They had the looks and that was all that mattered
Gmin(F) Gmin(E)
until they got off the wire
A A(B) A(C#) Dmin Dmin(C)
and when the airwaves carried their melodious clatter

Their testmarket-generated spell

Radio killed the video star,
A B E

Though the marching band refused to yield
The day radio killed the video star,
A B E F C G
Yes radio killed the video star.

Radio killed the video star.
