K-H-J Los Angeles! Portions of today's programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings 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 cool 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 AM Radio AM Radio You can hear the music on the AM Radio AM Radio 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 No never liked disco No never liked disco No never liked disco No never liked disco
