「ラジオスターの悲劇」

地デジを見られるようになってから、小林克也さんの「ベストヒットUSA」を毎週楽しみに見ている。「ベストヒットUSA」と小林克也さんのすばらしさはまた別の機会に書いてみたいが、この日のオンエアでバグルズの「ラジオスターの悲劇」のビデオを見られたのはうれしかった。

ビデオはラジオスターを殺さなかったもしれないし、その前にビデオがハードディスクに殺されてしまったような気がするが、そうしたことに関わらず、素晴らしい曲であり、素晴らしい映像と音だった。

 "Video Killed the Radio Star" The Buggles   

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 too 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 too far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.
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.
repeat
Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)
