Dubbing Killed the Anime Star

By: Shelley

(Sung to the tune of "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles, from the album The Age of Plastic, 1981[?])

I heard about you on the net in '92
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your genius mastery
Rewritten by censors and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

Oh-a oh
I met Naoko
Oh-a oh
What did you tell her?

Dubbing killed the anime star
Dubbing killed the anime star
Dubbers came and broke your heart

Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in a fansubber studio
We see the original and it seems so long ago
And you remember how the songs used to go

Oh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a oh
You were the last one

Dubbing killed the anime star
Dubbing killed the anime star
In my mind and in my VCR, we can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

Dubbing killed the anime star
Dubbing killed the anime star
In my mind and in my VCR, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Dubbers came and broke your heart, put the blame on D-I-C.

You are an anime star
You are an anime star
Dubbing killed the anime star
Dubbing killed the anime star
Dubbing killed the anime star
