A New Era
Our lives are changing, most for the good, some for the bad, and some are just changing. Video had killed the radio star, and tape decks are replacing 8 tracks. Sorry, but we cant go back....Long gone are the days of My Little Pony, Thunder Cats, and Teddie Ruckspin. Now it's time for jean jackets, mohawks (if that's your style), The Cars, Aha, Breakfast Club, bangles, Converse, and tight stretch stone-wash ankel-zip jeans with oversized t-shirts. The time has come to move on to bigger and better things. We may long for the Cabbage Patch dolls and the Care Bears, for the Ninja Turtles, Fraggle Rock, and Big Wheels, but that time in our lives is here, and we must grow up. We're still in that delicate transition stage. Some of us may be Dungeons and Dragons geeks, who will some day rule the technology world, other of us will go on the be the shoulder-padded high heeled females of the working world, like in Working Girl. Maybe you'll grow up to be the dorky dad like Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Vacation. Poor guy. But whoever you are and whatever you will do, college will take you there. *sigh* So Don't you forget about me, because I've got a Heart of Glass, and an Infatuation with Money for Nothin. I mean, Would I Lie To You? I'm Jessie's Girl, Walking Like An Egyptian from A Land Down Under. One Way Or Another you're going to Take On Me, cuz Time After Time I get Hungry Like A Wolf, and this Cruel Summer might make me go Footloose. So Pump Up the Volume and Drive me home, oh, and Call Me.
That was good...crazy, but good.
Video Killed The Radio Star
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 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.
(You are a radio star.)
That was good...crazy, but good.
