[MdStang]

Al Stewart - Song On The Radio

 

[cullaville]

Hey Mr DJ.............

 

[TerpWomenFan]

This is one of the fun songs I've heard in my life. Mariah sampled this in her hit song Honey.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Very little known song but have a great jazz vibe.

 

[MdStang]

My favorite Carpenters song - Superstar. "It's just the radio..."

 

[Bama fan]

Nice photo finish by @JordyG and @Bama fan on that Steely Dan song. Jordy by a whisker.

I figured @JordyG got in a hair quicker because he lives in New York, and is closer to the server than I am in far away Alabama. It was the first song that came to my mind when I read the thread topic line. Congrats to the guy from The Big Apple!

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I will end my portion of the thread with one of my favorite all time groups. Raydio.

Harry Chapin could really write some impactful lyrics:

 

[Dove]

 

[Ozimoto]

Here are a couple to add to the thread. The first one is an "oldie and moldy" novelty record. Top 40, News, Weather and Sports.

And this is song from Crack the Sky. A band that was really big in Baltimore in the late 70's into the 80's but never quite made it on a national scale.

[fireford]

You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock n' roll radio

When your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl, are you alright?
Tell the radio goodnight

 

[fireford]

We already had the Pointer Sisters version.

This is the Robin Williams does Elmer Fudd does Bruce Springsteen version

 

[CL82]

Ok, I cheated.
[ Creep]

At some point I made you my own music thread for songs where the cover completely changes the field or meaning of the song. Take creep and have a female vocalist do an acoustic version and it becomes a different song.

 

[geordi]

 

[Scud49]

Combo of gospel and bluegrass…

Jack - thanks so much for posting this one. When I started the thread, I had this song in the back of my mind, but I wasn't sure who did it. I figured it might "magically" come to me. Well of course it didn't, but you came to my rescue. I used to hear this Johnny Hartford version a lot out in Colorado in the 70's.
