Lyrics
PONG
We were cavemen
playing Pong
Till Jaye P. Morgan banged a gong
Billie Jean King
beat Bobby Riggs
Killing-all-those male chauvinist-pigs
Son of Sam
came along
So Levon sang the Band’s last song
Peter Frampton came alive
Nadia couldn’t be deprived
And Concordes tore right through the sky
(Bye bye)
Everyone’s invited
To join in on this song
All love’s unrequited
Every game is Pong
We were trading
Baseball cards
While DDT rained in our yards
The Poseidon
Flipped upside down
L.A. collapsed in Sensurround
Squeaky Fromme blew her one shot
Gerald Ford fell down a lot
Patty Hearst finally got caught
(Bye bye)
Everyone’s invited
To join in on this song
All love’s unrequited
Every game is Pong
New York City went flat broke
Brody said we need a bigger boat
Cheech and Chong went up in smoke
(Bye, bye)
Everyone’s invited
To join in on this song
All love’s unrequited
Every game is Pong

TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing.
