| - Radio Radio is a song By Elvis Costello {| class="collapsible collapsed" style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"
- "Radio Radio" (sometimes written "Radio, Radio") is a single by Elvis Costello and The Attractions released in the United Kingdom in October 1978. The song had already appeared on the US version of their second album, This Year's Model, released earlier that year. The song is a protest song concerning the commercialisation of radio broadcasts and the power wielded by the recording studios and radio companies who decided what songs were heard over the airwaves, especially the more politically explicit side of punk rock. The lyrics claim, "You better shut up or get cut out/They don't wanna hear about it/It's only inches on the reel-to-reel" and "They don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason," a veiled reference to the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen".[citation needed] .
- Song: Radio Radio Running Time: 2:42 Year: 1999 Album: None Cover of: Radio Radio by Elvis Costello Lyrics: I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial Doing anything my radio advised With every one of those late night Playing songs bringing tears to my 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 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 Video: Download/Listen: iTunes Link
