I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
Laying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh, ah, ohThey took your credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machines and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh, ah, ohI met your children
Oh, ah, oh
What did you tell them?Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starPictures came and broke your heart
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ohAnd 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, ohYou were the first one
Oh, ah, oh
You were the last oneVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starIn my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh, ah, ah, oh, oh
Oh, ah, ah, oh, ohVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starIn my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Look, I'll play with my VCRYou are the radio star
You are the radio starVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starVideo killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio starVideo killed the radio star
You are the radio star
