David Bowie - D.J.
"DJ" was a single by David Bowie. It was taken from the album Lodger in the UK, being released on 29 June 1979.
A cynical comment on the cult of the DJ, the track is noted for Adrian Belew's guitar solo, which was recorded in multiple takes, and then mixed back together for the album track. The single was an edited version, but was still possibly too uncommercial for substantial chart success – it peaked at #29 in the UK, and was not released in other markets. The single was issued on green vinyl in the UK and is now a very desirable collector's item.
The song was performed live for the first time on Bowie's Outside Tour in 1995.
Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life" is a song written by Michael Cleveland for R&B–new wave–dance group Indeep. It features vocals from Réjane "Reggie" Magloire and Rose Marie Ramsey.
The lyrics tell the story of a woman who is bored alone at home. She wants to speak to her man, but cannot reach him and considers leaving him, until a DJ plays a hot song and thereby saves her life. In the second verse, she leaves home, but does not reach her destination. The sound of squeaky wheels suggests she has an accident, but is saved by a DJ playing a good song on the radio.

Tom Petty & Heartbreakers - The Last DJ
Who knew some day we'd live in a world where DJs won't be playing what they want anymore? That you'd have to pay for something you.. The Last DJ is the eleventh studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The tracks "The Last DJ", "Money Becomes King", "Joe", and "Can't Stop the Sun" are attacks on the greediness of the music industry.
"The Last DJ" is the title of a song written by Tom Petty and recorded by American rock band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It was released in September 2002 as the lead single from their album of the same name. This song had moderate success reaching #22 on the Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks in 2002. The song was banned by many stations owned by Clear Channel Communications for being "anti-radio."[1]
Petty told Mojo magazine that in this song, "Radio was just a metaphor. ‘The Last DJ’ was really about losing our moral compass, our moral center.”[2] Petty told Jim DeRogatis that the song is a story "about a D.J. who becomes so frustrated with his inability to play what he wants that he moves to Mexico and gets his freedom back. The song is sung by a narrator who's a fan of this D.J." [3
]This song is an attack on corporate takeover of radio stations in the late 1990s. Radio stations would have one DJ record shows and have it broadcast over many stations, saving money but also losing the local connection with audiences. Since the DJ is not local and is recording the show ahead of time, he cannot refer to timely events and must make an effort to connect with an audience he does not know.
