Turn Me On
Zazí Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pushed the button, I switched it on
You lost my frequency and now I'm gone
I watched your favorite, your favorite poise
I'm a radiostation, you have no choice

Turn, turn, turn, turn me on
Turn, turn, turn, turn me on
You like my jingels, you like my tune
You love my singles in the afternoon
I'm in your house, I'm in your car
In the supermarket, in the bar

Turn, turn, turn, turn me on
Turn, turn, turn, turn me on
I can whistle, I can sing for you
I can listen, listen too
Every night until the morning done
You just have to turn, turn me on

From satellites, but all so small
I send my wave, just hear them call
Pick them up when they reach you
There's only one thing left for you to do

I can whistle, I can sing for you
I can listen, listen too
Every night until the morning done
You just have to turn, turn me on

Woohoo
Turn, turn me on




Turn, turn, turn, turn me on
Turn, turn, turn, turn me on

Overall Meaning

The song "Turn Me On" by Zazí is a playful tune about a radio station that is personified as a woman, offering her jingles, tunes, and songs to anyone who wants to listen. The opening lines, "Pushed the button, I switched it on, You lost my frequency and now I'm gone," suggest that the listener has lost interest in the station, perhaps due to programming changes or the emergence of other media. However, the station is still going strong, and she asserts that "I'm a radiostation, you have no choice" - indicating that she will continue broadcasting, regardless of whether anyone is listening.


The chorus of the song, "Turn, turn, turn, turn me on," encourages the listener to tune in and enjoy the station's offerings. The lyrics highlight the ubiquity of radio - the station is "in your house, in your car, in the supermarket, in the bar," suggesting that it is an ever-present part of daily life. The lines "I can whistle, I can sing for you, I can listen, listen too" further emphasize the intimacy that can develop between a listener and their favorite station; even though the station is not physically present, it feels like a companion.


Overall, the song is a lighthearted celebration of the power of radio to entertain, inform, and connect people. It underscores the idea that radio is not just a medium, but a relationship between listener and broadcaster.

Een mooie nostalgische zomerse sfeer. De muziek en de beelden zijn perfect in harmonie. Prachtige stemmen en zeer aantrekkelijke zangeressen. Een goed muzikaal arrangement met een instrumentatie van authentieke klanken Ik wil deze muziek op de radio horen graag!

They are all young and fresh from head to toes, including their voices. Absolutely turn on the audiences.

I love this video not for the pretty girls but for the french car... a DS made by Citroën in 1955 and during about 20 years. This car is still so nice and amazing !

Pablo Leon Fernandez

Las chicas además de cantar bien, son guapas y por su interpretación musical muy dulces.

Wat een heerlijk nummer om naar te luisteren, ik hoop dat dat ze meer van dit soort muziek maken. Het verveeld niet en is heerlijk, en ik heb hem al grijs gedraaid.

Heerlijk nummer. Om bij weg te smelten en dan helemaal wanneer het gezongen wordt door drie van deze prachtige dames. Echt een top werk.
