Tracey Ullman

(Life Is a Rock) But the Radio Rolled Me

B. B. Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers

Lonnie Mack and twangin' Eddy

Here's my ring we're goin' steady

Take it easy, take me higher, liar liar, house on fire

Locomotion, Poco, Passion, Deeper Purple, Satisfaction

Baby baby gotta gotta gimme gimme gettin' hotter

Sammy's cookin', Lesley Gore and Ritchie Valens - end of story

Mahavishnu, fujiyama, kama-sutra, rama-lama

Richard Perry, Spector, Barry, Righteous, Archies, Nilsson, Harry

Shimmy shimmy ko-ko bop and Fats is back and Finger Poppin'

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me

Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me (whoa whoa)

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me (life is a rock, whoo whoo)

At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie

FM, AM, hits are clickin' while the clock is tock-a-tickin'

Friends and Romans, salutations, Brenda and the Tabulations

Carly Simon, I behold her, Rolling Stones and centerfoldin'

Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers, can't stop now, I got the shivers

Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter Paul and Paul and Mary Mary

Dr. John the nightly tripper, Doris Day and Jack the Ripper

Gotta go Sir, gotta swelter, Leon Russell, Gimme Shelter

Miracles in smokey places, slide guitars and Fender basses

Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett, Wilson Pickett, stomp and kick it

Life is a rock but the radio...

Life is a rock but the radio...

Whoo!

Arthur Janov's "Primal Screamin'", Hawkins, Jay and Dale and Ronnie

Kukla, Fran and Norman, Okla Denver, John and Osmond, Donny

JJ Cale and ZZ Top and LL Bean and De De Dinah

David Bowie, Steely Dan and sing me prouder, CC Rider

Edgar Winter, Joanie Sommers, Osmond Brothers, Johnny Thunders

Eric Clapton, pedal wah-wah, Stephen Foster, do-dah do-dah

Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, Surfer Girl and Little Honda

Tighter, tighter, honey, honey, sugar, sugar, yummy, yummy

CBS and Warner Brothers, RCA and all the others

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me (Life is a rock, whoo whoo)

Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me

Whoa whoa whoa who-o-oa

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me (Life is a rock, whoo whoo)

At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie

(Oooooo-ing in background)

Spoken: “Listen, remember, they're playing our song”

Rock it, sock it

Alan Freed me

Murray Kaufman, try to leave me

Fish, and Swim, and Boston Monkey

Make it bad and play it funky

(Wanna take you higher!)

Freddie King and Albert King B.B. King and frolicking

Get it on and Nat Gerardi, Papalardi, Hale and Hearty! (Baby baby baby baby, light my fire!)

(Celebrate!) Yeah (Dance to the music!)

There's a perfect more than human gentle words of Randy Newman;

One, two, three; so oh so please, I need a breather! (Celebrate, dance to the music) (Wanna take you higher!)

Aretha!

Tito Puente, Boffalongo, Cuban War and even Mongo

Peter Dial, Alex Hood, Boogie Brass (Baby baby baby baby, light my fire!)

(Celebrate! Dance to the music!)

Baby... Everything is alright - Whoo!

California (Everything is alright)

Beatlemania (Uptight)

New York City (Out of sight)

Transylvania

S&G

Bobby Vee

And SRO; yeah!
