This song is autobiographical. Since Cheryl performs mostly evening concerts, she often sleeps late. Unfortunately, there were a group of high school kids who would often skip school and play their music just outside of Cheryl's place.
I love the line
Can't you get a walkman or a hearing aid?
- Your Radio's Up Too Loud
- Words And Music By
- Cheryl Wheeler
- That boy - in the street - he's got his radio up too loud
- And it's a wonder he don't draw a crowd
- He's got his radio up too loud
- Him and his friends been sneakin outta school
- To the woods and old garage next to my house
- Smokin' dope and ciagarettes until the school's out
- With the music turned up real loud
- I don't wanna listen to one more band
- It's a pretty good sound, but turn the thing down
- Guess I never was a big Zeppelin fan
- Has there been a mistake? Would you gimme a break
- Your radio's up too loud
- Your radio's up too loud
- Can you hear me, do I have to shout, shout, shout, shout, shout
- Your radio's up too loud
- If your mamma caught you here,
- I'll bet she'd make you pay a quieter tune
- I'll bet she'd keep you till the end of June
- Doin your rock'n'rollin in your room
- I bet she don't know you been tearin around
- Leavin rubber all over the road
- Past that high school where you never showed
- With your portable on overload
- Are you gonna bring it here everyday
- And hang on my street, and ruin my sleep?
- Can't you get a walkman or a hearing-aid
- It's a dangerous sign. Are you out of your mind?
- Hey turn that thing down
- Turn that thing down
- You wanna be so bad
- Your makin me mad
- Turn that thing down
