Many people do not realize this song is actually from 1979 -- it peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1979. So these lyrics, as prophetic as they were, was both retrospective AND prospective in the 1970s!

Video ?? But now they don't make music videos as much anymore, like MTV is dead

"Radio's NOT dead! But it is ending THIS brodcast." In all seriousness I actually remember hearing this on the radio (Oddly enough) growing up since my parents were big on going places during the weekends and we spent a good deal of time in the car. It just took me until I was in my teens to really understand what it was about. And of course was the first song that came to mind during that fight in Hazbin.

I remember listening to this once when I was younger and it has stuck with me ever since

when i was a little kid my dad got me a radio for my birthday he made a cd to and on it were classics like this final count crazy train and many more. aah the memories

I remember this song in just dance and I never knew the meaning of the song These lyrics are sad honestly but this song is still such a bop

I always hear this song and think of man talking about an ex lover of his (Oh-wa Oh-wa voice), a radio star. He's reflecting on how he first fell for her, young and in love with her voice, upon meeting her kids he thinks of her again. He obviously still feels a lot for her, but he witnessed the murder of the main director of the radio station after "they took the credit for her second symphony" bc it obviously was an issue, she was being cancelled. He helped her cover up the murder by blaming someone else "VTR" and after that they broke off." because he was an accomplice to murder that's also why he sounds concerned when asking "what did you tell them" he schedules a rendezvous at the old studio where the murder took place, and they both start reminiscing over that time, but he can't stop thinking about how he watched the woman he idolized and loved kill a man. Even when he's thinking of how she called him her radio star back then, the murder still plays over that. Although video killed the radio star, the radio star got her chance to kill the video before it took off. She was the first one, and the last one.

@legoben98productions

Yours sound great and sounds more inline than mine. I’m honestly hearing it as a ghost story of sorts. The man still reminiscing on the past as he goes around the old studio. The radio star being killed by video, the children of the radio star started talking about her & her death to the man who was taken by all this because the kids speaking of details that they wouldn’t know about. The man goes to the old studio where the radio star was killed in, that was gonna turn into a video studio but the radio star kept haunting the studio. she appears to tell him about how the video industry killed her career and the heads of the studio ended up killing her back in ‘52.

@GooberJuice69420

Жыл бұрын

I think its about the death of radio shows that were popular in the 1950s as television became something everyone could afford, and the "vtr" part is probably a typo to VCR, which makes more sense as recordable television probably played a big part in the death of radio shows.

GTA Vice City is how I know this song. The game is set in the 1980’s, a time when music videos were in their infancy but starting to dominate the music scene in a very insidious manner that would facilitate the rise of MTV. Strangely enough, come to think about it, the first song on MTV was none other than The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star.

I like this song. First music video played on MTV btw.

This song still sounds so futuristic to me and it came out in 1979!
