Trying to Get on the Radio Lyrics


We're gonna try to be commercial,
just like we did it at rehearsal
Try not to be very thrilling
Then maybe we can make a million
No being rude or outrageous
to make you think that we're contagious
No dirty words or political statements
No more recording in our basementTrying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...
Maybe we could change your minds
or maybe we could buy some time
Work real hard to show you we're able
or make a payoff under the table
Act real nice, act real sweet
Make our humour tongue in cheek
Tell all the DJs how cool they are
Maybe they can make us rich rock starsTrying to get on the radio

Trying to get on the radioTrying to get on the radio...Lay our cards down on the table
or make a pact with the devil
Rob a bank and buy the station
bacome the king of communication
Attempt the blackmail of a DJ,
maybe we could get played that way
Give them more than just a kiss
Anything to get on the playlist
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...
Radio
Radio
Radio [to fade]

Wayne County & the Electric Chairs were part of the original first wave of punk bands from the 1970s NYC scene. The band is headed by Georgia-born transsexual who named herself Wayne County after the Michigan county the proto-punk act MC5 hailed from, only to later change her name to Jayne County.

Wayne County had originally begun performing in New York, who along with a band called "The Backstreet Boys" were managed by the manager of the trailblazing Punk club Max's Kansas City. A well known, long running feud occurred in the NYC scene between County and The Dictators when after being heckled, she retaliated physically with a microphone stand.

After little success, she moved to London, recruiting a new set of musicians to form "The Electric Chairs", which included guitarist Greg Van Cook, bassist Val Haller, and JJ Johnson on drums. Her act is consistently known for campy and foul-mouthed ballads, basic punk rock, and image which was heavily influenced by the Theatre of the Ridiculous.

None of County's albums were ever released in her native country of United States, except for three songs on the 1976 punk compilation, Max's Kansas City. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
