The Buggles fue una banda británica de new wave y synth pop formada en 1977. Estaba formada por Geoff Downes (teclados), Trevor Horn (bajo, guitarra, percusiones y voces) y Bruce Woolley. Antes del primer lanzamiento Woolley dejó la banda para formar The Camera Club junto a Thomas Dolby y Hans Zimmer.

Su vídeo musical, dirigido por Russell Mulcahy, es famoso por ser el primer vídeo emitido por la cadena estadounidense MTV el 1 de agosto de 1981. El motivo para la elección parece bastante claro. Tanto la letra de la canción como las imágenes del vídeo, con radios explotando, hacen referencia a una vieja estrella de la radio que ve cómo sus días de gloria acaban debido a la proliferación del vídeo. El vídeo también es conocido por mostrar en el piano eléctrico, en el minuto 2:53, al entonces de veintidós años y hoy célebre compositor Hans Zimmer.






Buggles - Video killed the radio star 1979

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 on 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 (ohh)
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go (ahh)
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 too far
Oh, a, a, a, oh
Oh, a, a, a, 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 too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on 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
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star) video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star) video killed the radio star
