VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR
Words and music by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley, ©1978.
As recorded by The Buggles on "The Age of Plastic" (1980).

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-ah-oh.
They took the credit for your second symphony,
Rewritten by machine on new technology,
And now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-ah-oh.
I met your children.
Oh-ah-oh.
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-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:
Oh-ah-oh.
You were the first one.
Oh-ah-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-ah-oh-oh-oh.
Oh-ah-oh-oh-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 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.

[overlapping:] You are a radio star./Video killed the radio star. [repeat and fade]

["The song's music video was written, directed, and edited by Russell Mulcahy, and is well-remembered as the first music video shown on MTV in the United States at 12:01 a.m. on 1 August 1981."--Wikipedia.]
