Sonic Youthis an experimental rockgroup formed in New York City in 1981. They are generally seen as one of the leading innovators of contemporary rock music. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no waveart and music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands. Initially inspired by the noise experimentationof Glenn Brancaand The Velvet Undergroundand the heavy garage rockof The Stooges, they are known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers, drumsticks or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments timbre. Members of the band have released books of poetry and prose (a beatnik influence is evident in both their writing and lyrics), produced, written and performed in films (such as "1991: The Year Punk Broke", "Perfect Partner", "(this is known as) the blues scale" and "last days").

Cinderella's Big Score Lyrics
Sonic Youth
If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You'd rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis
You really fucked up this time
Your old lady's really pissed
She's not just laughing
She's polishing her fist
If you could give me anything
Would you consider a fist?
Don't give me yr soul
It's caught is an abyss
Here's a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonder lips
A dream, a wish, a heart's desires
Cinderella is a kiss
A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Ome a little closer honey
You can be so near
Mind your heart aside you (?)
Really got no sense of time (?)
Ninety-nine inside you (?)
That I'm scared if you were cryin'
If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You'd rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis
A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near
