Radio Paradise (mobile)

I've been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby calling, says "I need you here"
And it's a half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
[[Brenda Lee]]'s "[[Brenda Lee:Coming On Strong|Coming On Strong]]"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars goes down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh, one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called
Radar love

SchoepTone Apr 17, 2013 - 12:20	Used to play air drums to this one as a kid. [ Reply ]
ncollingridge Mar 17, 2013 - 01:28	One of the things that I loge about this song is that it is continually inventive all the way through. No section sounds like another. Great stuff. [ Reply ]
Sloggydog Mar 17, 2013 - 01:23	I'm at 50/50 for the last 5 songs how long can the run last? [ Reply ]

norvell Feb 13, 2013 - 16:22	This is as good a rock n roll song that's ever been recorded, just freakin' perfect!!!!! [ Reply ]
domreo Jan 08, 2013 - 11:18	Just my 2 cents for those that only know the band through this song... If you're inclined, go back and listen to a couple of other songs on Moontan (while admiring the original cover art, not the one here) "Candy's Going Bad", "Are You Receiving Me", and the full sublime 9:16 of "Vanilla Queen". Also Side One of their album 'Switch' has "Intro: Plus Minus Absurdio", "Love Is a Rodeo", "The Switch", and the intense "Kill Me (Ce Soir)". [ Reply ]

Cyclehawk Nov 11, 2012 - 14:43	I thought this was pretty cool when I was 14. If it hadn't been played absolutely to death on FM, I might be more nostalgic about it. Pretty good for its day... I'll rate it a 6. [ Reply ]
Stratocaster Nov 03, 2012 - 02:37	Takes me back to the summer of '74. Good album, too, I used to play it in its entirety...I especially like "Vanilla Queen" and "Candy's Going Bad" on this record. [ Reply ]

Whether this song is good or not is totally irrelevant at this point, I HATE THIS SONG WITH A PASSION!!!!!! I love this song. I tried to get my old band to play it, but they said, "What? That oversaturated piece of garage crapola?" Which was my point. Sigh. BTW, buddy, you need to relax. Life's too short, and there's too much good music that neither of us has yet heard. [ Reply ]
nagsheadlocal Oct 11, 2012 - 06:04	According to Wiki, these guys are still touring - and were founded in 1961. Wow, that beats Richard Thompson's record of endless touring . . . [ Reply ]
TJS Oct 11, 2012 - 06:03	One of the best songs of the 70s, but Golden Earring has SOOO many great songs. I guess I'll have to upload some more of those too. Hopefully Bill will include them. [ Reply ]
SpamNRice Oct 11, 2012 - 06:02	Another classic segue... Chris Isaac's Gone Ridin' with a barely perceptible downshift into Golden Earring. Smoooooth.... [ Reply ]

lshinkawa Sep 09, 2012 - 16:34	Nice combo of Chris Isaac's "Gone Ridin" leading into this. Like it. [ Reply ]

Fred_Hatman Aug 09, 2012 - 05:24	Classic track. Takes me right back to stealing my dad's car, getting drunk at the local hotel and gunning the Chevy through the black velvet night. To nowhere. And back. To a good ear-bashing. [ Reply ]
