#TheBuggles #VideoKilledTheRadioStar #Remastered #MTV
the fact that this was the first music video played on mtv is so iconic
H3 podcast trivia 😂
It was also the one millionth video to be played and the final video to be played on mtv Philippines.
@@ylop598 YES I ACTUALLY CAME HERE FROM THAT LOL
And ironic
And debuted on MTV on 08/01/81
If MTV shuts down, this should be their final broadcast
if MTV banished ridiculousness and a bunch of cringy reality shows i will smack my remote and never buy modern tv's again because modern music is dead filled with shit ass random noise of reggaeton and tik tok music that it's going viral lately in the modern era
I remember watching MTV when I was a young teen and now its just plain crap.@@notkimpine
Fun fact: MTV in the Philippines did just that
@@notkimpine Well that’s a huge generalization lmao
To do that MTV would have to go back to playing music videos.
Funny how we've come full circle with podcasts. They're basically an evolved form of radio broadcasting.
Ah yeah, now that you mention it, old school radio Programme is making comeback through podcasts
I love my podcasts, especially on those long commutes.
radio killed the video star
All on what you like
I see!
“We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far.”
This resonating with anybody else?
AI
Actually, no. I'm happily doing a mental rewind, because music, (and society in general,) was better back when I was a teenager. You CAN rewind if you focus on what made/makes you happy.
No matter how far the future goes, or for how long it goes on for, we will always exist here in our moment that belongs to the past.
Especially resonating after the coming of AI
No, not me I prefer video stars
In 1983, I called my radio station and requested this song. After the song, the DJ mentioned my name, and the title, he said, "Hey wait a minute, I'm not dead yet."
Didn't get it

Here because Eekum Bokum killed radio star
Thats so true i came from vice city and came again when i saw hitler and stalin lol
This song marked the end of the 70s, and the start of the 80s.
And fittingly its a synth driven new wave song
Yepa
We had such bright hopes for the future…it’s true, we can’t rewind…we’ve gone too far….something has gone terribly wrong
q❤😮😅
No wonder they call Trevor Horn "the man who invented the music of the 80s".
"Radio's not dead, but it is ending this broadcast"
"Hazbin hotel quote"
Bro be finding this to say a quote from Hazbin Hotel

When I first watched Hazbin and saw the beef between Alastor and Vox, this song was my first thought

On this day 40 years ago, MTV was born and it was introduced with this video...
Happy 40th Anniversary, MTV!
You are a Radio Star ⭐
ua-cam.com/users/shortsFLa4beTfhcM?feature=share
I was there, working in Detroit broadcast radio.
Cha-ching MTV.
You helped my career.
A little late, but Happy 40th Anniversary MTV!
MTV was great up until the 2000's now it's pure garbage.
do u read quran,
If MTV ever goes away they should play this last song to remember it as MTV's first and final broadcast.
Seriously dude that a great idea.
You were the first one!
You were the last one-
Yep
MTV never dies. Although it changed across the years and stopped being liked by some people.
It went away a long time ago!
I hope people realize how sophisticated and complex this song really is. It really is art.
I hope so too it seems to be going over peoples heads
They do. You don’t have to mention how much you understand something every second
Progressive pop. That's why these two fellas were such a great blend when they joined Yes shortly after this album.
2024.....who's still listening to this timeless classic.
yes
why is this even a question?
of course!
Same here:)
me, i still play this on just dance
me with a smile on my face my friend
Fun Fact #1: This was actually the first music video played on MTV
Fun Fact #2: The lad playing the synths at 2:50 is Hans Zimmer, one of the most famous movie composers of all time, having created some of the best soundtracks of all time. For example Pirates of the Carribean, Interstellar, The Lion King, Inception and so much more!
Dune!
Wow I'm learning so much
A legend in the making. Holy fuck...
Did he do the "Miami Vice" TV Series soundtrack?
Hans Zimmer. mind blower
if youtube existed in the 80's, this song would have 1 billion views
The song wasnt that big back then

