Video Killed the Radio Star Songtext

von Buggles

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Video Killed the Radio Star" von Buggles handelt von der Veränderung der Musikindustrie und der Medienland...

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh, 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, oh,
I met your children
Oh, oh
What did you tell them ?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh, uh-oh, oh, oh

An now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And do you remember the jingles used to go
Oh, oh
You were the first one
Oh, 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 to far
Oh, uh-oh, oh, ooh

[this bit's a bit fuzzy]

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone to 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......etc
