    I've been drivin' all night,
    My hand's wet on the wheel
    There's a voice in my head
    That drives my heel
    It's my baby callin',
    Says: I need you here
    And it's a half past four
    And I'm shifting gear
    When she is lonely
    And the longing gets too much
    She sends a cable
    Coming in from above
    Don't need a phone at all
    We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
    We've got a wave in the air,
    Radar Love
    The radio's playing some forgotten song
    Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"

    Have listened to radar Love for 40+ years. Just assumed the lyric Brenda Lee coming on strong was just a reference to Brenda Lee singing well. Did not know it was the name of a song.

      I always thought coming on strong was reference to the strength of the radio signal. Probably because I have done a bit of long distance driving, and radio stations would fade in and out as you crossed the miles.

      ​@PtolemyJones I thought it was 2 fold...her singing her heart out and strength of radio signal.
      55 years later as a 58 year old, cool to find out it was actually a song. Go Brenda Lee!! 🎵

    The lyric "And the radio played that forgotten song,
    Brenda Lee's 'Coming on Strong' " is actually a tribute to Brenda. When, after years of not hearing it, you can immediately recall a title and the artist's name, the song is not "forgotten", but it made a rather lasting impression!
