Video Is About to Kill the Radio Star...Again

Tough to improve on perfect lyrics, even if they were about MTV and not iTunes/iShows:

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.
They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology, and now I understand the problems you can see.
I met your children
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star. Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
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.
were the first one.
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

Video killed the radio star.

-- The Buggles

Wasn't this the first song unleashed on MTV?
