"57 Channels (And Nothin' On)" is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen, appearing on his album Human Touch, released in 1992. The song was released as a single, charting in the Top 100 in various countries. A video for the song was also released.

Music Video

The accompanying music video illustrates the song's narrative, culminating in a recreation of Ant Farm's infamous 1975 "Media Burn" stunt, wherein a speeding car crashes through a pyramid of television sets. The same art collective was also responsible for Cadillac Ranch, immortalized in another Bruce Springsteen song of the same name (from The River (album)).
