- Riz Ortolani - "Teresa L'Illusa" (1973)
Trivia[]
- This is the only radio in Grand Theft Auto: London with a named DJ.
- "The Roaring 20's" is taken from the soundtrack of the 1969 Italian film "Una sull'altra" (also known as "One on Top of the Other").
- The only anachronistic song in the radios of GTA London is "Teresa l'illusa" (1973, from the soundtrack of the Italian film "Teresa la ladra", also known as "Teresa the Thief").
- The DJ's Italian pronunciation is poor, as he mispronounces the song "Teresa l'illusa" calling it "Teresa L Elousia" instead of the correct pronunciation "Teh-reh-sa lee-loo-sa".
- The station's name may be a reference to Radio Caroline, a pirate radio station broadcasting off the British coast in the 1960s.
