NOFX - Please Play This Song On The Radio Lyrics






We wrote this song, it's not too short, not too long
It's got back-up vocals in just the right places (in just the right places)
It's got a few oohs and ahhs (oooh aaah)
And it takes a little pause
Just before I sing the F word

Please play this song on the radio

Almost every line is sung on time
Almost every verse ends in a rhyme
The only problem we had was writing enough words
(oooh aaah)
But that's okay, because the chorus is
Coming up again now

Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio

Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio (please play this song)
Please play this song on the radio (please play this song)

Right about this time
Some shit head will be drawin a fat fuckin' line
Over the title on the back sleave
What an asshole!
So Mr. DJ I hope you've already made your segue
Or the FCC is gonna take a shit right on your head

Can't play this song on the radio (can't play this song)
Can't play this song on the radio (can't play this song)

NOFX Please Play This Song On The Radio Comments
  1. N.... ....

    PLEASE PLAY THIS SONG ON THE RADIO .....e' il caso di dirlo !!!!!!!!!

  2. E.... S....

  3. D.... H....

  4. C.... B....

    I'm approaching 40-years-old and I still listen to NOFX. Kids today are probably still having the same stupid fucking arguments about the same shitty bands and what is or is not punk rock and why it is or is not dead. Same thing applies today as it did back then - you can go fuck yourself. The ironic thing about even having this kind of gate-keeping over NOFX is that they are still one of the first and only independent DIY punk rock bands who were able to make shit loads of money while maintaing total control over their music. I can't even name another band playing today who can say this. Jawbreaker maybe? They suck big clown dicks, but if they are still on their own label and making Fuck Money, good for them.

  5. R.... N....

    You have found a 🔑

  6. A.... H....

    Just getting static 😆

  7. P.... R....

    who is here from "the chase"?

  8. s.... m....

    i love this blink copied nofx? blink sounds absolutely noting like nofx. they copied their act on stage? what having a joke ? so a band cant't be funny? nofx clearly ripped their sound from bad religion, rkl and di...they sound e exactly like them bands lol yet their mad because blink were funnier then them?? yeeet they were ones copying haha

  9. �.... �....

  10. C.... ....

    The Chase

  11. T.... ....

    At least in NZ, they have never played this song on the radio. I personally think the NZ public are worse for it.

  12. T.... ....

    Best band ever period

  13. B.... R....

    It’s sad that bands want there songs on the radio nowadays now one cares but good thing is fat fuck mike nevercared

  14. T.... T....

    Stll arguably the best title for an album. NOFX were cool like that though. I mean shit, one of their songs is literally "we threw gasoline on the fire and now we have stumps for arms and no eyebrows" as well as other songs like "fun things to fuck" and "fuck the kids" (literally just "fuck the kids" repeated three times")

  15. G.... A....

    Ma Dio cane che senso ha mettere la pubblicità di gioielli prima di un brano dei nofx?? Cristo!

  16. E.... M....

    Ooooyeaaa Fuck u shit head. NOFX is f****** badass book anyone it doesn't like them f*** your sister f*** your mom f****** uncle.

  17. G.... M....

    Who else wanted those shorts mor than anything else?

    Good morning, 2019!!
    This song takes me back good 19 years. I used to hammer this album along with Heavy Petting Zoo and So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes while playing Dreamcast. What a time!!

  18. A.... 2....

    Wow that FART came out with this video! still stink

  19. M.... P....

    Był mój czas✌🏼

  20. S.... R....

    Fun fact: we brought this song to a college station when our band's stuff was getting played. We forgot there was a lot of cursing on it. The DJ was pretty angry with us.

  21. D.... _....

    Its werid cuz Im a soundcloud rapper but I fuck with this punk shit

  22. J.... R....

    yes play it .

  23. N.... S....

  30. B.... M....

    Bunch of fucking wankers arguing in the comments. I'm getting drunk and listening to good music.

  31. P.... j....

    “WHAT AN ASSHOLE!”

  32. E.... S....

    Congratulations fat Mike for your work !!!

  33. R.... D....

    I was so confused the first time I heard this because he says "rhyme" like "rim" and I googled for an hour trying to figure out what a rim is ;D If it really is rim, please tell me wtf that is lol

    R.... D....

    It's a play on the word rhymes, that's all it is

    R.... D....

    oh ok thanks

  34. K.... H....

    still trying to listen to my music I'm getting pissed

  35. E.... T....

    Blink-182 is pretty badass, and they've always been, but they're not punk. They do have probably the best drummer of all time, though.

