What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library



Debut album from British ska band. Only lasted for 2 albums in the original lineup. Reformed in 1994 but fizzled out. This album was a top 5 hit in the homeland but not so much in the states. Pauline Black (love her energy) had most of the lead vocal chores who later went on to an acting career.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Black And Blue

Best Track - On My Radio

I bought my baby a red radio
He played it all day a-go-go a-go-go
He liked to dance to it down in the streets
He said he loved me but he loved the beat

But when I switch on I rotate the dial
I could see it there driving him so wild
I bought my baby a red radio
He said he loved me but he had to go

It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
On my radio on my radio on my radio

I bought my baby a red radio
He played it all day a-go-go a-go-go
He liked to dance to it down in the streets
He said he loved me but he loved the beat

It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio...

I bought my baby a red radio
A red radio a-go-go a-go-go
A red radio I rotate the dial
A red radio driving him so wild
A red radio he had to go
