Solved: punk rock song, radio-oh-oh

[onelove87]

unfortunately all i have is that one line of the chorus. and it's stuck in my head! i know it's some partially obscure rock band but i've got a mental block.

chorus is radio-oh oh, radio-oh oh, etc. i believe they repeat it several times for chorus, and then the lyrics are lost on me. i've tried google search but to no avail. don't let me down, tiger.

Do you by any chance mean:

Radio Ga Ga by Queen




2nd choice : Radio Radio - Elvis Costello

On My Radio by The Selecter it's Ska, not Punk Rock

Lyrics:
I bought my baby a red radio
He played it all day a-go-go a-go-go
He liked to dance to it down in the streets
He said he loved me but he loved the beat

But when I switch on I rotate the dial
I could see it there driving him so wild
I bought my baby a red radio
He said he loved me but he had to go

Chorus
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
On my radio on my radio on my radio

I bought my baby a red radio
He played it all day a-go-go a-go-go
He liked to dance to it down in the streets
He said he loved me but he loved the beat

Chorus x2

It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio...

I bought my baby a red radio
A red radio a-go-go a-go-go
A red radio I rotate the dial
A red radio driving him so wild
A red radio he had to go

"Mexican Radio" by Wall of Voodoo?

[onelove87]

no none of those are correct. it's not a ska, classic rock, or salsa song.

male singer, also

it's a PUNK song

Ok, calm down... Punk is a mentality I know this


A lot of people have a lot of different idea to what punk is:

for example, to me, punk is Sex Pistols, Clash, Sham 69, Jilted John, Buzzcocks, Undertones...

to some people, Green Day are punk

to others (I don't for the life of me know why) Good Charlotte are punk.

Could it be Wall of Voodoo's Mexican Radio? They sing "I'm on a Mexican, whoa, radio.." ? Does the pitch change when they sing "oh oh" or whatever? Do you remember anything even remotely mundane about it?

Hi, are you sure it's "radio oh oh"
Can it be "stereo oh oh" ???
In that case try this one:
Supergrass - Pumping up your stereo

You're welcome



Solved.

1. Supergrass are as punk as a teabag
2. The song is Pumping On your Stereo
3. They sing "Can you hear us humping on your stereo?" not "...Sterero oh oh oh"
