When I was small I used to love the song Aauuaa Aauuaa from the movie Disco Dancer. I realized it much later that the song was inspired from the song by "The Buggles" - Video Killed The Radio Star, when I listened to it I loved it even more than the Hindi version. There is something about this song, no matter how many time I listen to it, I never get bored. Today I heard this song on the radio while coming to the office in the cab. This was the first song that was aired on MTV on 1 August 1981, at 12:10 A.M. Thats just an amazing fact and on February 27, 2000 it also became the millionth video to be aired on MTV!
Here is the video of the song from youtube. The lyrics are also written below. Just amazing song.
Lyrics
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, put the blame on VTR.
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.)
