White Lion cut "Radar Love" for Big Game, their 1989 album, and it's a cover: the song belongs to the Dutch band Golden Earring, with music by George Kooymans and words by Barry Hay. Mike Tramp takes the lead vocal, Vito Bratta plays guitar, James LoMenzo bass and Greg D'Angelo drums, and Michael Wagener produced, recorded and mixed it, with Chris Steinmetz as additional engineer.
It's a night-driving song through and through: a man tearing home through the dark to a woman he believes is summoning him by some telepathic pull, the radar love of the title, and pressing harder on the gas despite the danger, with the radio chattering along beside him.
