Tom Petty and The Last DJ
ClearChannel/”I Heart” banned this song when it first came out because they said it was “anti-radio”.
You decide:
The last DJWell you can’t turn him into a company man
You can’t turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don’t understand a
You can’t turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don’t understand a
nymore
Well the top brass don’t like him talking so much,
And he won’t play what they say to play
And he don’t want to change what don’t need to change
Well the top brass don’t like him talking so much,
And he won’t play what they say to play
And he don’t want to change what don’t need to change
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say, hey hey hey
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say, hey hey hey
Rest in Peace Mr. Petty. Your song is now the anthem of community radio DJs throughout the world.
