Do the Television was first written over 10 years ago for Scissor Sisters third album and the band played a version at a surprise show in New York. As recording progressed the band became unhappy with the tunes they working on and ditched most of them.

Shears recently revisited the tune, went back to the beginning and re-wrote it from scratch.

Take a listen to Jake Shears new offering.
