In the newsletter, the song is said to originate from a (fictional) album by Black Tar, Entrails of Tomorrow. The song was later featured on the 2017 Black Tar compilation TAR-Nation.
History
The song (as "Stop, I'm Watching TV") was released on April 1st 2017 as part of the thirteenth issue of Hardy Fox's Hacienda Bridge newsletter, "Goddamn The Tar Man", detailing the supposed history of a hitherto unknown Residents side project, Black Tar and the Cry Babies.
Entrails of Tomorrow (from which "Stop, I'm Watching TV" is supposedly excerpted) is described in the newsletter as a concept album which follows a character named "Jonny" through "a series of morphs, from a discarded candy wrapper to a broken utility pole. Each form has a unique outlook on the world that ultimately leads the listener to understand that we are all Jonny."[1]
