Video Killed the Radio Star [single]
The Buggles
℗ 1979 Island Records WIP 6524
The female 'ooah-ooah' vocals were originally performed by a friend of the Buggles named Tina Charles. (Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes met while playing as auxiliary musicians in her self named band in the mid-1970's.) The tape was messed up during production of the Age of Plastic LP and Ms. Charles was not available for redubbing at the time. Rachel Fury (fairly well known for her work with Pink Floyd - thanks to Neil Blackwell for this info!) was contacted instead and she performed the vocals for the LP. The women in the video were just stand in actresses, according to Geoff Downes. The drums on the A-side were actually played by Warren Cann, the drummer from 'Ultravox'!… |

Video Killed the Radio Star [single version]
(Horn — Downes — Wooley)
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)…
