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 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.


Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)

Thanks, actually it's probably a good job I didn't do this quiz as next Friday I might be at the Erotica show so I wouldn't have been able run one then! :)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

So Jellybaby what time is the quiz tomorrow? :)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

PS I went to Erotica today, so I should be around tomorrow! Be afraid...! :D

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

What did you get at Erotica that we should be afraid of? :shocked:

@ Jelllybaby: Will there be a quiz today?

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

Mwhahahahaaaaa!!! :devsmoke:

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

PS Did anyone actually *tell* Jellybaby that the winner runs the next quiz...?

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

Will you send him a PM or shall I?

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

PM sent.

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

Any reply ?

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

I am really sorry :( I didn't realise I had to set the next quiz.....me bad.
Just got in from work and found Graham's PM, and i've got to go back work in half an hour.

I feel really bad......sorry

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

No problem. The quiz regulars know, but nobody thought of reminding/telling you.

Would you be able/willing to set next week's quiz?

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

I will indeed :) I just feel guilty about this week

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

It is as much my fault, as the setter of last weeks quiz i should have made it clearer about the expectation that the winner sets the next one - so my apologies to you & everyone else :dozey:

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

No need - it's our fault for not telling you ;)

Have a greenie as consolation - and for being called 'jellybaby' :)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

:) thanks :)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

What time will the quiz be? :)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

The Quiz will be starting at 7pm, if thats ok with everyone :)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

Great! (though I'm not sure if I can make that)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

May miss it then :(

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

Cant make it any other time....sorry :(

Would people like me to do it another day ???

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

I should be good for 7pm.....

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
 

Not your fault. It is the school disco so I am collecting one child and dropping off another all at around 7pm. (If Graham hasn't answered all the questions I may be back for the tricky ones) ;)

Re: It isn't a 10 meg thread - It's the Friday Quiz, instead :)
