YuGiOh Killed The Digimon Star
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, or "Video Killed The Radio Star."
It was in 2000, not 1999, that I first saw Digimon, but you try making that fit. And I actually quite like Yu-Gi-Oh! But I had to comment.
All the bold type is sung, mostly to the tune of the original song. There's a hint of another song at the end and I don't own that either.

Matt: What's going on, Dream?
Daydreamer: Well, the thing is…
[intro kicks in]
I saw you on the TV back in '99
I was thirteen then with my lovelife out of line
But when I saw you there I knew that you were mine
Oh…
Now they take credit for the new anime craze
With cards and merchandise they've got us in a daze
And Digimon lone fans are feeling kinda fazed
Oh… I've seen your children
Oh… How can we tell them, that Yu-Gi-Oh killed the Digimon star
Yu-Gi-Oh killed the Digimon star
Joey came and stole their hearts.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And now there's just the fanfiction community
Arguing couples, though it's all the same to me
As I remember just how good things used to be
Oh… you were the first one
Oh… you were the best one
Yu-Gi-Oh killed the Digimon star
Yu-Gi-Oh killed the Digimon star
Still in my mind, still in my heart, but we can't go back, it's gone too far
Joey came and stole their hearts- they said they'd never leave, they are.
Oh… my Digimon star.
You… are my Digimon sta-a-a-a-ar.
Yu-Gi-Oh killed the Digimon star
Yu-Gi-Oh killed the Digimon star
Oh… my Digimon star.
[music fades.
Matt sits dejected. Daydreamer looks thoughtful. She flicks her all-powerful author's pen and vanishes. A minute later she's back with a guitar and a Freddie Mercury look (yeah, I know, it frightens me too.) She puts her hand on Matt's shoulder.]
Tell me, Matt, what's new?
(echo… My Digimon star)
[A group of other teenage girls from all over the world start to gaze into the studio.]
Listen, Matt…
[She opens her other hand. The room fills with pretty golden sparkles and the guitar twangs into life.]
Someone still loves you.
