THERE'S A WIRELESS STATION DOWN IN MY HEART Words by Ed Moran and Joe McCarthy, Music by James V. Monaco Arranged by Kathie Touin Oh, there's something nobody knows I don't suppose anyone knows Any time that I'm feeling blue I always know what to do Postal cards and letters I just leave alone Never have connections on the telephone The way I get my lovin' Is the finest system known (chorus) There's a wireless station down in my heart And ev'ry flash just tears it apart Some operator constantly Sends his love to me When he thinks that I'm lonesome or feeling blue That's just the time he knows what to do He sends love sparks to his mate Hugs and kisses mm they're great Oh my but he can sure operate On the wireless in my heart Ev'ry time he sends me a spark He hits the mark, right in the dark Ev'ry time he wires to me I answer back CQD He sends all his kisses to me à la mode No one interferes we have a clear straight road And how I love my lovin' On my little private code (chorus)

about

Kathie's recording of There's A Wireless Station Down in My Heart, a 1913 song, specially made for The British Broadcasting Century podcast released on 8 August 2022.

There's A Wireless Station Down in My Heart has words by Ed Moran & Joe McCarthy, music by James V Monaco. The song was written when wireless did not mean wi-fi like today and even pre-dates radio broadcasting in the sense that we know it. Instead the song celebrates wireless communication via Morse code, in a rather saucy way.

Available to download or stream exclusively on Bandcamp, in two versions: an old-timey mono mix and a modern stereo mix.