    E.... T....

    Evan Tiesman sorry but idk if Travis Barker is better then Smelly

    E.... T....

    Evan Tiesman John Bonham would tell you to hold his beer...but he aspirated to death after too much booze one night...still, Bonham was the best drummer of all time, hands down :)

    E.... T....

    You're both wrong. Danny Carey is the best drummer of all time. #2 is Neal Peart #3 Smelly

  36. c.... n....

    Lol I actually did hear this song on the radio once. Given it was an XM radio station. But I blasted the shit out of it. It was on either Lithium or Octane not real sure.

    c.... n....

    If it was NOFX, chances are it was Faction. Faction rules.

    c.... n....

    I think Faction is now called Turbo

  37. o.... w....

    Sounds totally like early Blink-182 (cheshire cat and dude ranch)

    o.... w....

    Der Bestrafer you mean blink 182 sounds like this

    o.... w....

    That might be who they're making fun of; radio-punk.. almost an oxymoron.

  38. I.... C....

    Brilliant.

  39. Z.... c....

    I love this sonic is my favorite

  40. G.... P....

    Should be Christmas number 1

    G.... P....

    So eager to talk s*** mother f***** Christmas song stick your f****** a rocking your ass and call yourself a rockstar pussy

  41. K.... R....

    back before NOFX sucked! I used to love these guys now I can't stand em.

    K.... R....

    Kelly Riddle I always have and will love NOFX but the older songs are a bit better.

    K.... R....

    Yeah they sold out in like late 84 man! The last 35 yrs have been wayyy too commersh

    K.... R....

    Jay Gee no way not for 35 years lol they were good longer than shit green day and their music is incomparable. Green day is the opposite of versatile and has never touched upon the creativity of NOFX. Green day you sing a long to when your bored. You listen to NOFX you tear shit up wether it's punk ska reggae, NOFX does it green day hasn't and couldn't their songs are easy repetitive girly punk.

    K.... R....

    Nofx wus best b4 ther released dookee when fart mike was still in opivy

    K.... R....

    @Jay Gee sold out?! They're on there own label and they all play Korean fucking guitars FAT MIKE PLAYS A DANELECTRO SHORTHORN

  42. T.... T....

    30 people don't know what clever is, damnit

    T.... T....

    thanks just trying to my music people

  43. J.... O....

    It's got a few ooh's and aah's (ooooh, aaahhhh) lol

    J.... O....

    oozin ahs :D

  44. J.... R....

    This song is just not rocking. NoFX? Man.. No Talent, that's the name of this band.

    J.... R....

    jesse RHODES by the look of your picture your favorite band is probably the smiths.

    J.... R....

    nofx is arguably the most successful independent punk band to date. the funny thing is lyrically they have also agreed with you in the song "we aint shit" and "stranger than fishin"

    J.... R....

    Pretty sure that's actually the intro to DRUGS ARE GOOD? But Howard stern can suck a dick anyway lol

    J.... R....

    Yep screw you mindless pussy trying to look like a rockstar look like a dude who takes it up the ass in prison f****** take Ur you're 10 ply bro.

    J.... R....

    @Rach Ell probally does on the dl

  45. M.... W....

    Ts about Fishbone

  46. C.... R....

    First NOFX song I ever heard, in '93when I was 9.. good fucking times followed.

  47. I.... N....

    I kinda want to hear this on the radio

    I.... N....

    It has happened.

    I.... N....

    When I lived back in NY, the local modern rock station would actually play this back in the early to mid 90s quite regularly (except the final verse of course)

    I.... N....

    98KUPD, go punk yourself. They played this song today.

    I.... N....

    @Bowtieneo8 KUPD, so you live in Phoenix too, nice

    I.... N....

    4zzz brisbane

  48. D.... M....

    Almost forgot this song; Watched Charlie Sheen in The Chase heard this im the credits. Now NOFX has taken my night hostage

    D.... M....

    haha gotta love it when that happens

    D.... M....

    Dutchie M The chase movie owns.

    D.... M....

    Memba Henry Rollins?

    D.... M....

    Jay Gee i 'member him

    D.... M....

    If I found a magic lamp, and a genie popped out and gave me a wish, I would wish for Kristy Swanson from her "The Chase/Buffy the Vampire Slayer" days. Never have I crushed on an actress so hard.

  49. W.... ....

    WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

  50. C.... L....

    eu sou o cara!!!!

    C.... L....

