Baby your mind is a radio
Got a receiver inside my head
Baby I'm tuned to your wavelength
Lemme tell you what it says:

Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...of a brand-new world.

So look at my fingers vibrate
From their tip down down to my toes
Now I'm receiving your signal
We're gonna leave the land of noise

Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...of a brand-new world.

Transmitter!
Oh! Picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world.

Now you and I have no secrets
Now baby, lemme read your mind
I hear ev'rything you're thinking
You can't help the way you sound

Transmitter!
Picking up something good.
Hey! Radio head!
The sound...Of a brand-new world
Oh! Radio Head
Radio Head
Radio Head
Radio Head

    General Comment

    Radiohead was called "on a Friday" because they rehearsed on Friday's. This is common in the university music world. A jazz combo that rehearses at 2:00 is often billed as the 2:00 combo. But I agree, Radiohead is a better name. I think that Radiohead was being tongue-in-cheek when it said it named itself after the least annoying song in the film. It seems that Radiohead songs are the closest things (lyrically) to Talking Heads songs that you can find today. Their songs are basically poetic musings on the f***ed up state of affairs in modern society. Radiohead has a richer database to probe, granted (with all the corporate takeovers that have made us, more than ever, cogs in the machine). But don't forget, Talking Heads had the Reagan administration, rich fodder for any intellectual canon!!!!!
