Lyrics
Alvin:
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lyin' awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Simon & Theodore:
Oh-a-oh
Alvin:
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Simon & Theodore (Alvin):
Oh-a-oh, (I met your children)
Oh-a-oh, (what did you tell them?)
Simon & Theodore:
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Alvin:
Pictures came and broke your heart
The Chipmunks:
Oh-aoh-oh
Alvin:
And now we meet in an abandoned studio (ah)
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Simon & Theodore (Alvin):
Oh-a-oh, (you were the first one)
Oh-a-oh, (you were the last one)
Simon & Theodore:
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Alvin:
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
The Chipmunks:
Oh-aoh-oh, oh-aoh-oh
Simon & Theodore:
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Alvin:
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
Simon & Theodore:
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)
Video killed the radio star
(Repeat to fade)