@Crush_The_Cranium here cause I have old parents who blasted this when i was a kid but hazbin is a bonus
The first music video broadcast on MTV...and thus history was born!
All jokes aside this is actually a really good song
@Wade Work so can rickrolling. But people still like Rick Ashley never gonna give you up as a song.
Context: some other dude was talking about repetition of songs but he deleted his comments. I don’t feel like deleting mine tho lol
@Wade Work yeah same I had One Vision by Queen stuck in my head for like three days, still like the song tho
this song has stuck in my head since my childhood and now i’m 22..
@Wade Work lol
Gimbo gambo
The lady singing this song (Linda allan) Was such a lovely soul, I looked after her in a nursing home when she was sadly passing away, the first thing she noticed when we met was we shared the same second surname.
She told me she was the singer to this song including her son (who was a lovely man)
And she was so proud, as she should be, such a beautiful song, makes me very sad to hear tho.
She was a genuine lovely lady, would always ask how you are and had a lovely smile.
debi doss sang the song too
Is this true?
Liam, thank you 🙏 for sharing this story
Raymond Nolan Scott exactly debi doss actually sang a lot of this.
Who sings the chorus?
Das ist meine Jugendzeit und es ist immer wieder so wunderbar romantich und so voller Gefühl
This song predicts the future. It talks about technology and computers. one of the greatest one hit wonders of all time. . I like classic rock.
i just listened to it after mixing some techno tracks. this was way ahead of its time by fusing disco, pop, synth, rock and trance type techno
The album "age of plastic" had several good selections. They were never played. Sirius/Xm on their "first-wave" station should play them.
A little trivia moment ...... did you know this was the very first song that MTV showed when they first appeared on television
Interesting
I did. That's actually what brought me here :)
Yeah I know. ☺I heard that trivia back in the late 90's when I was a 9 year old watching Mtv (not the zombie fake Mtv we have now). Very ironic. Video channel where they lament the radio star's death because of music videos. Thanks though.
Another bit of trivia. Can anyone name the original 5 VJ's?
Yeah, and that guy in the black suit in the back at the end is actually Hans Zimmer.
How ironic is it for us to hear this on the internet on UA-cam.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@raisa_cherry33 Love the irony -

ive been asked to steal your meme!
@@AAlastor_HH NOOO ALASROR🐺🐺⛓️🖤🖤
There will never be music like this anymore
same. they don't make old style of music like this and not writing the same modern songs anymore
Fun fact: this was the first song to be played on MTV on 1st August 1981, making this song extremely ironic!
Also, thank you GTA: Vice City, always having the best music 🥲
More like coincidence.
Vice city had the best radio soundtrack of all the GTA games.
@@zackzallie8735 the song in itself is still ironic, says 'video (as in TV), killed the radio' they still created a music video and had it play on TV
@@mafiaseargent I agree, love 80's music, but GTA V is close up there, and have so many memories from the rock station from San Andreas, don't remember much from GTA IV
More like very much on purpose--the song is saying VIDEO became more important than just audio, and this is the first song on _MTV_. It's not ironic, it's their friggin' theme song! :D
(even though the song is actually from almost two years earlier. heh.)
The “owa owa” sounds like it’s coming from a different dimension. It sounds so crispy.
I think it's because the sound effects for the male singer is as if he is singing on the radio. I could be wrong, but thanks I feel like someone thought of this not just me.
@@adorablegirl1559 Honestly that’s probably it. The audio is pretty crisp then a clear Owa Owa is played and it’s so sudden it makes the song better
You are a radio Star

@@payten8103 that remix isn’t that good anyways. It’s literally you speaking over the song.
Swift, dude
Anybody born in 1973 will love this song 70s and 80s I miss you 😎👍
The 80s or 70s or 90s weren’t that good
Born in '75. Still miss the 80s. 😎❤
I like how the song was called “Video Killed the Radio Star”, and it was the first music VIDEO played on MTV. A song about video taking over radio was the first video played on MTV.
I don't know which is more awesome: the fact that this is the first song played on MTV or the fact that he waited 25 years to sing this song live
Waiting 25 years to sing LIVE is awesome?
I'd second the former... idk who in his right mind would agree with the latter lmao
Not just first song, first ANYTHING. They played this video before they even showed their own splash opening.
GTA vice city... my memory
@@ragabashmoon1551 this not right.
They started with a countdown to a rocket launch, then the white smoke plums transit into a flag on the moon with the flag bearing the MTV logo that was flashing in the classic MTV pastel colour themes
Then the narrator says "ladies and gentlemen, let's rock and roll"
then they start playing this. It was quite funny to thing how meta it was - it was the start of mass video broadcast of music, and began the Music Video era of music - which was important as record labels knew it was an important way to advertise music. Madonna, MJ, Prince - some of the popular stars that gain masses via MTV

