Ok, proper clutching at straws here.

It's a song about the radio (I'm pretty sure) and in Shooting Stars Marjorie Dawes sang it one time. Twas jolly and naff. I thought it was Cliff Richard but I'm unable to find anything.

:help: It's keeping me up at night!

Four songs spring to mind - ring any bells?

When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile...
[from Yesterday once more - The Carpenters]

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation...
[from Radio Radio - Elvis Costello]

Radios in motion
Atmosphere to ocean
Radios in motion...
[from Radios in Motion - XTC]

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga...
[from Radio GaGa - Queen]

Edit: just remembered that Cliff Richard had a song called Wired for Sound - think he used to sing it with headphones on while roller skating.

I think this is it! I think you're put an end to my sleepless nights! Thank you so much. I shall check it on You Tube/ Spotify when I get home. Thanks!

Just beat me to it.

My daughter has just sent me this.

because we both liked the crazy presenter on Eurovision, and this is in the same one- take- style.
I know you have prbably seen the original vid at the end but the college one at the start is fun.
