Lyrical Meaning

This song is an attack on corporate takeover of radio stations in the late 1990s. Radio stations would have one DJ record shows and have it broadcast over many stations, saving money but also losing the local connection with audiences. Since the DJ is not local and is recording the show ahead of time, he cannot refer to timely events and must make an effort to connect with an audience he does not know. This song was banned by numerous stations around the country because of its content. Fact|date=October 2008
