I am looking for Names of Songs.

I will give you a hint to the Name of each Song by posting a line taken verbatim from that particular song. It may not be a complete sentence or lyric but it will not be chopped, edited, abbreviated, etc. (I am using three different sites for my source of lyrics.)

All songs have appeared in Billboards Top 100 and Hot 100 countdown. No obscure songs by obscure bands.

EDIT: This time all songs in this quiz have the word “radio” in the title.

SPECIAL EDIT: While all the titles will contain the word “radio”, it may not be limited to that particular word. For instance: “Radiology” may be used.

Good luck and have fun!

1. “This is not free Europe”
2. “I’ve never told a soul”
3. “Turn me loose”
4. “I never liked disco”
5. “The promise of an early bed”
6. “Push that, push that, push”
7. “You ain’t from around here”
8. “I buy the product”
9. “Magic at your fingers”
10. “You were the first one”

/minor nitpick

It’s “The Spirit of Radio”- by Rush and “Video Killed the Radio Star” is by The Buggles
