The Buggles were an English new wave band formed in London, England in 1977 by singer and bassist Trevor Horn and keyboardist Geoffrey Downes. They are best known for their 1979 debut single “Video Killed the Radio Star” that topped the UK Singles Chart and reached number one in 15 other countries.
In October 2011, The Buggles reunited to play at the British Music Experience at the O2 Arena in London. At the 2016 Progressive Music Awards, the Buggles won an “Outer Limit Award”.
Backing Tracks
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
Oh a oh
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh a oh
Oh a oh
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Oh, a, a, a, oh
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a oh
Oh-a oh
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
In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put down the blame on VCR
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
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
