll get out somehow,
And I'll stand before you,
and I'll bring
a smile to your eyes.
Motion pictures,
motion pictures.

Simon & Garfunkel - Silent Night/6 O Clock News
