"I Love My Radio (Midnight Radio)" is a song by Italo disco singer Taffy, first released as a single in 1985. It was produced by Italian record producer Claudio Cecchetto. The song was a top ten hit in Italy and the United Kingdom, and was also a hit in several countries in Europe. In the United Kingdom, the single was released in 1986 and peaked at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1987. Composition The song is about a radio disc jockey broadcasting in the early hours. However, as the BBC's BBC_Radio_1 popular music station did not broadcast after midnight in the 1980s (only a few commercial pop music stations did, as well as the nighttime UK targeted Radio Luxembourg on MW/AM), this reference in the record was changed, and the UK version was re-recorded and retitled as "I Love My Radio (Dee Jay's Radio)", with a few changes in lyrics; the lyric "DJ after midnight" was changed to "DJ up to midnight" and "on the midnight radio" was changed to "on the good time radio".
