Video Killed the Radio Star Songtext
von Teenage Dads

I heard you on the wireless back in ′52
Lying awake, intently tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through (Oh-whoa-oh)

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you could see

(Oh-whoa-oh) I met your children
(Oh-whoa-oh) what did you tell ′em?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
(Pictures come and break your heart)
Oh, ooh-whoa-oh-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-whoa-oh) you were the first one
(Oh-whoa-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, ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh, ooh-whoa-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 my radio star
You are my radio star
You are my radio star (video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star)
You are my radio star (video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star)
You are my radio star (video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star)
You are my radio star (video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star)
