Lyrics

As performed by Kj Ohnstad & Brad Weiss

I read your columns back in 1992
A lot of talk about just how the Skins would do
I was a fan, so I was counting on your view

Oh-a oh

They took your writing style and philosophy
Hijacked by guys using some new technology
And now we know the problems that would be

Oh-a oh

They stole your column.
Oh-aoh

How could this happen?

The Internet killed the newspaper star
The Internet killed the newspaper star

Raju came and broke our hearts
Oh-a-a-a oh

And though you yodel on TV and radio
We miss those columns that now seem so long ago
And still remember your career before this show

Oh-a oh

Remember Sports
Oh-a oh

Remember Style

The Internet killed the newspaper star
The Internet killed the newspaper star

On the page in dark black ink, its taken papers to the brink . .

A parody of Buggles, "Video Killed the Radio Star"
