Songs that mention the Radio

Domino? I think not.

 

Nine Volt Heart - Dave Alvin

 

Yep, it does, right at the end:
(Hit it)
Oh oh Domino
(All right)
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
Lord have mercy
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
(Hey, all right)
Say it again
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh Domino
(Hey, hit it)
I said oh-ooh-ooh Domino

Well, Mr. DJ I just wanna hear
Some rhythm and blues music
On the radio
On the radio
On the radio

Richmond Fontaine - Lost in the Trees (Featured on KSAW Logging Radio)

The High Country is kind of an Americana concept record, "a gothic love story between a mechanic and an auto parts store counter girl, whose secret love inspires an effort to escape the darkness of the world that surrounds them. It’s a world of drugs, violence, madness, loneliness and desperation set against a backdrop of endless roads and the remains of a forest brutalised by logging. In this story of light versus dark, Vlautin has woven a tale where screw-ups and freaks terrorise the lives of innocents."

Anyway, pretty great song, even if radio is really only in the title of this one and on the video, but there is some nudity along the way, and some Judas Priest on the mix tape too

 

Sleeping with the Radio On - Charly McClain

Sleeping With The Radio On (1981)
My heart beats with the lonely rain wishing I could see your face again
Change the dial on the radio; find something playing kind-a bluesy and slow
If things were only like they used to be, with you lying in love tonight
I wish you'd call me on the telephone; I don't wanna spend another night alone

Sleeping with the radio on it's the only way I can make it till dawn
Sleeping with the radio on you're on my mind and I can't forget you

It's getting late, almost quarter-to-four I hear a knock at my door
Stumble in the dark and hear your voice again open up the door and let the sunshine in
Take me in your arms and make love nice and slow it's so good to be this close to you
No more nights of sleeping alone, no more days with these lovesick blues

Cause we'll be sleeping with the radio on let's take the rest of the day together
And I'll unplug the telephone now that you're here, I'm gonna love you forever

Sleeping with the radio on I don't want more of those nights all alone
Sleeping with the radio on you're on my mind and I can't forget you
Sleeping with the radio on I don't want more of those nights all alone
Sleeping with the radio on you're on my mind and I can't forget you
