加拿大創作才女［瓊妮米雪兒］首支熱門曲──民謠搖滾／流行曲──［You Turn Me On, Im a Radio／你打開我，我是一台收音機］

 

Driving into town

With a dark cloud above you

Dial in the number

Whos bound to love you

Oh honey you turn me on

 

Im a radio

Im a country station

Im a little bit corny

Im a wild wood flower

 

Waving for you

Broadcasting tower

Waving for you

And Im sending you out

This signal here

I hope you can pick it up

Loud and clear

I know you dont like weak women

 

You get bored so quick

And you dont like strong women

Cause theyre hip to your tricks

Its been dirty for dirty

Down the line

But you know

 

I come when you whistle

When youre loving and kind

If youve got too many doubts

If theres no good reception for me

Then tune me out, cause honey

 

Who needs the static

It hurts the head

And you wind up cracking

And the day goes dismal

From "Breakfast Barney"

To the sign-off prayer

 

What a sorry face you get to wear

Im gonna tell you again now

If youre still listening there

If youre driving into town

With a dark cloud above you

 

Dial in the number

Whos bound to love you

If youre lying on the beach

With the transistor going

Kick off the sand flies honey

The loves still flowing

If your head says forget it

But your hearts still smoking

Call me at the station

The lines are open

瓊妮以她清亮明細的嗓音清柔演繹．

儘管Graham Nash, David Crosby, 和Neil Young都參與這首歌的錄製，

但官方發行版中只收錄Graham Nash演奏的口琴片段。
