The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star


I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
Laying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Owah owah

They took your credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

Owah owah
I met your children
Owah owah
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh ah-ah-ah oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go

Owah owah
You were the first one
Owah owah
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh ah-ah-ah oh
Oh ah-ah-ah oh

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
put the blame on VTR

You are... the radio star
You are... the radio star

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
You are... the radio star

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

You are... the radio star
Video killed the radio star...
