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").

Corky 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've really fucked up this time
The 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 your soul
It's caught in the abyss
Here's a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonderless
A dream is a wish your heart desires
Cinderella is a kiss
The cold is gonna take you
Freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near
I'd like to crawl inside you
But you got no sense of time
I'd like to crawl inside you
But I'm scared that I'm gonna cry
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've really fucked up this time
The old lady's really pissed
She's not just laughing
She's fixing your favorite dish
Here's a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonderless
A dream is a wish your heart desires
Cinderella is a kiss
