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").

Doctor's Orders Lyrics
Sonic Youth
Take one, to come
Doctor's orders, no more borders
Take one, make some
Feeling bolder, no more disorder
Mother's not to blame
She's feeling no pain
Doesn't feel the drain
She says it's not her brain
All right, no wrong
She used to be cleanin', now she's just dreamin'
She's right, you're wrong
She thinks it's the weather, feels light as a feather
Mother's such a mess
She forgets how to dress
She thinks she's lookin' her best
She's no longer depressed
Take one, bake one
Used to be tragic, now it's like magic
Just one, for fun
Mother's new pet, it's not hard to get
Mother came home today
Wearing a big bouquet
She threw her self away
She's taking up spanish ole
