Always quirkly and playfully downtrodden, Thingy released three albums: the acoustic "Staring Contest", "Songs About Angels, Evil, and Running Around on Fire", and "To The Innocent". There is an unreleased third album recording, which Rob Crow may or may not be working on finishing up. It has been on Absolutely Kosher Records' upcoming releases since 2003, but has dissapeared this year.

My Room Has a T.V.
Thingy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once again I am bored shitless
Fucking around in my room
Spent the whole Sunday hungover
But the Simpsons will be on soon

And my room has
My room has a TV
My room has

My room has a TV

Molly intrepid explorer
Princess of local kitties
Likes expansive panoramas
And climbing up really big trees

planes go by as I lie in the yard
But I'm afraid to go lie in the yard
Neighbor's dogs freak out when I'm in the yard
And they might
Jump the fence and bite me in my ass again

And my room has
My room has a TV
My room has
My room has a TV

La de da la de da la la
La de da la da de de
La de da la de da la la
La de da la da de de

Molly molly wake up
Molly wake up

Molly molly wake up

Overall Meaning

The song "My Room Has a T.V." by Thingy embodies a feeling of boredom and lethargy. The singer of the lyrics is bored and hungover, probably on a Sunday, and killing time in their room by watching television. They find themselves in a state of ennui, indicated by the repetition of the phrase "My room has a TV." Molly, the explorer cat, is outside in the yard, but the singer is hesitant to join her because of the neighbor's dogs, who have bit them before. The frustration of being stuck indoors is palpable in the lyrics of the song.

In the second half of the song, the lyrics take on a more frantic tone as Molly's owner attempts to wake her up. The repetition of "Molly wake up" seems to indicate that the singer is trying to rouse the cat from sleep, possibly in an attempt to break the monotony of their own day. The song's overall tone is one of listlessness and boredom, with bursts of energy and excitement interspersed throughout.

Overall, "My Room Has a T.V." is a relatable song that captures the feeling of being stuck indoors on a lazy day. The lyrics are poignant and insightful, and the melody has a catchy, sing-along quality that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the frustration of being cooped up inside.
