Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ Simsense killed the Internet Star?
Posted by: ShadowDragon8685 Feb 8 2007, 04:26 AM
I'm not a good lyricist, but I think this timeless classic should be re-updated. But first, some history.
In 1979, a band called the Buggles made a song called "Video Killed the Radio Star". Ironically, in 1981 when MTV launched, the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWtHEmVjVw8 was their debut broadcast.
In 2000, eStudio.com parodied this with an http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiB0VgOKojg by the Broad Band.
2060. Isen't it time for Simsense to Kill the Internet Star? (Matrix star, maybe? 
)

heh. well, the thing is, how do people get most of their simsense? through the Matrix. so it'd actually be more like "simsense and Matrix technologies killed all other forms of media, ever". except that's hard to rhyme.

More like Simsense killed the Trideo star, only it didn't just like video did not kill the radio star. Radio and video simply have found different niches, just as Trideo and simsense will in the future.

Ditto hyz. It just splits the nuyen another couple of times, leads to new technologies and content delivery methods, so on and so forth.

So, what...
Trideo killed the Internet Star?
Matrix killed the Trideo Star?
Simsense killed the Trideo Star?

I think the ironic part is that it didn't come true... So the question is how to update the irony...
I'd recomend ,"Simsense killed the trideo star."

it was the trideo star in the AZT host with the candlestick.

How about "MTV killed the Video Star?"
But that's not very SRish.

I traced you on the matrix back in twenty-sixty-two,
jacked in, intent on operating Analyze Icon on you,
I was young and your host's access rating stopped me coming through,
Fast-jack...
You were the best decker you could be,
Back when simsense was new technology,
Now when people walk the streets the matrix they can see,
Fast-jack
And the otaku,
Fast-jack,
What did you tell them?
Wireless killed the wiz decker,
Wireless killed the wiz decker.

good start but I think the best palcxe to go is "Trideo killed the simsense star"
it's got the same meter.

Just thought I'd edit this and finish it a bit... (Edited and checked against the http://www.lyricsondemand.com/onehitwonders/videokilledtheradiostarlyrics.html)
I traced you on the matrix back in 'sixty-two,
Jacked in, intent on using Analyze on you,
I was young and your host stopped me coming through,
Fast-jack...
You were the best decker you could possibly be,
Back when simsense was the new technology,
Now when people walk the streets the matrix they can see,
Fast-jack
And the otaku,
Fast-jack,
What did you tell them?
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
AR came and broke your heart
Cap-i-tan Chaos
And now we meet in an abandoned Matrix Node,
We live the simsense and it seems not long ago,
And you remember the newbies used to cry,
"Fast-Jack!"
You were the best one.
Fast-Jack
You are the last one.
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
In my head and in my deck, we can't reboot - we've gone too far
Cap-i-tan Chaos
Cap-i-tan Chaos
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
In my head and in my deck, we can't reboot - we've gone too far
AR came and broke your heart, put the blame on RCS
((You are a wizzer decker.))
((You are a wizzer decker.))
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker,
Wireless killed the wizzer decker ((you are a wizzer decker))

incidently, the radio star, was the skits they had done. like amos and andy. The voice actors didn't "look" the part when tv hit, so that type of star died off. They weren't talking about songs.
yeah! me use noggin'!!!
