On That Note: Go Right to the Source

[cyclones500]

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s weekly music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

For this segment, post songs that include title/lyrics about methods of music delivery or media. That includes a reference to: Radio, record, stereo, tape, single, CD, jukebox, phonograph, video … et. al. Also acceptable: Specifics like radio station call-letters, record label names, MTV and such.

Does not qualify: Band names that incorporate the above (e.g., Radiohead) unless, of course, songs by those groups include the topical references.

If a selection isn't part of the title or obvious throughout the lyrics, include a reference to the line along with your clip.

Here’s one from the “radio” category to get us on the air. Let's go!

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'



I was listening to the radio
I heard a song reminded me of long ago

Categories: “Record” and “Single”

“They made a record and it went in the charts” … “The A&R man said, ‘I don’t hear a single’”

 

[MeanDean]

They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast!
700 little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz.

Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox

Tell the driver make the radio play, and I'm singing like



Well I'm-a write a little letter
I'm gonna mail it to my local D.J.
Yeah and it's a jumpin' little record
I want my jockey to play

 

[MeanDean]

"8-tracks and cassettes in stereo."

Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio, don't you remember

It's your favorite radio station
In your favorite radio city



I saw him dancin' there by the record machine

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

"After 6 hours of school I've had enough for the day, I hit the radio dial and turn it up all the way."

Daddy won a radio

 

[MeanDean]

"Well they went and cut the record the record hit the chart
And someone in the newspaper said "It was art."

Well they cut another record it never was a hit
And someone in the newspaper said that it was ****
The drummer is a bookie and the singer is a *****
The bass player's selling 'cause he never would have won."

"Right to the juke joint you go in.. drop a coin right into the slot.
You gotta hear something that's really hot."

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
