The song is about a radio disc jockey broadcasting in the early hours. However, as none of the BBC Radio stations broadcast after midnight in the 1980s (only a few commercial stations did), this reference in the record was changed, and the UK version was re-recorded and retitled as "I Love My Radio (Dee Jay's Radio)", with a few changes in lyrics; the lyric "DJ after midnight" was changed to "DJ up to midnight" and "on the midnight radio" was changed to "on the good time radio".
