Lyrics:

*K-H-J Los Angeles!
Portions of today's programming are reproduced by means of
Electrical transcriptions or tape recordings*
You could hear the music on 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 could listen to the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio

Flashback back in '72
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
That my mama wanna 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 'til 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 the radio down!'

Oh, mom
Not that show again! I don't wanna watch that show!
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool?
Turn it off!...

Things changed back in '75
We were all blowing up on the end of the outside
We got in trouble with the policeman
We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van
I remember 1977
I started going to concerts and I saw 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
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 listened to the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
You could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
You could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio

(AM Radio) I like pop, (AM Radio) I like soul
I like rock, but I never liked disco
(AM Radio) I like pop, (AM Radio) I like soul
I like rock, but I never liked disco
(AM Radio) we like pop, (AM Radio), we like soul
We like to rock (no, no), but we never liked disco
(AM Radio) we like pop, we like soul
We like to rock (no), but we never liked disco
(AM Radio) we like pop, (AM Radio), we like soul
We like to rock (no), but we never liked disco

(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, (AM Radio) no
(AM Radio) no, (AM Radio) no
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
