About That's Why God Made the Radio

"That's Why God Made the Radio" is a song written by Joe Thomas, Brian Wilson, Jim Peterik, and Larry Millas for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was the first new single from the band in 20 years and was included on the band's 29th studio album, That's Why God Made the Radio. The album was recorded to coincide with the band's 50th anniversary, which featured a reunion tour of the surviving co-founders. According to the song's co-writer Peterik: [Brian and I] were at an Italian restaurant and we were talking about radio and how great songs used to sound through the AM radio coming through your oval speaker on your Plymouth Valiant and I said, "Man, that was the best sound of all," and Brian said, "Yeah, that's why God made the radio. " Of course, I wrote that down. He didn't realize how brilliant it was, or maybe he did, but that's when we wrote that song. more »

Tuning in the latest star
From the dashboard of my car
Cruisin' at seven 
Push button heaven
Capturing memories from afar
In my car

That's why God made the radio
So tune right in, everywhere you go
He waved His hand, gave us rock 'n roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
That's why God made the radio

Feel the music in the air
Find a song to take us there
It's paradise when I lift up my antenna
Receiving your signal like a prayer
Like a prayer

That's why God made the radio

Spreading the love and sunshine
To a whole new generation
Whole new generation

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California.

Managed by the Wilsons' father Murry, the Beach Boys signed to Capitol Records in 1962. The band's early music gained popularity across the United States for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a Southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. By the mid 1960s, Brian Wilson's growing creative ambition and songwriting ability would dominate the group's musical direction.
