miamisammy29 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 "Around the Dial" - The Kinks "Radio Sweetheart" - Elvis Costello "Radio Clash" - The Clash "Radio Song" - REM "Radio Head" - Talking Heads "Moving In Stereo" - The Cars "Clap For The Wolfman" - Guess Who and this classic from 1980 from Rush... MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "Begin the day with a friendly voice, A companion unobtrusive Plays the song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood Off on your way, hit the open road, There is magic at your fingers For the Spirit ever lingers, Undemanding contact in your happy solitude Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free All this machinery making modern music Can still be open-hearted. Not so coldly charted It's really just a question of your honesty Yeah, your honesty One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes and endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Starman - David Bowie Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock'n'roll lotta soul, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive CHORUS There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too! Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright CHORUS(twice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Oh, the Octopus cover of Starman is very good! Here's a cool song about hearing Tom Jones on the radio, and basically how he saved Tommy (from Space) and Cerys' (from Catatonia) lives! [tommy:] what did I do wrong? [cerys:] oh you nearly drove me cuckoo [tommy:] am I really all that bad? [cerys:] you?re worse than hannibal lecter, charlie manson, freddy Krueger [tommy:] why are we still together? [cerys:] oh I can?t leave you till you?re dead [tommy:] you mean till death do us part [cerys:] I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head [tommy:] it was lucky for us I turned the radio on [cerys:] they say that music soothes the savage [tommy:] there was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red [both]: the two of us would surely have ended up dead You stopped us from killing each other (tom jones, tom jones) You?ll never know but you saved our lives (tom jones, tom jones) [cerys:] I?ve never thrown my knickers at you [tommy:] and I don?t come from wales [tommy:] still haven?t solved our problem [cerys:] you mean we hate each other?s guts [tommy:] still wanna poison your [cerys:] and I still wanna cut off your [tommy:] i phoned the marriage guidance [cerys:] i tied the phone line round your [tommy:] I?m sick of all this hatred [cerys:] well that?ll be the arsenic making you sick [tommy:] you were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
