Cheap Trick: "On The Radio"

70s jamaica to thread

jess & crabbe use this trick on not one but two tracks ("f9 riot squad" and their remix of kardek's "i want you") from their debut ep

probably my #1 french house record of all time ... the first one is a sample you'll probably recognize ...

"We Built This City" (I assume this is widely known, but just in case):

Though the song was originally written about Los Angeles, the Starship rendition references San Francisco (the hometown of both Starship and its predecessors, Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship) with a spoken-word interlude in which a radio DJ states, "I'm looking out over that Golden Gate Bridge". However, the DJ then says, "Here's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city, the city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps", stressing the universality of the message: while "the city by the bay" is a nickname for San Francisco, the other two phrases are not, and "The City That Never Sleeps" is a well-known nickname for New York City. Capitalizing on the ambiguity, several radio stations added descriptions of their own local areas when they broadcast the song or added their own ident in its place.

of course it got used a marketing tool at one point! i didn't live in a market big enough to warrant its own version, so i only ever knew the one referenced. lolsmh.

Ramones- "Do You Remember Rock'n'Roll Radio"

Most of the songs on Radio KAOS by Roger Waters.

The first Daft Punk album has that radio DJ break early on, but I guess it's just an interstitial and not a "real track"...

^^Same thing for Songs For The Deaf by QOTSA.

Several breaks in that case.

reminder since they got on streaming: de la soul did this all the time.