That's Hans Zimmer on the keys. The dude who composed the scores to Lion King, Inception and Interstellar!
One is Geoff Downes, the other is Bruce Woolley. They co-wrote this track.
And Miami Vice.
You can also see it in the video of the Spanish techno band Mecano, "Mecano in concert" from 1984 as a guest artist, almost at the end, together with the drummer of Ultravox

This video is over 40 years old and it still stands at the test of time
So the little girl morphs into her future self. Around 6 at the time, now 27 I assume (the future her) Song from 1979, she is supposed to be the "futuristic woman" from the far off year of 2000. Wasnt until around 2015 with the colored hair lol. THE IDEAL 2023 WOMEN ARE MEN-According to the sickos in the mainstream
BET THEY DIDNT SEE THAT COMING💁😓👀
That lil girl shouldve morphed into a butch lesbo with a double masectomy, or even Megan Rapinoe🤮
or from a lil girl - to a man - finally morphing into Lia Thomas🤯
Yes it does stand the test of time, and its as good today as back then. I would say this was also shot on film, as it has a high resolution most likely 16 MM.
The model in the pneumatic tube being watched by the little girl just gives me chills; I can't think of a better symbol for today's image-obsessed social media culture and what it does to kids from a young age.
it always will
Everything from the 90s or before will do because that's where we lost creativity because AI can change the pitch or speed of the songs 😢😢😢😢😢 unfortunately AI KILLED THE RADIO STAR
the best song to listen when terrorizing hell with my two buddies
_Like moon landing and first step of Neil, the Buggles & MTV will be always remembered in history as first music video aired by first 24Hrs Music Video Channel ever._
Let's take a moment to appreciate how crisp the audio quality is for a 70s song.
it is very clear i could hear instruments i didn't know were there like the hi hat opening and closing.
legit i thought it was from the late 90s early 2000s I had no clue it was made in the late 70s
Um, it's an 80s song with lots of 80s style affects/mannerisms.
Bubblegum 1 79 so technically still the 70s
@@jakenightmares84 ---- Has zero to do with the 70s. that was a whole other expressive Art form and style/fad of music, sound, and arrangement of instruments ---- and you could say, consciousness. the leap from 70s to 80s, in paradigm, is actually a big shift. they're also visually different.
79 is technically 70s. yes. but it's where you see the advent of new sound and imagery coming in...mid 79 early 80.

I remember watching this LIVE on TV on MTV back on August 1st 1981! 😃
I feel ya there
It was a wholly different time. There's not of the "essential" nicenesses we have today. Internet, mobiles, gameboy's (and the like) and pc's wasn't invented yet. The whole digital age wasn't begun. In that respect the good old days sucked. But we had a lot of time of our hands: We had no stress like we do now.
However, we lived in fear of Nuclear Armageddon. That was very real. Every Wednesday sirens in my country sounded: We prepared for the Soviets. I do NOT wish to return to that age. The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope. I, however, long for the 90's that were carefree. The West had won and the opportunities were endless - until 2001. Kind of like 1900-1914.
That is my perspective on the life I have lived.
@@nanorider426 Thanks for your testimony. It is certainly a different aspect of what most people believe. I hope you are living your life in peace these days!

Just wanna point out that the keyboardist at 2:50 is none other than the legendary Hans Zimmer! What an amazing career since, congrats on Dune!
Omg no way!!
Wow, I didn't know that! I love Hans Zimmer. He was the composer of the first Lion King film, along with Madagascar and many others. The Lion King and Madagascar are two of my favorite movies. Hans Zimmer's music really gives me goosebumps! He's amazing in this song. Having this song as the first song to ever play on MTV, along with having Hans Zimmer shows that this song is truly a legend.
@@jordennebeltrame8961 he is absolutely one of, if not, the best film and tv composers ever. Another bit of interesting info is that he has no classical training. Other than a couple of weeks of piano classes as a child, he is mostly self taught.

