"Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)" is a 1974 patter song written by Norman Dolph (lyrics) and Paul DiFranco (music).

[3] The song's outro quotes "Baby I Need Your Loving" by the Four Tops, "Celebrate" by Three Dog Night, "I Want to Take You Higher" by Sly and the Family Stone, and "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" by Stevie Wonder.

The song was remade by Randy Crenshaw and released on 2001 Disney album Mickey's Dance Party under the name "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me...Again!)"

[10] 980, WRC in Washington, DC, also had a personalized version that was played on the air[11] (this actually was common among the big Top 40 AMs of the day with special copies cut for their station).

[12][13] An early 1990s ad campaign for Tysons Corner Center in northern Virginia used the tune but substituted lyrics listing the stores found at the shopping mall at the time, naming the remake "We've Got 'Em All".
