HD Won’t Bring You Back
Original words and music by Bob Seger
New lyrics by Steve Bryant

Reception is erratic, there’s a lot more static
Than there used to be.
You were the home of Top 40
Now it seems you’ve lost all your dignity.
Infomercials and the brokered preachers, too.
Sounded out the message that your good days were through.
Now you think IBOC is the one thing that you lack.
You must be on crack.
AM radio, HD won’t bring you back.

Better ditch all your consultants,
Try to serve your listeners like you used to do.
Don’t worry about your signal, 
Much better content might just pull you through.
High Definition is a stupid name,
You say it’s like HDTV, but it’s not the same.
All those fancy new radios just don’t add up to jack,
Are your brains in a sack?
AM radio, HD won’t bring you back.

Most AM stations are still swimming upstream,
Their crappy nighttime signal must be making them scream.
Ibiquity swore that it was better than sex.
It still screws up DX.

Ipods and satellite are winning the game,
Radio only has its own self to blame.
They used to entertain, but long ago they lost the knack.
AM can’t face the fact.
AM radio, HD won’t bring you back.
