Radio

―with verse inspiration from the 1978 song "Video Killed the Radio Star," written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley, and Queen's 1984 song "Radio Ga Ga"

Philco, Crosley, Atwater Kent,
Cathedral-style, heaven sent, vintage tube,
please play a while for me.

Art Deco line, pre-war sleek, I've yet to hear
that old-time speak for video killed the radio
star and more.

It wrote the endings, staged the plot, mind's
theater has closed, full stop for video killed
the radio star and more.

We watch the shows, we watch the stars,
on videos for hours and hours. We hardly
need to use our ears.

How music changes through the years.

Philco, Crosley, Atwater Kent,
Cathedral-style, heaven sent, vintage tube,
pre-war sleek, I've yet to hear that old-time

speak, for video killed the radio star, in my
mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've
gone too far.

It wrote the endings, staged the plot, mind's
theater has closed

full stop.
