  9. Songs about Radio

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Elvis Costello- Radio Radio

    I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial

    doing anything my radio advised

    with every one of those late night stations

    playing songs bringing tears to me eyes

    I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver

    when the switch broke 'cause it's old

    They're saying things that I can hardly believe.

    They really think we're getting out of control.

    Radio is a sound salvation

    Radio is cleaning up the nation

    They say you better listen to the voice of reason

    But they don't give you any choice

    'cause they think that it's treason.

    So you had better do as you are told.

    You better listen to the radio.

    I wanna bite the hand that feeds me.

    I wanna bite that hand so badly.

    I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.

    Some of my friends sit around every evening

    and they worry about the times ahead

    But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference

    and the promise of an early bed

    You either shut up or get cut out;

    they don't wanna hear about it.

    It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.

    And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools

    tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel

    [Chorus]

    Wonderful radio

    Marvelous radio

    Wonderful radio

    Radio, radio...

    I also like Janes Addiction's version of Rock and Roll

  13. Phil Spector

    Anyone see Phil Spector on the news today in his murder trial. He is getting even stranger, and quite possibly losing his mind. His hair is looking fabulous though. He is looking a lot like one of the Hair Bear Bunch.

    The perfect country song, as sung by David Allan Coe:

    You Never Even Call Me By My Name

    WELL, IT WAS ALL

    THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYING'

    SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS TO REMAIN

    BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS

    AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE

    AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD/ANYMORE

    EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ON MY FIGHTING' SIDE

    CHORUS:

    AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME

    AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING' IN THE RAIN

    BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

    WELL, I'VE HEARD MY NAME

    A FEW TIMES IN YOUR PHONE BOOK (Hello, Hello)

    AND I'VE SEEN IT ON SIGNS WHERE I'VE PLAYED

    BUT THE ONLY TIME I KNOW

    I'LL HEAR "DAVID ALLAN COE"

    IS WHEN JESUS HAS HIS FINAL JUDGMENT DAY

    REPEAT CHORUS

    RECITATION:

    WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG

    AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG

    I WROTE HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,

    OR TRAINS,

    OR TRUCKS,

    OR PRISON,

    OR GETTING' DRUNK

    WELL HE SAT DOWN AND WROTE ANOTHER VERSE TO THE SONG

    AND HE SENT IT TO ME,

    AND AFTER READING IT,

    I REALIZED THAT MY FRIEND HAD WRITTEN THE PERFECT

    COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG

    AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT ON THIS ALBUM

    THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:

    WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON

    AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN

    BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK

    SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

    CHORUS:

    AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME

    AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING' IN THE RAIN

    NO, A' YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME

    WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON'T CALL ME

    WHY DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME
