Desperate To Find This Song:

There's a song from the 80's or 90's with the lyric: "Star, that's what they call you.................. Video star."

I heard it in a club the other night, and asked the dj what it was. He said he didn't know, and that it was just a white label that had been delivered.

I'd be really gratefull if someone could help. Thanks...

Video Killed the Radio Star, by The Buggles maybe?

This is the song... but if a DJ was playing it, it may sound totally different from the original because they lay new sounds over the vocals (I'm sure you know this..LOL) ... Either way I hope this helps

Artist: Kiki Dee
Song: STAR

Lyrics:

Rock 'n' Roller the games you play

High flyer see your names in lights

Temporarily social suicide

Oh don't you tell me it's rough.


At the top you get the cream of the crop

Image seekers they're unreal to real

This week breaker

Well next week who knows

Oh don't you tell me it's rough

Oh don't you tell me it's tough.


Star

That's what they call you

How long you've waited to get where you are

Star

That's what you wanted

This week hot shot. a video star:


Rock 'n' Roller inventing in your head

You cracked it once and you can do it again

Who knows, who cares at where you're coming from

Oh don't you tell me it's rough.


Just a loner out there on your own

Don't let anyone get close or near

Imagine that. that you believe all you read

Oh don't you tell me it's rough

Oh don't you tell me it's tough.


Star

That's what they call you

How long you've waited to get where you are

Star

That's what you wanted

This week hot shot, a video star


They can build you up

And they can break you down

With just the right words

I know they're heavy

Now just how many

More like you are trying, trying.


Star

That's what they call you

How long you've waited to get where you are

Star

That's what you wanted

This week hot shot, a video star.

Cheers Jaki. It's been sending me up the wall. I can sleep now. xx
