"Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" is a song written by Michael Cleveland for R&B/dance group Indeep. It features vocals from Reggie and Rose Marie Ramsey, and its protagonists recall how they were bored to death until a DJ played a hot song and saved their lives by giving new energy to the night. The song was released as a single in 1982 and became the most popular and successful hit released by their record label, Sound of New York. In the U.S. "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" reached number ten on the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart and number two on the Club Singles chart, and it peaked at number thirteen in the United Kingdom. The track appears as the third track of the namesake album released in 1983.
Rolling Stone magazine declared the song "one of the greatest songs ever written about being a girl, listening to the radio or any combination of the two",[1] and in 2005 editors of Blender magazine placed it at number 406 on their "500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" list. The song also provided the inspiration for the title of the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey (2000). Because of the limited success of Indeep's later releases, the group's first single was their only hit and placed them into the one-hit wonder category of artists. In 2004, UK house/trance music producer Seamus Haji made several popular remixes of the song through his own label, Big Love Records, and released them on a 12" single titled "Last Night a DJ Saved My Wife (ATFC mixes)". This version reached number thirteen on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK Dance chart in 2006. - wiki

MrFiskLast night a deejay saved my life
Last night a deejay saved my life, yeah
‘Cause I was sittin’ there bored to death
And in just one breathe he said
“You got get up, you got get up, you got get down girl”
You know you drive me crazy, baby
You got me turnin’ to another man
Called you on the phone no one’s home
Baby, why you leave me all alone
And if it wasn’t for the music
I don’t know what I’d do, yeah

You know I hopped into my car, didn’t get very far, no
Because I had you on my mind, why be so unkind
You got your women all around, all around this town
But I was trapped in love with you and I didn’t know what to do
But when I turned on my radio
I found out all I needed to know
Check it out

Hey, listen up to your local deejay
You better hear what he’s got to say
There’s not a problem that I can’t fix
‘Cause I can do it in the mix
And if your man gives you trouble
Just move out on a double
And you don’t let it trouble your brain
‘Cause away goes trouble down the drain
Said away goes trouble down the drain
Well, alright
