Way back Home - Bob Crosby
The roads are the dustiest, the winds are the gustiest
The gates are the rustiest, the pies are the crustiest
The songs the lustiest, the friends the trustiest
Way back home
“That’s right, from Megaton to Girdershade, Paradise Falls to the Republic of Dave, we’re coming to you loud and proud in a special live report.”
- Three Dog
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall - The Ink Spots with Ella Fitzgerald
Into each life some rain must fall
But too much is falling in mine.
Into each heart some tears must fall,
But some day the sun will shine.
Billie Holiday - Crazy he calls me
I say I’ll move the mountains
And I’ll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy, he calls me
Sure I’m crazy
Crazy in love, I’d say
“People of the Capital Wasteland, it is I, Three Dog, your ruler!
Hear me, and obey! Oh sorry, that’s that other radio station.”

Galaxy News Radio
A remnant of the pre-War Galaxy News Network. In 2277, it is run by Three Dog, who provides a commentary on the actions of The Lone Wanderer and plays music from a selection of 20 pre-War songs. These songs are mainly 1940’s American hits.
Galaxy News Radio (GNR) splits its time between Wasteland news, survival advice, and big band music. Three Dog operates the station as part of the “good fight,” which he explains is his attempt to tell inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland how “things really are” and the Enclave’s true intentions (even after you destroy Raven Rock and their Enclave Radio). He also explains that the reason he plays the same few songs over and over is because these are the only records he’s been able to locate in playable condition.
You’re listening to Galaxy News Radio! Bringing you the truth, no matter how bad it hurts… And now, some music.
