Turn It On Again is the 7th track in the 1980 album "Duke" by Genesis.
The lyrics deal with a man who does nothing more than watch his television, so much that he becomes obsessed with the people he watches on it, believing them to be his friends.
"Turn It On Again" has been a firm favorite in Genesis's live shows and is synonymous with both Genesis and vocalist/drummer Phil Collins. It is also the name for the band's 2007 tour, its first in 15 years, marking a reunion of Collins with the band for the first time in a decade.
