I'm backtracking a couple of years with this song because the only recording I had was quite lousy. So in 2012 I recorded a better version. Both versions are below in case you swing towards musical masochism. In any case, Knees is back to his reactionary self, responding to offensive music that was assaulting his ears from all sides.
Written: Gallagher Street, Las Cruces NM, 1985
Evolving from disco
music, R&R in the 80s was polluting the airwaves with songs that seemed to Knees
to be nothing more than a line or two being repeated ad nauseum, as if the
listening span of the average teenager had dropped below the five second level.
So of course Knees had to write an opus celebrating lyrical and musical
laziness.
I don’t care if the sun
never rises
Long as my music gimme no surprises
An I don’t care if the
melody’s cheap
Long as I can sing it
in my sleep.
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition.
I don’t care if it’s
June or December
There’s just one lick I
got to remember
An I don’t care if I’m
live or dead
Just drive that rhythm
right into my head.
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition.

Okay. In case you want to hear the crappy version I referred to, here it is.
