Saturday’s Theme Music

“Turn Up the Radio” by Autograph was a party mainstream when I was stationed in Germany in the late 1980s. Drinking guys were fond of gathering in a circle and belting the song out. (At least my circle of military buddies followed this practice, to the dismay of neighbors.)

“Turn Up the Radio” was made for that activity. The lyrics were simple, and the backing music and rhythms begged for a power sing-along. Other than that one song, learned off the radio and at parties, I knew and know nothing about Autograph.

“Turn it up. Yeah.”

 

Today’s Theme Music

You’re heading into the weekend, or you’re already in it, depending upon your region, you know what you gotta do? That’s right, turn it up. Things go better with rock. Here’s Autograph, from nineteen eighty-four, with “Turn Up the Radio.” Ah, the video, the clothes, hair, attitude, and general corniness. It’s a trip-treat.
