Outlaw
Radio Guy © 1998 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) Outlaw Radio Guy - he wears a cool disguise You never see his eyes - our sonic samurai Outlaw Radio Guy And I think he's so brave When he rides his airwave - in the sky Outlaw Radio Guy His shows are so extreme - it makes my teachers scream His programming's so wild - no one dares touch that dial Outlaw Radio Guy No programmed playlist smothers him No slave to advertising's whim He spins true - straight to you Outlaw Radio Guy Microtransmitter's hot - we've found a lovely spot To do the show today - I brought the gatorade Outlaw Radio Guy He gives me so much to smile at Mom says he's nothing but a pirate - calls him trash Outlaw Radio Guy Now they're even watching me - that mean old FCC He's gotta watch his back when he's in Radio Shack Outlaw Radio Guy They must think he's so smart How the hell does he get those parts and stay so free Outlaw Radio Guy (background) Risk it - he's got guts dare to risk it Corporate bucks jail the D.J.s Gotta spin discs his own way Cause he's willing to risk it - he's got guts dare to risk it Someone we put out trust in They're just itchin' to bust him Cause he's willing to risk it. |

Title:
Outlaw Radio Guy Author(s):Richard & FloraLee Newman Year:©1998 Pro: BMI Published: Artist: TagYerit with Flo (guitars, vocals) Rich (bass) Producer: Ed Vadas Recorded: Greg Steele (engineer) at Derek Studios - Dalton, MA Mastered: Northeastern Digital Southborough, MA Review quotes: Melyssa Harmon Get Fancy! "We hail TagYerit for their eye-opening "Outlaw Radio Guy", a song for those programmers claiming to be innovative but a playlist that tells a different story!" VR Radio (11/27/99) "TagYerit will enter our first playlist chart at #1, with the song Outlaw Radio Guy. ... the response for ORG was overwhelming!" Barney Quick Indie-Music.com Sept.99, "It would be difficult for this reviewer to pick a favorite, but "Outlaw Radio Guy" is a strong contender. The bare-bones arrangement heard here is exactly as it should be, but I could imagine some other act covering this with a lazy honky-tonk piano, more up-front drums, lush vocal harmonies and maybe even a hint of steel guitar floating over the top of the proceedings. Or how about Tagyerit working up such an arrangement and shopping it as a shot at a hit single? " Gary Carra The Valley Advocate (7/1/99) "Outlaw Radio Guy" is quite possibly the best doo-wop blues song ever written, particularly considering that the band seems to have created the category with it." Ben Ohmart atnzone.com (6/13/99), "The beautiful one here is 'Outlaw Radio Guy'. I can't explain. You have to listen to it. Flo Newman's unadorned vocals spring out from the backandforeground. I can't Stand it, it's so pretty." Licensing: contact authors publisher: contact authors |