    I translated ur comment and it says im a bean 2

    C.... L....

    hahahaha, he's sayin "i'm the man" and i dont know why

  51. D.... C....

    Fuckin' A :)

  52. J.... H....

    i live nofx

  53. J.... H....

    i live in real life {steam add tourment77)

  54. J.... H....

    yeah fuck you

  55. J.... W....

    No fx decline

  56. c.... ....

    So is this song mocking pop punk bands of the early 90s or what? This sounds more like mid to late 90s pop punk...Its like the predicted the sound

    c.... ....

    exactly what makes it genius.

    c.... ....

    +cjstroked this song came out in 1992.

    c.... ....

    +Bowl Cut are you saying nofx doesn't have a recipe?

    c.... ....

    Yea NOFX absolutely has a recipe. It's a fabulous one, but a recipe nonetheless

    c.... ....

    cjstroked the lyrics explain the recipe...words mean something.

  57. d.... ....

    This is just NOFX being NOFX, whining about their lack of success and shit.

    d.... ....

    This song was actually un a major motion film sound track. I think they are a success... thats measured by my opinion though. I suppose there are alot of people never heard of them. That's what separates us from THEM...

    d.... ....

    +Grizz Frank NOFX being pop punk, congratulations, you don't know shit about genres
    They are skate punk

    d.... ....

    Anarkiaa Nihilistaah They're punk, pop punk, skate punk, hardcore and melodic hardcore. You fucking piece of shit.

    d.... ....

    Reluctant Protagonist art is opinion. I would call it California punk like bad religion, descendants and pennywise.

    d.... ....

    >Punk
    >Success

    Pick one.

  58. F.... B....

    But it's not good enough song for the radio, even without swearing at the end.
    People act like everyone can make super popular songs like blink does. Why don't they then?

    F.... B....

    This song was written because NOFX was getting played on the radio when they didn't want to be on the radio. Hence the "You can't play this song on the radio". Sure they poked a little fun at pop bands, but that doesn't mean they want to be like blink 182. Every NOFX song has a point and that's why they make music they enjoy. They're not trying to be like anybody else, or achieve anything to do with sales or popularity.

    F.... B....

    Blink sucks nofx is like 20 times better than blink is :P 

    F.... B....

    It's a choice. If you're singing about throwing up at parties, you are not gonna be making hit songs, but if you just make it about how it sucks to be a teenager in general, you got the girls on board and then your shit is going to sell. NOFX knew this from the beginning. So did Blink. Personally I take throwing up over whiny teenagers any day. 

    F.... B....

    @Putthatinur Pipe
    but blink is famous for their toilet humor, they have shitload of joke songs with swearing, but they have songs about girls cause that's what was going on in their lives. They have only 2 unsincere songs, First date and The rock show, which are still great songs apart from lyrics, cause they were pressured by label. I dunno, maybe nofx didn't sing about girls cause they couldn't get any?

  59. C.... K....

    it rocks

  60. J.... H....

    Its all just skate punk in my opinion. Just saying. Why fight about the genre of the music when its all so good?

    J.... H....

    The term "keep it real" really applies to all sub cultures. There's always a certain way you do things according to the culture or else you're a poser. Hip hop, punk, dubstep (in the beginning), hipsters (the real ones from the 50's). Often rooted in poor self esteem, you can feel better than others because they are the posers, you are not. It's extremely silly. We all agree that it's good music (or literature)  

    J.... H....

    Justyn Harris theres use to be only 2 gender until the pro lgbt nazi arived

    J.... H....

    All genres have good and bad music. And all genres that become popular becomes watered down by artists trying to apease the masses by focusing on the catchiest easy-to-like elements. RocknRoll Punk Metal all became soft and overproduced. Trance drowned in synth hooks, dubstep drowned in farting basslines and house became the cheesiest music of all time in the 90s (in a good way). I guess its extra annoying with punk because the whole point is to be anti-mainstream. Still i love blink 182 and i think the sex pistols and ramones suck. On the other hand, blink sucks live and id much rather see sex pistols (or anal cunt).

    J.... H....

    Can we agree on an indefinite moratorium on the term subculture? It's all just free shit that no one cares about now. One million coasters/sony Walkmans and so on

    J.... H....

    Hell yeah

  61. e.... ....

    lol basically making fun of blink 182 before anyone had heard of them!

    e.... ....

    Heres the thing though. You also had "sell out" by reel big fish around this time as well....

    e.... ....

    Haha how relevant is that right now

    e.... ....

