Raid the Radio; General Elektriks

General Elektriks is the codename for the French music artist Hervé Salters who, despite being French lives in California, USA, for more than ten years. There, in Berkeley, he released his album "Good City for Dreamers", which received many many many good critics.


"Raid the Radio" is the track #2. Someone told me, here in this same blog, that the whistling song "Let's Go Surfing" by The Drums is sampled from this one. Well, they are quite similar, but I didn't find any information on the internet about this "sampling".

With you, RAID THE RADIO!

Raid the radio!
'Cause we're tired of hearing the same old song
We're gonna change the dial of something new
Bring some truth to this town

Call your station, tell them we're coming
Imagination, is what were demanding
We won't stray, you'll hear us scream and shout
Till they play, songs we can dream about...
Across the nation, dance to a different drum

Raid the radio!
'Cause we're tired of hearing the same old song
We're gonna change the dial to something new
Bring some truth to this town

Free the DJ's, burn the ties
Let the music the play electrify
Bring out the poets, bring out the punks
Watch them give rise to a brand new funk
Across the nation, dance to a different drum

Raid the radio!
'Cause we're tired of hearing the same old song
We're gonna change the dial to something new
Bring some truth to this town
