Turn the Radio Off is a full-length album by the ska punk band Reel Big Fish. It was released in the U.S. in late 1996 on Mojo Records.
The single "Sell Out" received radio airplay and was a minor hit in that year. It has been interpreted as chronicling the payola scandals of early FM radio. However, it can also be seen as a satire of the way the pop music industry works in general. "Sell Out" also appeared on the soundtrack to the video games Tony Hawk Pro Skater, FIFA 2000, Aggressive Inline, and Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure.
Reel Big Fish later released a song titled "Turn the Radio Off" on their album We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy, named after this album.
