Video killed the Radio Star.




I 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 I want a Diet Pepsi

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new dirt cheap rip-off 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 I want my iPhone battery to never die
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 ahhhhhh
You were the last one playin' your analog buckets list
Oh-a BYE!
