Around the Dial (2025 Remaster)

The radios of the world are tuning in tonight

Are you on the dial? Are you tuned in right?

One of our DJs is missing

Are you listening?

Are you listening to me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me clearly?

Around the dial

I've been around the dial so many times but you're not there

Somebody tells me that you've been taken off the air

Well, you were my favorite DJ

Since I can't remember when

You always played the best records

You never followed any trend

F.M., A.M., where are you?

You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial

On the dial

(Are you ready?)

We're going 'round the dial

(Are you listening?)

Around the dial

(Are you tuned in?)

Around the dial

(Are you searching?)

Around the dial

F.M., A.M., where are you?

You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial

On the dial

Where did you go, Mr. DJ?

A-did they take you off the air?

Was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs?

It wasn't the pressure

You never sounded down

It couldn't be the ratings

You had the best in town

Somehow I'm gonna find you, track you down

Gonna keep on searchin'

Around and around and around and 'round and 'round and 'round...

(They're searching)

Around the dial

(They're listening)

Around the dial

(Poor station)

The best in town

(Poor DJ)

Who never let us down

While the critics kept on knocking you

You just kept on rocking 'round the dial

Around the dial

I've been searching for you on my radio

This time your station really must have gone underground

Somebody said you had a minor nervous breakdown

Was it something that you heard

Or something that you saw

That made you lose your mind?

Did you lose control?

Did you step out of line?

If you're there, give us a sign

I can't believe that you've been taken off the air

Think I'll sell my radio now that you're not there

You never gave in to fashion

You never followed any trends

All the record bums tried to hack you up

But you were honest to the end

Gonna keep my radio on

Till I know just what went wrong

The answer's out there somewhere on the dial

On the dial

Can you hear me?

(Around the dial)

Are you listening?

(Around the dial)

Are you out there?

(Around the dial)

Can you hear me?
