I heard you on my wireless back in ’52
I like awake intent on 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 machines on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
oh-a-oh
You met the first one
oh-a-oh
I met your children
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
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And I 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 too far
Too far!
Alright
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 all the blame on VCR….ready?
You are… the radio star (x2)
Video killed the radio star (x8)
Video killed that radio star, yes it did
