Buggles, "Video Killed the Radio Star"

That’s me singing in that video in case you can’t tell. Lyrics here:

I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two Lying awake intent at 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 to far Oh-a aho-oh Oh-a aho-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 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 Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star (You are a radio star) Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star (You are a radio star) Oh-a oh Oh-a oh Oh-a oh …

That does it. I need to rewrite those lyrics so bad. Here:

I saw your tits on Google back in 014. They looked so damned scrumptious I bet they’re saggy now And now I understand the urgency You see … You’ll meet my children!

Oh well, I tried.

Video Killed the Radio Star haha.
Video Killed the Radio Star haha.
33 years ago, on August 1, 1981, MTV first went on the air. This was the first music video that they showed. What a great choice. Here were the first ten videos they aired: “Video Killed the Radio Star” — The Buggles “You Better Run” — Pat Benatar “She Won’t Dance with Me” — Rod Stewart “You Better You Bet” — The Who “Little Suzi’s on the Up” — Ph.D. “We Don’t Talk Anymore” — Cliff Richard “Brass in Pocket” — The Pretenders “Time Heals” — Todd Rundgren “Take It on the Run” — REO Speedwagon “Rockin’ the Paradise” — Styx For the next three years, I do not think I changed the channel even one time.
