Song lyrics
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two.
Lying awake intent and 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 machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a 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-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
Oh-a-a-a oh
Oh-a-a-a 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.(x10 fade out)
(after 4x) You are the radio star (x5 fade out)

Oh-a oh (x6 fade out)

Anyone heard of dictionarioke? Well, the dictionarioke version of this song is hilarious. Especially during the oh-ah-oh part.

I do love this song. Maybe the video is not the big deal but it was the first one to appear in MTV and its amazing.

This song was stuck in my head all day so I asked my dad who did it and I laughed at who it told me it was. The word Buggle is funny to me. I like this song it is cute.
