The Buggles fue un grupo británico de música pop con toques rock formada en 1977.
El sonido de The Buggles se caracterizó por un deliberado sonido tecno, electrónico y pop en consonancia con una temática fuertemente tecnológica y futurista de sus canciones.
Video Killed the Radio Star es una canción original de 1979, de Bruce Woolley And The Camera Club para el álbum Bruce Woolley And The Camera Club, que fue un éxito en Canadá.
Cuando Woolley se incorpora a The Buggles comienzan a tocarla.
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, look i'll play my 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.)
