Content



"There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio" is a moderate up-tempo novelty song. In it, the male narrator describes how old and run-down his car is but explains that he continues to drive it because "there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio" specifically, "there ain't a country station that [he] can't tune in". The song features electric guitar and fiddle accompaniments.

Music video



The music video was directed by John Lloyd Miller and premiered in early-1992. It shows Tippin performing at a concert sporting a mullet.

Other versions



Tippin performed the song with Alvin and the Chipmunks on their 1992 album 'Chipmunks in Low Places'. In this version, Simon repeatedly attempts to correct the song's grammar, singing "there isn't anything wrong with the radio". Tippin then explains that the song is supposed to have grammatical errors because it is country.

"There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio" debuted at number 54 on 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) for the chart week of February 15, 1992. On the chart week of April 18, 1992, it became Tippin's first Number One hit, holding the position for three weeks and then falling to number 10.
