Home Taping Is Killing Music

from Slackipedia by The Slack 5

lyrics

C90 some synthpop duo from 1983
You won't find me at virgin megastore our price or HMV
No regrets, made you a mixtape on a TDK cassette
On the run for the recording of a brand new number one

Saw you on a Thursday evening
Top of the Pops you were miming
Roxy don't put on the red light

Home taping is killing music
Talk about pop music, it's a farce
Home taping is killing music
Rock 'n Roll is on it's arse

From the start your little boyband is riding high in the charts
Pop princess acting like divas in order to get success
So relax, take out your wallet and pay the right amount of tax
Medium wave gave you a knighthood for services to misbehave

It's the same each Thursday evening
The TVs awash with offenders
Do you really wanna make me cry?

Home taping is killing music
Talk about pop music, it's a farce
Home taping is killing music
Rock 'n Roll is on it's arse
