Everclear - AM Radio Lyrics






You can hear the music on the AM radio

The VCR and the DVD
There wasn't 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

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin' in style with a portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

Flashback, '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hangin' out with nothing to do
Sometmes we'd go drivin' around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down
We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn cool to buy the eight track tapes
There wasn't any good time to want to be inside
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 but you could hear it on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say ?°Boy turn that radio down!?±

?°Aw, 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 growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted gettin' 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 from Santa Monica
and 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
I did not learn from the radio

Yeah when things get stupid and I just don't know
Where to find my happy
I listen to my music on the AM radio
You can hear the music on a AM radio
You can hear the music on a 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 I never liked disco...

    Folks today may not believe it, but life was better when people listened to music on the am radio. The world was more pure and innocent. It was better. You can't stop technology but it's ruined many things especially the innocence of youth

    I still listen to AM radio. I've got a station where I live that plays all this stuff. 70s, 80s, 90s. It's great. Only it goes off the air at 6 p.m. Then I have to switch to the local FM oldies station. It's not nearly as fun.

  36. S.... T....

    Funniest song awesome video! I love it

  37. S.... M....

    If you were a kid in the 70's (I graduated in '75)...this really hits home. Every reference is right on. Initially there was no FM, you listened to the music on the AM radio. Best friend had a Pinto we got busted in. Had a Van we got busted in as well, lol. I took up guitar in 1970 because I wanted to play the stuff I was listening to. I mean, all the TV references in this song are so right on, including arguing about what to watch. lol. And we did hate Disco, but went anyway... cuz that's where the girls were.

    If someone asks what it was like growing up in the 70's...I send them a link to this video. Cuz I'm too damned old to explain it anymore :)

  38. D.... Z....

    Why was the "KHJ Los Angeles" audio clip removed from the head end?

  39. J.... M....

    I remember when FM was first coming up, it was like the adult way to listen to music because they played the album version of songs, not the shortened versions you'd hear on AM radio. They chopped up Do You Feel Like We Do by Frampton so much on AM radio is was nearly not worth listening to. FM radio prided itself on playing long obscure songs on albums you'd NEVER hear on AM.

  40. M.... R....

    3ZM forever! (NZ)

  41. x.... ....

    Proof that nostalgia happens every 20 years! (70s nostalgia in the 90s)




    Be ready for 00s nostalgia in the 2020s!

  42. T.... P....

    I'm here to whine that they censored the word "high" and blame it on SJWs and political correctness.

  51. V.... L....

    LOve Everclear. Here in Colorado in June!

  52. G.... S....

    3:07 You must REALLY hate disco if you'd choose The Captain and Tennille over Soul Train.

  53. G.... S....

    Man, nostalgia today just sucks! Why can't we have nostalgia like this any more?

  54. S.... B....

    This video is dedicated to the late AM Rock Jock, "Larry Lujack", SuperJock, of WCFL-AM and WLS-AM in Chicago! I grew up in the 70s. Lujack was the King of Rock Radio on AM Radio.

  55. J.... M....

    Trump wants to party too at roo freely without worry we going hoppy style..

  56. J.... M....

  61. C.... M....

    Big jump..
    Gist and Trow.. Its a Bridge. The Bus..urm..


    Still blown to pieces
    That fkn amnesia if theirs.


    You going 'compkete' again? 3rd time in 26 issues? Taking Don Suparman again? The beauty of the digital!

  62. C.... M....

    "The WAR on Commissions!"
    By Celery Stalks.
    (Sell Airy Saint Talks.)



    I could see the xoncern at the Bri'ish adoption of Robot Wars. I looked for MIT and sea of Tims confronted me. Problem with me sending them home? Maybe a few Screws loose in there.

    You can use them with your Custard.

  63. V.... W....

    Ah... too be old enough to remember those
    times, don't get me wrong I love the modern conveniences, but it was better,
    people were better, music was better, America was better. All that ended in 2000
    the start of things that are now and I fear with all the bad things coming in
    America due to foolishness its not going to get better anytime soon. *sigh

    V.... W....

    Have a positive attitude girl. Things always change. When I grew up they had the Vietnam war, the draft, and weed was illegal! And I only had one AM radio station to listen to...

  64. D.... S....

    I remember all this as a older kid and teenager

  65. P.... B....

    At 0:33 all of the coolness briefly left Art's body and his career never quite recovered. It was kinda like what happened to Billy Squire when he dressed up like an extra from Flashdance and started trying to dance in a video.

  66. C.... M....

    Crappy videos these days have billions of views while this extremely cool video just has over 1 million. It just isn't right.

  67. B.... ....

    r/BornInTheWrongGeneration

  68. T.... ....

    the clip used at 1:24 which brady bunch episode was that from?

  69. 5.... ....

    blazers thats whazzup

  70. M.... E....

    Today's AM radio is just politcs/religion talk format

  71. B.... N....

    This song describes my life in the 70s to the T

  72. A.... S....

    so uh... 2018 anybody? :)

  73. T.... H....

    This is what Portland sounds like

  74. o.... m....

    Its a shame this band still isnt around anymore....always liked them

  75. P.... ....

    They're under rated

  76. K.... M....

    Ha! They even edited out the part where he said "getting high" in the back of his friend's van. I think this vid was made by Jesus or something. lol

  77. R.... B....

    I can relate to this

  78. T.... M....

    Very relevant today lol

  79. A.... N....

    Still know all the words.

  80. D.... B....

    "We were too damn poor to buy the 8-track tapes". Then your money was not wasted!

  81. B.... T....

    I had a pinto and a gremlin. I am 55 and still kicking.

  82. Y.... M....

    listening to Transistor radio till battery went dead the couldn't afford another one. It get throwed in drawer!

  83. Y.... M....

    Still So COOL! 10/9/18 I Still listen to AM Radio once in a while on my GE Orbiter Those Pintos Pretty Expensive now days too!

  84. M.... C....

    If you didn't like disco there's something wrong with you, Art!

  85. C.... ....

    My apologies if it's already in the comments (I don't have time to go through all 639 of them), but pretty good impersonation of Gary Owens at the beginning. I also props to the Jack Lord impersonation at 0:42.

  86. J.... S....

    Oh yeah, AM radio. Used to stay up at night cranking up WLS in Chicago, KAAY Little Rock, WLAC Nashville, WOWO Fort Wayne. 50,000 awesome watts covering 38 states with some sweet tunes. It's a shame what has happen to both AM and FM today.

  87. m.... ....

    Why does this dude look like he's 50?

    m.... ....

    He's looked like that for years. Dude had a hard childhood. He's also in his 50s.

  88. J.... J....

    A M Radio had a variety of music . You could hear soul , pop , or country on the same station . This was when music was made with actual musical instruments . Disco was cool too . 👍

  89. C.... C....

    damn sound good dude$

  90. H.... ....

    Maldanado was awesome!

  91. a.... t....

    So is this video the first ever example of digital face swap technology?

  92. y.... ....

    Holy shit I am so high

  93. Z.... H....

    This song saved my life. Bad trip on shrooms. Good shit.

  94. J.... M....

    Just heard this one the other day for the 1st time in years .....maaaan, I'd forgotten how cool that video is!

  95. K.... A....

    Something from nothing lol

  96. I.... F....

    Is it just me, or does the lead singer look like Flash Gordon?

  97. M.... E....

    Now AM Radio is just political talk, sports and religious

  98. J.... C....

    Born 1965 and this is MY JAM....right on xoxoxooxo

  99. T.... Y....

    When you meet someone who likes disco
