I can't believe this thread got so far and no-one has mentioned "Our Radio Rocks" by PJ & Duncan!

Also, the turgid crap-fest that was "Radio Africa" by Latin Quarter.

How about where Radio isn't in the title, but prevalent in the song?

So I can have "Find my Love" by Fairground Attraction and "Stay" by Lisa Loeb which both popped into my head whilst thinking about this?

i once found a mysterious unmarked tape with a whole bunch of songs with the word "Radio" in them. A lot of the songs I hadn't even heard before. It just popped out of nowhere.

No one mentions Spoon's Car Radio, perhaps the best 90 second pop song ever?
Radio Silents by Young Marble Giants? Radio by Stretford (good song), Turn Your Radio Off and Our Radios Ourselves by Christal Methodists?
