Midnight Radio is a song performed by The Archies and the citizens of Riverdale. It was originally written by Stephen Trask for Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
The Archies make their debut performance in the Variety Show at La Bonne Nuit with this song. Right before the final chant, the band moves off the stage to take their performance to the rooftop of Pop's. While there Jughead sees several people with cameras and begins to once again question who the voyeur is. Right before the song ends, we see that he later returns to the bunker where he finds a recording of two figures dressed up as him and Betty reenacting his alleged murder.[1]
Lyrics[]
Archie:
Rain falls hard
Burns dry
A dream or a song
That hits you so hard
It's filling you up
And suddenly you're gone
Veronica:
Breathe
Feel love
Give free
Know in your soul
Jughead:
Like your blood knows the way
From your heart to your brain
Betty and Jughead:
Knows that you're whole
Betty:
And you're shining
Like the brightest star
A transmission
On the midnight radio
Kevin:
And you're spinning
Like a 45
Ballerina
Dancing to your rock and roll
Archie:
Here's to Ronnie
Veronica:
And Archie
Jughead:
And Betty
Betty:
And Jughead
Betty and Veronica:
And Choni
Archie and Jughead:
And Reggie
Kevin:
And me
Archie, Jughead, and Kevin:
And all the strange rock and rollers
You know you're doing all right
Betty and Veronica:
So hold on to each other
You gotta hold on tonight
Cheryl and Kevin with Archie and Jughead and Citizens harmonizing:
And you're shining
Like the brightest star
Cheryl and The Archies with Citizens harmonizing:
A transmission
On the midnight radio
Toni and Kevin with Archie and Jughead:
And you're spinning
Your new 45s
Fangs, Kevin, Reggie, and Sweet Pea:
With all the misfits and the losers
The Archies and Students:
Well, you know you're rock and rollers
Spinning to
Your rock and roll
The Archies and Citizens:
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Veronica with The Archies and Citizens (The Archies and Citizens):
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your (hands) (Veronica: Ha-a-ands)
Lift up your hands
Lift up your (hands) (Veronica: Ha-a-ands)
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your (hands) (Veronica: Hands)
The Archies:
Lift up your hands
