Question
Hey Bong,

I am looking for a song. I can't remember too much about it other than it is featured in alot of house mixes. It is sung by a female and I believe some of the lyrics are:

And now the radio is my minds new video

and part of the course believe is

Rock on my guy the dj after midnight ....... I want my radio I need my radio.

That's about all that I can remember. I hope you can help. Thanks so much.

Answer
Dear Alicia,

You are referring to I LOVE MY RADIO by TAFFY. TAFFY (born KATHERINE QUAYE) was an 1980s Hi-NRG disco singer. The song, which was released in the United Kingdom by Rhythm King's Transglobal Records (both part of Mute Records in those days) was originally a hit in France in 1985 and was originally known as a record about a Disc Jockey broadcasting after midnight. However as very few radio stations in the United Kingdom broadcast after midnight in the late 1980s this reference in the record was changed, and so a re-recorded version called I LOVE MY RADIO (MY DEE JAY'S RADIO) was put out instead. Here's how it goes:

I LOVE MY RADIO / TAFFY

Wo oh
my guy
the deejay after midnight

Wo oh
my guy
on the midnight radio.
Wo oh
my guy
the deejay after midnight

I love my radio
my midnight radio.

I can't wait another day
without you I'm crazy.
In the morning I can't work
in the night I can't sleep.
Now my life is in the dark
deep inside I'm sighing.
On my bed I hear a song playing on the radio.

And now the radio is my mind's new video

Because your memories are revived there only so.
And now the radio is a film of my life's show

My mind goes back to all the good times I recall.

Wo oh
my guy
the deejay after midnight
. . .

Radio plays another song
and your voice reminds me.
Across my mind a thousand times
in my mind confusion.

And now the radio is my mind's new video
. . .
Wo oh
my guy
the deejay after midnight...

Maraming salamat po!
