The pirate radio station “Pirate Radio”, operating on a ship in the North Sea, blithely broadcasts the latest rock hits. The crew of the pirate radio station around Quentins (Bill Nighy), Carl (Tom Sturridge), DJ Gavin (Rhys Ifans) and Count (Philip Seymour Hoffmann) get into trouble, however, when even the British government intervenes to stop the station…

  1. In the deleted scene where the engineer/producer Harold takes over the microphone as Spike Seattle, when the boys are late getting back to the ship, what is the title and performer of the first song heard. The lyric is something like, “As I stand here among my friends – – -“, later we hear “- – – my man & I love the kids – – – “. Then we see and hear Harold playing
    Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston doing “It Takes Two.” Any help would be appreciated.
