Internet Killed The Industry Star

A kind of lame song about what's going on now with the recording industry.

Sung to the tune of "Video Killed the Radio Star".

------------------------------------------------
Internet Killed the Industry Star
------------------------------------------------
I heard you on the CD back in Ninety-Two
Lying awake and playing CDs two by two
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Recorded on machine by old 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?

Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star

Networks came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
They lost their sales the dumb recording industry
They tried out lawsuits and the users just went free
And you remember the Napster sharing spree
Oh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a oh
You were the last one

Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star

In my player on CD, downloading files in mp3
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star

In my player on CD, downloading files in mp3
File shares wrecked the industry, put the blame on p2p

You are an internet star
You are an internet star

Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star
Internet killed the industry star

You are an internet star..
------------------------------------------------

Don't even think about trying to get me to sing this!

The actual song would be "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.
There's a similar flash movie to the song in this thread, called "Internet Killed the Video Star".

Yes. You are right. Post has been edited to include that. I meant to include that when I originally made the post, but I had to make the post in a hurry because I had to get off the internet.

Right. As if Video really DID. I say, down to the REAL culprits of the problems of the music industry... the recording companies!

The song I posted is probably what is going to happen. The internet will open up a whole new era of free information and content, and thanks to the creativity of the public, the big businesses won't be able to do a thing about it.
