Maurice Ernest Gibb, CBE (22 December 1949 – 12 January 2003) was a British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who achieved fame as a member of the group Bee Gees. Although his brothers Barry and Robin Gibb were the group's main lead singers, most of their albums included at least one or two Maurice Gibb compositions, including "Lay It on Me", "Country Woman" and "On Time". The Bee Gees were one of the most successful rock-pop groups ever. Gibb's role in the group focused on melody and arrangements, providing backing vocal harmony and playing a variety of instruments.
Born on the Isle of Man, Gibb started his music career in 1955 in Manchester, England, joining the skiffle-rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes which later evolved into the Bee Gees in 1958 when they moved to Australia. They returned to England, where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2002, the Bee Gees were appointed as CBEs for their "contribution to music". Following his death in 2003, Gibb's son collected his award at Buckingham Palace in 2004.
"...on the Radio (Remember the Days)", also known explicitly as "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)", is the third official single from Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado's first album, Whoa, Nelly!. The song's album title was "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)"; the word "shit" was censored and removed from the title for radio airplay and substituted on the cover art with "#*@!!". Despite the success of Furtado's previous two singles, the song failed to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and began a string of singles for Furtado that failed to chart, until 2006 with "Promiscuous". "#*@!! on the Radio (Remember the Days)" charted in other countries, and was a huge success in New Zealand, reaching #5. It also reached #14 on the Canadian BDS Airplay Chart.
Furtado, who wrote the song in one session, said it is about the feelings of insecurity she experienced when hiding her desire to make pop music to fit in with her underground musical peers. "I could try to be cool and whatever, but why do I have to try?", she said. "Why can't I just be myself? The moment you make that step and say, 'I want to make pop music' is a big thing. But no matter what happens to me there'll always be someone going, 'Oh, her music sucks now because everyone likes it.' I feel that song a lot."

"On the Radio" is a song by American singer and songwriter Donna Summer, released in late-1979 on the Casablanca record label. It was written for the soundtrack to the film Foxes and included on Summer's first international compilation album On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes I & II. It was released as a single and became, in January 1980, her tenth top-ten hit in the U.S. as well as her eighth and final consecutive top 5 single. "On the Radio" peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the soul chart. The song was also Summer's fourteenth entry on the Billboard Disco chart, where it peaked at number eight. In Canada, it peaked at number two.
The song was released in three formats: the radio 45rpm single; the 5+ minute version included on Summer's Greatest Hits double album package, and a DJ Promo 7+ minute version released on 12" single (and included on the Foxes film soundtrack album). This last version was later released on the Bad Girls CD digipack double CD release. The Foxes soundtrack also includes an instrumental version of the song in a ballad tempo and crediting Moroder as a solo artist. In the film, the ballad tempo is heard with Donna Summer's vocals. The disco version is never heard. Donna Summer performed "On the Radio" on many television shows such as American Bandstand. The instrumental parts of this song were occasionally heard on the US version of The Price Is Right in the early 80s when they displayed jukeboxes and stereos as prizes. While the first two versions included all written lyrics, the DJ Promo omitted the final verse, opting instead to repeat the third. Only the first "short" version ended with the famous "on the radio - adio - adio" echo vocal effect.

On The Radio
Big up to anyone who's been involved in care & community
'Cos it's the GLC back again
With another rave anthem for you to feast on, ya bastards
I nick stereos, videos and TVs
But when I'm feeling nice I helps cats out of trees
I'm really nice but you don't know that
Because I'll beat you up, cos you look like a tw@t
Nicked a car in the day, driving real fast
Went out to Risca for a quick fcuking blast
When I've finished my run, it's back home for buns
With my mum and her mates, watching re-runs
By day I sells draw with my mates you see
But at night I likes to watch romantic comedy
I likes to watch Friends and Cheers and Frasier
But during the day I might cut you with a razor
You know I likes hip-hop, you know there's no stopping
But I gotta go, to take my nan out shopping
During the day, I gotta clean the house
But you knows I can sort you out with an ounce
If you see me in town, it's drug money I'm exchanging
But when I'm at home, I'm mainly flower arranging
I likes the yellow daisies and the red roses too
But when I've finished that, it's back to sniffing glue
I watch TV in bed, it really is perfection
Then I w@nks over my stamp collection
'Cos that's what I does when I gets home
'Cos the Queen's fcuking head gives me a big fcuking bone
You might be hard, even harder than me
But I bet you can't look after a fcuking Bonsai tree
Had a fight with some kids, and we kicked their as$
Then I took my kid sister to a ballet class
Every beating I does
No matter how hard it is, no matter how many people I wreck up
I always cleans up the blood off my hands and trackie afterwards, innit
Here we go, Benny Blanco
I lives up my nan's, I told you all before
She's not very rich, in fact she's fcuking poor
Not 'cos she blew it on fags and a blow
But she's addicted to fcuking Bingo
I takes her there every Tuesday night
Then it's off to Voodoo's for a fight
I picks her up around half-past four
And then we goes home and smokes a draw
My nan's wicked, she likes toking blow
Sometimes we watches the Antiques Roadshow
I nick stereos, videos and TVs
But that's what you do when you're in the GLC
During the day I do the shopping for my mum down at Spar
Just so I can borrow my dad's fcuking car
When I goes out, I does a Ritzy's run
And when I gets home, I cutches my mum
Sometimes I go shopping in Matalan's
If the day's nice, I'll take both my nan's
I push 'em round in a wonky old trolley
Then I start to hit 'em with a brolly
'Cos you see I'm not nice all the time
But when I smokes a mix I feels quite fine
On Saturday night I goes fighting in Cwmbran
Then on Sundays I help my mum make some jam
At 6, I goes out for a drink and a fag
By 8, I'm horned-up and I'm up for a shag
By 10, I'm wrecked up and I pukes on my jeans
At 12, I goes home to use the washing machine
Yeah you knows it, it's the fcuking GLC,
Benny Blanco, fcuking Adam Hussein, you knows it,
Fcuking Mike Balls, Raphael, innit
I nick stereos, videos and TVs
My name is Mike Balls and I'm like a disease
I'll fcuk up your insides and bring you down to your knees
But when I threaten you with violence, I say thank you and please
Who's that man in the window pane
He's looking really fcuking crazy, I think it's Adam Hussein
He beat up loads of kids on their way home last night,
Cooked up some dinner and was really alright
I think he's not bad in his own kind of way
But if he doesn't like your face he'll beat you up 'cos you're gay
I nick stereos, videos and TVs
I love being a Clart, it's great to be me
Get with us, be one of the GLC
'Cos you knows it's us that you wanna be
Our crew is growing nearly every fcuking day
So get with us and don't be a fcuking gay
I stack shelves at night, help my gran pay the bills
But I gotta make sure that she takes the right pills
Myra Hindley and Ian Brady,
Those two have got nothing on my old lady
She's quite hard and she'll kick me in
So I've gotta clean up the rubbish and put out the bin
I got caught with the drugs, so now I'm in rehab
And now I'm thinking of my nan in a prefab
My name is Mike Balls and it's true what they say
I'm the hardest man in soccer violence around this way
I beat 50 people up, I'm just fcuking insane
I only visit my nan so she can polish my chain
She gives me a tenner to get her the draw
I don't know why she does 'cos I know she can score
She goes into Ringland to a guy named Del
And on Pension day she buys some fcuking Speed as well
...Took my gran shopping on Monday,
Took my gran shopping on Tuesday,
Took my gran shopping on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
