Eight track didn't make it it was twenty years old
Cashette'll be soon goin' right behind
Vinyl's back from heaven but the cost, wow, ugh
Though 120 grams really does sound fine
Reel-to-reel never caught on in the home
Now with DVD, you will see
You burn 'em easily
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
This Sony recorder lets you make your own copies
Like right from camcorder or maybe TV
Probably means this format here is basically dead
Like the magnetic spool or the minicashette
Though at one time they were fine
Now they're two more formats died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
Never had a chance to make an Elcaset room
And Laserdisc was shiny, but there wasn't a boom
DAT had lots of people carrying a flame
But DVD is what caught all the fame
This Sony's for home movie lovers
Don't you miss this deal, you mothers
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
Using One Touch Dubbing might seem aloof
Like the kind of thing you never even had in your youth
But unlike an old wax cylinder you'll
Give it some use
Hey, burn the output in 1080i
1080i? HDMI!
Unlike formats that died, died
All those formats that died, died
Those were formats that died, died
Those were formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
Beta got hushed up by all sorts of crap
And Sony held a grudge without any reminders
They said, Hey, we're gonna win next time
This will be behind us
Only Blu-Ray's not really catchin' on
Fast as they would like it
Just like formats that died, died
All those formats that died, died
Those poor formats that died, died
Those were formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
Eight track didn't make it it was twenty years old
Cashette'll be soon goin' right behind
Vinyl's back from heaven but the cost, wow, ugh
Though 120 grams really does sound fine
Reel-to-reel never caught on in the home
But now DVD, you will see
Can burn 'em easily
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
This Sony recorder lets you make your own copies
Like right from camcorder or maybe TV
Probably means this format here is basically dead
Like the magnetic spool or the minicashette
Though at one time they were fine
Now they're missing, they died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
Never had a chance to make an Elcaset room
And Laserdisc was shiny, but there wasn't a boom
DAT has lots of people carrying a flame
But DVD is what caught all the fame
This Sony'd be great for recording lovers
But this tribute's for you, my brother
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
Those are formats that died, died
They were popular, and they died
