Piracy Killed the Video Store (MSP)

Piracy Killed the Video Store

Modern Song Parody (MSP) Baikanon

To the tune of "Video Killed the Radio Star"

I saw you on my laptop back in 2002 
Lying awake intent on downloading you
Windows 98 didn't stop me from going through 

Oh-a, oh

I saw you perform in your third sequel 
The series had lost the glamour and was kinda dull
But it was alright, I didn't pay for bull 

Oh-a, oh

I found a website 

Oh-a, oh

It all was free
Piracy killed the video store
Piracy killed the video store

Int'net came and broke your heart

Oh-a-a-a, oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We see the cameras and it seems so long ago 
And you remember, the theaters used to go, 

Oh-a, oh

You were the next one 

Oh-a, oh

You are the last one 

Piracy killed the video store
Piracy killed the video store

In my mind and in theaters, we can't delete, we've gone too far. 

Oh-a-aho, oh
Oh-a-aho, oh

Piracy killed the video store
Piracy killed the video store

In my mind and in theaters, we can't rewind, we've gone too far. 
Int'net came and broke your heart, put down the blame on hand held cams. 

You own a video store 
You own a video store 

Piracy killed the video store
Piracy killed the video store 
Piracy killed the video store
Piracy killed the video store
You own the video store. (You own a video store.)
