"Internet Killed the Video Star" by the Limousines from the album Get Sharp. 2010.
I really hope you see that obvious connection to the Buggles' 1979 New Wave song of the endtimes. If not, you should consider catching up on one-hit wonders of old. Nonetheless. the sheer popularity of "RADIO Killed the VIDEO Star" has no doubt inspired countless rip-offs similar to Limousines song I'm featuring this week. As easy as it would be to google the snowclone "X killed the Y star", the number of people jumping on the phrase is an irrelevant point to my amazement with this song. The Buggles' hit defined an era. "Internet Killed the Video Star" comes closer to any other song I know in achieving that same magnitude.
