Radio

You could hear the music on the AM Radio (AM Radio)

The VCR and the DVD

there wasn't none of that crap back in 1970

We didn't know about a World Wide Web

It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid

Wanna get down in a cool way?

Picture yourself on a beautiful day

Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair

Just a walking in style with a portable CD player

No!

...you would listen to the music on the AM Radio

(AM Radio, AM Radio)

Yeah.

...you could hear the music on the AM Radio

(AM Radio)

Flashback to '72

Another summer in the neighborhood hanging out with nothing to do

Sometimes we'd go driving around

In my sister's Pinto, cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station

We were too damn poor to buy the 8 track tapes

There wasn't any good time to want to be inside

My mom would want to watch that TV all goddamn night

I'd be in bed with the radio on

I would listen to it all night long

Just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait but you could hear it

On the AM Radio (Am Radio, Am Radio)

Yeah

...you could hear the music on the AM Radio

(AM Radio)

I can still hear mama say "Boy... Turn that radio down!"

[Spoken]: Aw mom, not that show again! I don't

want to watch that show. Can't we watch Good

Times or Chico And The Man, or something cool?

Turn it off!

(Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off)

Things changed back in '75

We were all growing up on the in and the outside

We got in trouble with the police man

We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van

I remember 1977

I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin

I got a guitar on a Christmas day

I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play

Play!

Teach me to play!

Play!

Teach me to play!

Play!

Ay, Ay, hey, yeah

There isn't any place that I need to go

There isn't anything that I need to know

That I did not learn from the radio

[Male announcer's laugh]: huh-uh huh-uh huh-uh huh

Yeah when things get stupid

And I just don't know

Where to find my happy

I listen to the music

On the AM Radio (AM Radio)

You could hear the music

On the AM Radio (AM Radio)

You could hear the music

On the AM Radio (Am Radio, Am Radio)

I like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...I like soul

I like rock

But I never liked disco

(AM Radio, AM Radio)

I like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...I like soul

I like rock

But I never liked disco

(AM Radio, AM Radio)

We like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...We like soul

We like to rock

But we never liked disco

(AM Radio, AM Radio)

We like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...We like soul

We like to rock

But we never liked disco

(AM Radio, AM Radio)

We like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...We like soul

We like to rock

But we never liked disco... No!

(AM Radio, AM Radio)

No, I never liked disco (AM Radio)

No, I never liked disco (AM Radio)
