lyrics

Driving around with the radio on
Just like a Jonathan Richman song
Got my baby beside me and it feels so great
But then he's turning the treble, and twisting the bass
And I said hey man, get back in your place

Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't touch that dial

Playing a party with my favorite band
Got a friend on the soundboard to lend a hand
Some guy in the crowd thinks he hears it plain
And then he's turning the volume, and twisting the gain
And I said hey man, you're being a pain.

Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't touch that dial

Don't be that guy with his hand in the pie
The one who's always turning the knobs
You'll be more attractive if you're a little less active
Or you could just get a job

Spinning some records at a late night dance
I've got the audience in a trance
Some guy on the floor wants to choose the next song
No matter what I pick, he'll think it's wrong
and I said hey man, just move along.

Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't be a backseat DJ
Don't touch that dial
