"Video Killed the Radio Star"是一首著名的歌曲，由Billy Idol演唱。以下是這首歌的歌詞：
Verse 1:
Video killed the radio star
And left the TV screen unseen
Now we're all on screen
And we're all on our own again
Chorus:
Killed the radio star
The dream was just a dream
Killed the radio star
It was a pity and a shame
Verse 2:
All our records sold
On video every week
You could feel it in the air
Like it never happened before
It's gone and there's no trace
And we're all on our own again
Chorus:
Killed the radio star
The dream was just a dream
Killed the radio star
It was a pity and a shame
Bridge:
So we're all on our own again
But we're not alone
We've got each other to cling on to
In a world without pain, you may call it junk, we may call it music, I'll cling onto your song forevermore.
Chorus:
Killed the radio star, the dream was just a dream
Video killed the radio star, yeah, it was only rock 'n roll.
