I DO NOT CLAIM OR OWN THIS SONG. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED! Just for the purpose of learning the lyrics! Lyrics for Good People by Jack Johnson, off the album In Between Dreams.
Actually, the phrase "boob tube" has been in use since the 1960s, and its actually where "CZcams" got its name. Jack Johnson didn't start it. "Tube" was indeed slang for TV, from when TVs had cathode ray tubes in them. But "boob" is not supposed to be sexual, it was (and still is) being used in the way that means like a fool or a doofus. It was referring to the then-poor quality of programming and its constant watchers ("idiots").
"Turn on the boob tube, I'm in the mood to obey so lead me astray" Let me clear this up for you "confused" people, lol... "Tube" is a slang term used for television. The song is talking about all the trash in the world now a days, which is why he calls it a "boob tube" because of all the sex appeal on television in today's society. He says he's "in the mood to obey, so lead me astray," because of the political propaganda, misleading commercial ads, etc. I don't see the confusing part here.
This makes so much sense for these times right now.
Even more sense now ...
