Now That's What I Call Music! - AM Radio lyrics

"~KHJ Los Angeles!~ Portions of the day's programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings."

You can hear the music on the 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 walkin' in style with a portable CD player

No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio

Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

Flashback, '72

Another summer in the neighborhood

Hangin' out with nothing to do

Sometmes we'd go drivin' around

In my sister's Pinto

Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station

We were too damn cool to buy the eight track tapes

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

My mama wanna 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

Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

I can still hear Mama say “Boy turn that radio down!”

“Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don't wanna watch that show! Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? 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 gettin' 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 Christmas day

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

Teach me to play...

There isn't any place that I need to go

There isn't anything that I need to know

I did not learn from the radio

Yeah when things get stupid and I just don't know

Where to find my happy

I listen to my music on the AM radio

You can hear the music on a AM radio

You can hear the music on a AM radio

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco

We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco...

No I never liked disco...
