The Modern Lovers fue una banda de rock estadounidense liderada por Jonathan Richman, que funcionó durante los años setenta y ochenta.
La primera época de la banda va del año 1970 a 1974. Sus grabaciones aparecieron años después y fueron muy influyentes. El disco homónimo de la banda (1976), contiene temas como "Roadrunner", "She Cracked" o "Hospital", que pueden ser considerados clásicos.
El sonido de la banda parece estar influenciado por The Velvet Underground

one two three four five six DDA Roadrunner, roadrunner DDA Going faster miles an hour DDA Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop DDA With the radio on
(and so on) The very end of the song has a couple of E's, like this:
DDA DDA DDAEEEA
(here are the remainder of the lyrics) I'm in love with Massachusetts And the neon when it's cold outside And the highway when it's late at night Got the radio on I'm like the roadrunner
Alright I'm in love with modern moonlight 128 when it's dark outside I'm in love with Massachusetts I'm in love with the radio on It helps me from being alone late at night It helps me from being lonely late at night I don't feel so bad now in the car Don't feel so alone, got the radio on Like the roadrunner That's right
Said welcome to the spirit of 1956 Patient in the bushes next to '57 The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick Suburban trees, suburban speed And it smells like heaven(thunder) And I say roadrunner once Roadrunner twice I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night Roadrunner That's right
Well now Roadrunner, roadrunner Going faster miles an hour Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop With the radio on at night And me in love with modern moonlight Me in love with modern rock & roll Modern girls and modern rock & roll Don't feel so alone, got the radio on Like the roadrunner O.K., now you sing Modern Lovers
(Radio On!) I got the AM (Radio On!) Got the car, got the AM (Radio On!) Got the AM sound, got the (Radio On!) Got the rockin' modern neon sound (Radio On!) I got the car from Massachusetts, got the (Radio On!) I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night (Radio On!) I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the I've got the, got the power of the AM Got the, late at night, (?), rock & roll late at night The factories and the auto signs got the power of modern sounds Alright
