Songs about the Radio...?

A couple answers to orangecat's question about 80s video sent me thinking about radio songs...

A couple of my favorites:

Border Radio ~ The Blasters

Mohammed's Radio ~ Warren Zevon

Links welcomed ~ couldn't find one I liked for either of these :(

Update:

Wow!! So many great songs!

Update 2:

I will be listening to all links... just not until I get home from work!

What?! People do this on work time??? ;->

Update 3:

orangecat ~ glad you could make it! :-)

    I Can only think of 1 since I don't want to repeat, so unless I missed it - I'm going with

    "Raised on the Radio" - Ravyns

    I've never heard the whole song (had to look up who sang it) but the only time I ever hear this song is when I'm watching "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and Bradley (Judge Reinhold) is washing his car and having a body spasm when spraying it, along with the closeup of his butt (in jeans)...

    No luck in finding a link - sorry!