    @7101998GreenDay Green Day were a d still are faggots

    e.... ....

    no thats not true because they took them out on tour....imagine blink toured with 7 seconds, nofx and pennywise hahaha greenday were all over the radio at that time, i suppose playin sinfields last episode was so punk. have u fucking heard the offspring today????

    e.... ....

    nah, it goes further back than that. especially during the please play this song on the radio-harmony part you can clearly hear the stabs at Jawbreaker. who were a great punk band but really got the brunt of the "scene" when they started to actually sing and released Dear You and tried to become commercial.
    just my opinion, though.

  62. T.... G....

    We mad?

    T.... G....

    if u aint mad you aint bad

  63. J.... M....

    I just LOVE the "Punk Police" trolls on here

  64. o.... ....

    they never told they'd be a punk band ...

  65. S.... ....

    😎😜Skate or die!!!!!! Hell Yeah

  66. b.... ....

    Well it goes off of the types of videos you watch and websites you browse, so i'm guessing you've been looking into some weightloss?

  67. M.... W....

    Chesire cat was their best album. Their first one.

  68. M.... W....

    it's called Grunge.

  69. n.... c....

    YEAH! so punkrock!!

  70. n.... ....

    Uh, the shithead who's grinding that fat fuckin' line that he refers to... that would be me. You're welcome.

  71. a.... ....

    Really? You must have shit in your ears.

  72. S.... K....

    lets listen to the asshole with 69 in his tag

  73. S.... ....

    <3 very very beeeeest!!!! <3

  74. C.... F....

    NOFX never sold out. They've remained on an indie label this entire time. They left epitaph when the label itself sold out. They told MTV "fuck you" when they asked to air their music videos. ANd theyre successful. Blink 182 is the definition of corporate rock. Look up sellout in the dictionary and you see a picture of them. And they have the GAUL to call themselves a "punk rock" band, which they do all the time. FUCK THEM. They can all go shoot themselves

  75. I.... ....

    Nowadays, Blink wouldn't be considered classic, they were formed in 1992. NOFX would be, because they were formed in 1983, almost a full decade before them.

  76. I.... ....

    Remember who you are bitching at about an opinion they are entitled to hold. That is the uploader, who can disable the comments without a moments notice.

  77. G.... ....

    Its kind of ironic having to sit through an H&R Block commercial before listening to an anti sellout song..

  78. d.... d....

    so so true ive been rockin this song for yrs n never on a radio lol

  79. s.... t....

    this song will never be played on any radio station ever and that's what makes it a great song and it explains to all the phonie's what punk rock is all about

  80. N.... ....

    lol "what an assholes"

  81. t.... ....

    this is a work of art, really

  82. v.... ....

    right because his thing says he's from Brazil

  83. T.... ....

    In broken English. "What an assholes".

  84. v.... ....

    he said 9 people dont play this spng on the radio and then spliced some lyrics from the song into the comment

  85. b.... b....

    you are or you're. fact.

  86. v.... ....

    last time I met a nirvana hater she was a disgrace (not saying that your a girl)

  87. p.... ....

    ooooh ahhhhh........BLINK SUX!!!

  88. v.... ....

    NoFX is not

  89. V.... ....

    AKNOWLEDGE ME GODDAMIT.
    Seriously though, Nirvana sucks.
    Why? Easy!
    They are simply a band with deadartistitis. Kurt Cobain was an below average guitar player, with some decent songwriting skills.

  90. L.... M....

    Listen, why is everyone fighting here? I mean, this song is great this is punk and I don't see how some one couldn't like it, so, just shut up and enjoy the music!

  91. j.... k....

    disliking blink but liking nofx isn't ignorance. you clearly don't fully know the meaning of the word. it is simply a matter of opinion.

  92. d.... ....

    My favorite meta-song.
    First heard (minus the "can't play this song" closing) as the last song in the excellent closing credits of the movie "The Chase" ... just before Charlie Sheen returns to the screen, in full bozo-clown getup, to do a spot-on recital of Robert Duvall's "Napalm in the Morning" soliloquy from Apocalypse Now!
    So it's got that going for it as well.

  93. O.... ....

    One does not simply not play this song on the radio.

    O.... ....

    OrganizedMadnes without explaining to the fcc exactly how you don't give but any fucks.

  94. M.... ....

    you cant play this song on the radio!!!

  95. d.... ....

    20 years later and still not on the radio.

  96. t.... ....

    No.....Olga from the Toy Dolls will always be the best punk guitarist.

  97. C.... s....

    life is re-tarted man.

  98. C.... s....

    your a tweaker's jizz?

  99. B.... ....

    You guys are fucked.
