buggles.. video killed the radio star.. with lyrics

heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.


Oh-a oh


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


Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.


Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a 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.


Oh-a oh


You were the first one.
Oh-a oh


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 to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho 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 to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VCR.


You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed 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 a radio star.)

Thanks for the posting, was great to see "The Buggles" for the first time. I remember when this song came out the lyrics were thought to be prophetic. Thankfully they were wrong. Radio is still going strong.

[bashfulbob99]

VCR is Video Cassette Recorder. VTR (Video Tape Recorder) is the older term so it is probably correct.

[raz0rbladeapolo]

video killed the radio star not the radio, without a video and promotion its very unlikely you will get the exposure to garner much of a name for yourself, its actually pretty true, its the end of the era where one could become famous just with a good song playing on the radio and word of mouth

[Nabe1995]
