I love the radio
Takes me far as I can go
Down the PCH
I love the radio
'Specially maybe, oh,
Everything they play
I love the radio
I love the radio
I love the radio-o-whoa
I love the radio-io-io
I love the radio
Can't help but let it show
When I'm on my feet
Everybody, sing along
Grab your body
Groove it home
To an FM beat
I love the radio
I love the radio
I love the radio-o-whoa
I love the radio-io-io
Put that record on
Turn up my favorite song (hey!)
Put that record on
Turn up my favorite song (radio!)
Put that record on
Turn up my favorite song (hey!)
Put that record on
Turn up my favorite song
Yeah-oh!
Yeah-oh-whoah-oh!
I love the radio
Since I was a baby, yo
It's been in my ear
If I work really hard
Maybe one day in my car
I'll turn it on and hear:
I love the radio
I love the radio
I love the radio-o-whoa
I love the radio-io-io
The radio-io-io
The radio-io-io
I love the radio!
Takes me far as I can go
Down the PCH
I love the radio
'Specially maybe, oh,
Everything they play
I love the radio
I love the radio-o-whoa
I love the radio-io-io
Can't help but let it show
When I'm on my feet
Everybody, sing along
Grab your body
Groove it home
To an FM beat
I love the radio
I love the radio-o-whoa
I love the radio-io-io
Turn up my favorite song (hey!)

The meaning of this song is fairly simple enough. Probably autobiographical, since VETTE is LA-based, A Cali girl loves the radio and someday wants to hear her own songs on the radio, possibly this song itself. 'Radio' is very well-produced, simplistic, and catchy, and would have been incredibly radio-friendly, say, ten or so years ago, during that wave of California pop-rock. I could imagine hearing this on the FM very well anywhere from 1997 to 2002, between Sugar Ray and Smash Mouth.
Notes: 'PCH' is 'Pacific Coast Highway' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_1#Orange_County) and is mentioned by many bands in their music, including Courtney Love (http://www.songmeanings.net/artist/view/songs/137438960671/) and Hole (http://www.songmeanings.net/artist/view/songs/1244/), the Ataris (http://www.songmeanings.net/artist/view/songs/337/), Shwayze (http://www.songmeanings.net/artist/view/songs/137438978722/), and Tom Petty (http://www.songmeanings.net/artist/view/songs/501/).
