Are the songs on the Pipboy Radio original to the game?

The songs you hear on the radio are mostly out-of-verse songs from the 30s-60s, and the classical period.

In Fallout 4, radio songs are split across 2 radio stations: Diamond City Radio and Classical Radio. Diamond City Radio also plays a series that were written exclusively for Fallout 4 by Lynda Carter, who voices the in-game singer, Magnolia.

Classical Radio

Classical Radio plays classical music, all of which are real classical pieces from artists such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludvig von Beethoven.

Classical Radio also has ties to the Institute. If you enjoy listening to the Classical Radio station, be advised that destroying the Institute will shut down the radio station, after which classical songs can only be heard from juke boxes.
