"Just Play Music!" is a song by the English band Big Audio Dynamite, released in May 1988 as the first single from their third studio album, Tighten Up, Vol. 88 (1988). The edit of "Just Play Music!" omits Don Letts' rapping from the outro and some of the samples.
In the US, it was the second song to top Billboards then-new Modern Rock Tracks chart.
A heavily edited version of the single's B-side, "Much Worse", is used as the introduction of WBAI's talk radio programme "Off the Hook".
