Here's another Youtube video showing Golden Earring a few years later, looking more like Queen. What the heck is that, a man bra?

Read the Radar Love story on Wikipedia

Radar Love was a hit song in 1973 by Dutch group Golden Earring. You very well might work for a radar company if you found this page; at your next Christmas party, ask the DJ to cue it up, then watch the dance floor magically fill in, it's a classic. If you serve in the military, play it on your next bombing mission when you're carrying anti-radiation missiles, and share the love!

Radar Love

by Barry Hay and George 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's 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
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
