Always loved the southwest flavor of this song,all wrapped up in a neat little Newave package.It's one of those rare gems of the 80's that I will treasure for all time. This is one of those songs that appears somewhat simple in composition,but the unique arrangement and timing of this song,proved to be a very challenging task. Just searching through my libraries to find the right sounds,was very time consuming...so after about 3 days,I have finally managed a makeshift version of this classic.If you've watched any MTV back in the day,you will know this tune...but if not...here is the original; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyCEexG9xjwI feel the hot wind on my shoulder,at the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number...I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music,I buy the product and I never use it
I hear the talking of the DJ,can't understand just what did he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio...I'm on a Mexican woah-oh,radio
I dial it in & tune the station,they talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little,no comprende,it's a riddle
I'm on a Mexican radio.I'm on a Mexican,woah-oh,radio
I'm on a Mexican radio.I'm on a Mexican,woah-oh,radio
I wish I was in Tijuana,eating barbecued iguana
I take requests on the telephone,I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder,I dial it in from south of the order
I hear the talking of the DJ,can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio.I'm on a Mexican,woah-oh,radio.....-Thom

Hey! Really nice cover! The 80's feel is here! The chorus is really catchy! I didn't know the original but I've listened to yours first. The lyrics are fun!  Great work! Nono. |

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Schweet! How stoned must that composer have been? Or just fundamentally spacey by nature??? |
