What's your favorite song with "Radio" in the title?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?
"Radio"... it's not just the name of a Cuba Gooding Jr. movie.
Back in the day, the radio provided the premiere way to learn about new music. Before the algorithm took over, songs were specifically selected by DJs. Or, in the case of Frank Sinatra, the songs were specifically selected by the mob, lest something terrible happen to the DJ's knees.
Regardless, let's honor the proto-streaming service with a poll dedicated to songs with "Radio" in the title. Let us know if we missed your favorite in the comments section below!

Turn Up the Radio, by Autograph. Great 80's song.
Apparently most of you have never heard Guerilla Radio.
Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me) by Reunion, sung by Joey Levine, who also sang the hits for Ohio Express (Chewy, Chewy and Yummy Yummy Yummy).
Turn Your Radio On - Ray Stevens...... Had to youtube it because I've not even heard it for many years - like over 20? OMG...brought a tear to my eye. Thought about Mom Dad and my brothers who are gone now. So glad I did it. Brought back many memories of family sing alongs while I played the organ Gramma got me and that she loved so well too. Was a big deal to me. Sometimes Daddy would play his guitar - he was pretty good, but an auto wreck killed his ability to play as he once did. Well, that did it.....I'm such a softee lol.....thank you MeTV! What wonderful memories.....
Radio Free Albemuth, the Stu Hamm veersion.
I can't believe the song "Radio(active)" by The Firm (a.k.a. Bad Company) wasn't listed here, or the Van Morrison song "On the Radio"... could we have some sort of conspiracy going on? :)

Life is a Rock, But the Radio Rolled Me by Reunion is my favorite.
Radio Lovers - George Jones
Also "The Other Side of the Radio" by Chris Rice
100% similar (-:
Video Killed the radio star is my favorite on the list but A.M. Radio by everclear is my personal choice. How is it not on the main list? It's a little more recent but all about the good ol' days including many samples of old TV shows. Seriously, Selector? Hole?
I chose On The Radio because Carrie sang it during karaoke on an episode of King of Queens
Louder than the Radio - Delirous?
Another great song not included is "On Your Radio" by Joe Jackson! Fun Fact: this month both he & Elvis Costello turned 70!
Not one of his better known songs, but I love "Late Nite Radio" by John Denver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL7lePlfrxI
Turn up the radio by Autograph
Forgot about that one
My 2nd choice would be any of the 3 hit songs that are currently getting double-digit figures on the percentages. But my favorite "Radio" song is one that barely got into the top 40 back in 1989: "Radio Romance"!
My favorite is Video Killed the Radio Star. I always like Trevor Horn especially when he did experimental stuff as "Art of Noise".
My favorite song 🎵 is The Buggles “Video Killed the Radio Star.” It’s an 80’s New Wave classic, and first ever MTV video.
