Radio Lyrics

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!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

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/).
