Video killed the radio star

I learned that the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles came out in 1979. I am sad that the game Killer Frequency, which canonically takes place in 1987, didn't reference it as a joke (probably because of copyright, but oh well). The songs written for the game already have a few horror/slasher/death puns, so I feel it would fit right in!

Side note: the Pentatonix version of the song from when they were on The Sing Off is pretty fun.

I’m honestly shocked the radiostatic shippers haven’t been referencing this song 😂

Video didn't kill the radio star. The radio star lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
