That’s me singing in that video in case you can’t tell.
Video Killed the Radio Star haha.
33 years ago, on August 1, 1981, MTV first went on the air. This was the first music video that they showed. What a great choice. Here were the first ten videos they aired:
“Video Killed the Radio Star” — The Buggles
“You Better Run” — Pat Benatar
“She Won’t Dance with Me” — Rod Stewart
“You Better You Bet” — The Who
“Little Suzi’s on the Up” — Ph.D.
“We Don’t Talk Anymore” — Cliff Richard
“Brass in Pocket” — The Pretenders
“Time Heals” — Todd Rundgren
“Take It on the Run” — REO Speedwagon
“Rockin’ the Paradise” — Styx
For the next three years, I do not think I changed the channel even one time.
Let’s hear it for MTV!
