"I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio" is the fourth single released from Welsh rock band Stereophonics' second studio album, Performance and Cocktails (1999), on which the song appears as the seventh track. The single was released in August 1999 and reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. A live version from Morfa Stadium is present on CD2 of the single. A version with Stuart Cable singing vocals can be found on CD1 on the "Hurry Up and Wait" single.

Background

In the album booklet for Performance and Cocktails, vocalist Kelly Jones revealed that he wrote the song in August 1997 after waking up from a dream. In the dream, George Harrison and Ringo Starr of the Beatles were singing "I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio" in front of Jones' parents' house. Jones also said that he originally wanted drummer Stuart Cable to sing the track so they could "keep the Ringo theme going".

Music video

The video was inspired as an homage to the cult 1969 road film Easy Rider. It shows the band as characters from the film, making a road trip through America on motorbikes.
