Taylor liked the title, but the rest of the group objected and asked for a re-write. As a result, it went from a song condemning radio ("Ca-Ca") to praising it ("Ga Ga"). Interestingly however, even in the final recorded version, the phrase "Ca-Ca" is present - maybe as a compromise for Taylor?

Queen - Radio Ga Ga
Originally, this was "Radio Ca-Ca," which was something Roger Taylor's
part-French son Felix exclaimed one day in trying to say the radio was
bad ("radio, CACA!). The phrase stuck with Taylor and inspired the
anti-commercial radio themes in the lyrics.
