According to Wikipedia, the lyrics from this 1979 hit by the Buggles express a desire to remember nostalgic radio through which many “stars” were created and a fear that children of current and past generations would not appreciate the medium due to the introduction of television music videos. Many people know it was the first video shown on MTV, but many do not know that it was also the millionth. Who would guess that almost 30 year after its release, stars would be created on a medium called the Internet. So, the question is: If video killed the radio star, and the Internet killed the TV star, any guesses as to who will kill the Internet star? One thing is for certain, this song and this video will go on forever. It never gets old.
