Lyrics
I heard you on wireless back in fifty two,
Lying awake intently tuning in on you,
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through,
Oo wa oh, hey now.
They took the credit for your second symphony
Re-written by machine and new technology,
And now I understand the problems you can see,
Oo wa oh, Hey I met your children,
Oo wa oh, What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star,
Video killed the radio star,
Pictures came and they broke your heart,
Oh woah oh oh oh oh woah
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
Oo wa oh, Hey I met your children,
Oo wa oh, What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star,
Video killed the radio star,
Pictures came and they broke your heart,
Oh woah oh oh oh oh woah
You are a radio star,
You are a radio star, star, star.
Video killed the radio star,
Video killed the radio star,
In my mind and in my car,
V-v-v video killed the radio star
