I was about 15 when the song Video Killed the Radio Star was hot. I could not understand what this song was all about. Of course, I knew what a radio star was, because i had astronomy as a hobby. And a video was a device to record tv shows.
The English lyrics were truely incomprehensible to me, although at the time i accepted the fact that it's ok for lyrics not to make much sence.
