It is a very sad day in the annals of rock music. Radar Love has been covered by more than 500 bands, it is one of rocks greatest anthems. George Kooymans is diagnosed with ALS. This diagnosis will perhaps be the end of any live performance of this song by the Earring.
Radar Love (B. Hay / G. Kooymans)
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head that drives my heel It's my baby callin', says I need you here And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she's lonely and the longing gets too much She sends a cable comin' in from above We don't need no phone at all We've got a thing that's called radar love We've got a wave in the air, radar love
The radio's playing some forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" The road has got me hypnotized And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, comin' in from above Don't need no radio at all We've got a thing that's called radar love We've got a line in the sky, radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care Last car to pass, here I go And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" And the newsman sang his same song Ah, one more radar lover's gone
When I'm feeling lonely and I'm sure I've had enough She sends the comfort coming in from above Don't need no radio at all We got a thing that's called radar love We got a line in the sky We got a thing that's called radar love We got a thing that's called... radar love
