Selezione musicale #30 – Wall Of Woodoo Mexican Radio

I Wall Of Woodoo sono stati un gruppo di notevole spicco e ottimi interpreti della new wave americana della fine degli anni ’80. Californiani, avevano in Stan Ridgway il front man e in Mexican Radio il brano di maggior successo. Ridgway seguì poi la carriera di solista realizzando anche colonne sonore per il cinema.

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
Turn the switch and check the number
Leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
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 radio

I dial it in and 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 radio

I wish I was in Tiajuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I’d 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 border
I hear the talking of the dj
Can’t understand just what does he say?

Radio radio…
