about

By the end of the 1980s it looked like MTV would rule the world. Then The Real World turned everything around and made reality even more unreal than music videos.

lyrics

Girls want to be on MTV
Three-minute queens of the screen
Dancing with Bruce or raped by Dee
As long as they get on MTV

CHORUS:
MTV Girl
MTV Girl
MTV Girl
MTV Girl

Boys want a red ZZ Top car
MTV girls only like MTV stars
Gotta play the game to be cool
Video games for video dames

And the boys think they got the girl
'Cause they got the coolest car
Girls think the boys are dumb
They want a superstar
Boys will say anything
Even try their worn out lines
Girls -- they don't go for that
They've got other things in mind

CHORUS