Really? Lol!!! Hahahaha!!!!!
the structure of this song still blows my mind. just when you think it will go back to the verse it goes to a section you dont expect keeping it sounding fresh and vital. and that bassline is still incredible today
If, by chance, you never listened to the entire album, "The Age of Plastic" that this song is from, I recommend giving it a few listens. Many, including myself, thought this song to be the weakest / overly simplistic on the album, and left it off if we recorded the album on cassette for our cars.
Trevor Horn and Hans Zimmer don’t mess around
@@latkagravas2967 completely agree. I bought the Age of plastic when it came out and was stunned by its quality of production and sheer musical talent. I used to listen to the LP on headphones just to pick up every little nuance.

Its true .. music and movies were just plain out better in past decades .. my theory is that because music and movies were so freely downloaded in the 2010's with alot of people not paying for entertainment it systematically decreased the quality ..
As a teenager right now I feel the same way
I'm tearing right now. Remembering the simple old times. GTA Vice City was AMAZING!
Video killed the radio Star remix.

God bless you
Yup this Automatic and Japanese Love were some of my favorites only known to me because of Vice City
We can't re-wind we've gone too far. So true.
Why 'was'?
The days when music was music absolute classic
Radio killed the video star...
If you know you know

Can you believe its been 40 years, today, that this was the first video MTV ever played? 40 years?! Man... I didn't even think I'd still be alive this long lol

well one guy got free from jail some days ago, he spent 68 years in jail so 40 years isnt that much if you think that way
Time flies and the world changes.
Soon every kid born in the 90s will be 30 or older
@@roddydykes7053 I saw a tiktok yesterday where a guy said kids at the school were having a school spirit days cosplay where they were dressing up as kids from the early 90s. Then he showed some video of them. They so did not look like they were in COSTUME. lol like, they just looked .... normal! I'm hoping someone duets it with how kids are dressing now so I can see a side by side comparison. The 80s, yeah, I can see that being costumish but...the 90s??? lol I could not wrap my head around it.
Everyone talking about the deep fakes, but did you know the piano player is Hans Zimmer?
Edit: to clarify, I'm referring to the dark haired one at 2:50
Woah, really?
Holy shit, it IS him.
No Way!
The blonde guy is Geoff Downes from Asia fame
@@kalani1987 Yes! And the dark haired guy at the end is Hans Zimmer.

vice city, Billie Jean
You talking about my singing?

@@ABHyt Just search "video killed the radio star" and it should be like the 3rd vid
This song is so brilliant we all haven't recognised it in the 80s. Over 40 years and it is still up to date.
What an absolute tune! The outro bassline in particular is fantastic.
42 years and counting. Great songs never fade away.

1980 was a great year and this song got the decade off to a good start.
43 years old! It came out during the summer of 79. It just wasn’t an instant success. Technically a 70s song 😜
I have this on vinyl and on 45 RPM
@@AYoungMusicianDude Exactly. You hit on the head. Good point.
Technically, the girl in this video would currently be 50 years old. Awesome.
Look it up on Wikipedia: Virginia Hey.
@@andrewthomas3930 Yes, you're right!
Virginia Hey was born in 1952. She would have been near 30 when this video came out.
Not the small dark haired girl, but one of the singers.
Just looked her up. Her IMDB says she was born in 1952 but does confirm that she was the girl in the video.???
@@dennishuffstutler9820 even if it doesn't this song came out 42 years ago, the girl looks about 8, her being 50 seems reasonable
No matter how hard they wanted the set to look modern it still looks 1980s❤
This marked the end of the 70s decade and the beginning of the fabulous 80s music decade and MTV with this gem of a song.
The kind of song you can't hear just once...
I heard this song, and watched the video , on August 1st, 1981. I was 15. I still revel with it. It's a timeless song.
I watched this 5 times the first time I searched it up
@@michaeljaneway9459 me 2
@@mynameisfriday118 I'm 46 and I remember seeing it when it came out 👍
Watched it as an 80s kid nonstop while I played my Atari 2600.
