You can hear the music
Of the AM Radio
The VCR and the DVD
There was 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
want to get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walking in style with a portable CD player
No you'd listen to the music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
Yeah you could hear the music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
Flashback, seventy-two
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hanging out with nothing to do
Sometimes we go driving around
In my sister's pinto
Cruising with the windows rolled down
We listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor
To buy the eight track tape
There wasn't any good time
To want to be inside
My mama want to 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 till you could hear it on the
AM Radio AM Radio
Yeah you could hear the music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
I can still hear Mama say
Boy turn that radio down!
Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don't want to watch that show! Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off!
Things changed back in seventy-five
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted getting 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 to
Santa Monica to 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
That I did not learn on the radio
Everything gets stupid and I just don't know
where to find my happy I listen to my music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
You can hear the music on the

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

it's all about nostalga. he's talking about growing up in the 70s. even though he had a fucked up childhood, he still had good times back in the day.
I love this song! Not just nostalgic but also good music.
[Edit: wrong statement]
i love this song. to me, everclear can do no wrong.
Now the AM Radio is home to the likes of Rush Limbaugh...what the hell happened?
It's definitely obvious what this is about. Growing up in the seventies without all the computers and CD's and technological crap we have today and still having a great time. It reminds me of my own childhood. I remember my friend and I sittin' out on the sidewalk with a box of old junk trying to sell it for an extra buck and listening to the radio. I think I owned like one CD then. I remember kicking it in the summertime sunshine, going down to the creek with my dog and my friend and when I started going to concerts. It was good times back before the IPod and shiznit. Anybody else remember the good ol' days? lol
I believe this is a song about Art's childhood growing up and the music at that time.
Yep, nostalgia for the less technological 70's, before the disco era, and back when music was music.
It talks about how kids of the older generations made due without all of the technological advances that we have available to us today.
aint it kinda obvious wot this song is about? hello!
you are right Macca its REALLY obvious what that song is about, i like it
