Need some "Radio" songs

edited April 2007 in Other Music
k so I'm on this kick of making theme cds, the first one was songs that had the word angel in the title, this one I'm on is songs about the radio or with radio in the title. I did a Itunes search and got a bunch that have the word radio in it but the only one about the radio that I could think of off the top of my head was Left of the Dial by the Mats, and maybe Writing to Reach You by Travis. Any ideas?

    One of my favorites for sure. I still can't get enough of Stand Inside Your Love though.. it's just so powerful and beautiful. James' ebow solo is perfect. I hope he comes back soon :(

    oo fuck yeah.

    There's a pretty good Reel Big Fish album called "Turn the Radio Off" but I forget if there are any songs with that word in it..

    I love that Rush tune!

    Thanks but I don't think Rush would fit it at all on this cd, just not my deal

    I don't suppose poodle-haired 80s rockers Autograph will make the cut with "Turn Up the Radio"?
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    Some Queen, perhaps?

    All we hear is

    radio ga-ga

    I'm not sure if you are looking for specific bands (probably ones that don't suck :)), but the first two that popped into my head were:

    Van Halen: "summer nights and my radio....."

    Poison-Every Rose Has Its Thorn:

    "I listen to our favorite song
    Playing on the radio
    Hear the dj say loves a game of easy come and
    Easy go"

    Sorry, for some reason my head seems to be stuck in the 80s right now, but that's the best i could come up w/ on a whim!

    No need to apologize. I'm almost ashamed of myself for even posting those two! :)

    A quick search of the ole' iTunes returns...

    Do you remember rock'n'roll radio - the ramones (and probably like a million cover versions)

    My radio - pavement (I don't even know this one, it is on the Westing CD that I never listen to)

    Radio Cure - Wilco

    Radio War - Iron & Wine

    Not his best (by far) but Dylan turned a great phrase on "Shooting Star":

    Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
    As the last fire truck from hell
    Goes rolling by, all good people are praying,
    It's the last temptation
    The last account
    The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
    The last radio is playing.

    I have that Ramones one, (decided to go with the original and not the laughable Kiss cover from the tribute cd a few years ago), don' think I have that Pavement one though and what record is that Dylan track off?

    I believe it is on Oh Mercy as well as the unplugged record.

    Radio Luv Song by 54/40 is a must
  • boxwine_in_hellboxwine_in_hell Posts: 1,263
    There's a couple of good Sublime tunes with mention of the radio in the lyrics.

    Superstar Punani...

    "First you get a manager"
    "But what does he do?"
    "I'll be the first to tell you baby"
    "That I don't have a clue"
    "We're gonna make a phony image"
    "For the MTV"
    "Hear it on the radio"
    "Say Damn that's me!"

    Boss DJ...

    "It's so nice"
    "I want to hear the same song twice"
    "Nowdays the songs on the radio"
    "All drive me crazy"
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother
