Band Name Origins:
- When Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Wooley were rehearsing in a tiny flat in London (and writing Video Killed The Radio Star) they kept making jokes about how they would never be as big as "the buggles" (i.e. The Beatles). Guess they were right! Geoff Downes recalls this in the liner notes of the CD of debut album "The Age of Plastic" Submitted by: Pete

Story about this misheard lyric by: E. Fincher I had no idea what a 'super nova scene' was, but I could have contemplated the meaning of that lyric for the rest of my life. Now that I know what they're really saying, it's rather dull. |

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Video Killed The Radio Star"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Video killed the radio star
Why They're Nonsensical: This song was out back in 1950 - before radio was invented!
From the ed; it actually came out in 1979 and yes, radio was around in the 1950's :-) Submitted by: Tarquin
| "Video Killed The Radio Star"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: (Oh ah oh!) You were the first one!
(Oh ah oh!) You were the last one! Why They're Nonsensical: Nice song, but how can you be the first one and be the last one at the same time! This just doesn't make any sense.

Dirty Lyrics:
"I Love You (Miss Robot)"
The Dirty Lyrics: I feel so hard when you take me in
Why They're Dirty: I think it's fairly obvious... even someone without a particularly dirty mind could find a dubious quality about this line. Also, the title suggests the song's about a love affair with a piece of machinery, so... who knows. Could be intentional. Kinda creepy if that's the case, really...
