Video Killed The Radio Star by Buggles

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 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 oh-a oh)
I met your children
(Oh-a oh 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 oh-a oh)
You were the first one
(Oh-a oh 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 too 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 too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Look I'll play my 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…
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…
