The Buggles are an English new wave band formed in London in 1977. They are best known for their 1979 debut single "Video Killed the Radio Star", which topped the UK Singles Chart and reached number one in 15 other countries and was chosen as the song to launch MTV in 1981.

Downes claimed the group's name derived as a pun on the rock band the Beatles, saying: "It was originally called the Bugs, studio insects imaginary creatures who lived in recording studios creating havoc. Then somebody said as a joke that the Bugs would never be as big as the Beatles. So we changed it to the Buggles.

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

(Oh - a - oh - a)

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 - a)
I met your children

(Oh - a - oh - a)
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 - a)
You were the first one

(Oh - a - oh - a)
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 (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........
