Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now you understand the problems I can see

They will ignore them

Video killed the PowerPoint star
Video killed the PowerPoint star
Movies came and changed your heart

Oh, a video

You can make movies in your own home studio
Download and playback from the youtube video
And you can add them to Keynote apropos

Oh, oh
The audience won
Oh, oh
They will have more fun
