"Night falls, I’m all alone, getting away from it all my ear glued to the radio I hear the station call: “this is Radio Caroline, evening all, hope you’re doing fine”, one hell of a time!"
Arjen Lucassen's Supersonic Revolution - Golden Age Of Music - great video too, it's even got a Caroline sticker on the radio!
No wonder it's getting a decent number of plays.
Just like Status Quo's Rock 'N' Roll did, because of the chorus -
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock and Rock 'n' Roll
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock keeps rollin' on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
(We can pray) We can pray, (what we say) what we say (what we say)
Makes a difference in the end.
And, of course, this got a lot of air plays on Caroline when 648 was fired up, despite no specific reference to Caroline.
Can anyone else think of other songs that reference Caroline, other pirates, or indeed any radio stations?
