The Presidents of the United States of America -- "Video Killed the Radio Star" (1998)


And now we meet in an abandoned studio,
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago,
And you remember how the jingles used to go?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star


The Presidents of the United States of America did a cover of "Video Killed The Radio Star" for the soundtrack of the 1998 movie, The Wedding Singer.

The Wedding Singer is a bad, bad movie.  Adam Sandler is NOT FUNNY.  (Neither is Will Ferrell or Steve Carell.  Neither one is in this movie, thank heavens, because then it would be even more NOT FUNNY than it already is.)

To add insult to injury, Drew Barrymore is UGLY.  (So is Julia Roberts and so especially is Sarah Jessica Parker.) 

It really is hard to tell the difference
Here's the music video for the Presidents' version of this song, which has some brief clips from the movie.  (For example, you'll see Steve Buscemi at about 00:46 of the video.) 


Here's a link you can use to buy this song from iTunes:
