46 years later…

For those that don't know and I am old enough to remember this was the very first song ever played on MTV videos

I was home the moment MTV launched and saw this music video for the very first time. What a time to be alive!

My fave version

The next step from Video Killed The Radio Star is; A.I Killed The Musician Star.

Soon: 'AI killed the video star' 👀🤯

The first video played on Mtv.. ❤️❤️❤️

What will again inspire such a period of novel & diverse explorations? The '80s had a great sense & feeling.

fantastic

Would have been more fun if it was the original backing singer too

The Yes: Drama album he sang on is underrated.

FUCKING AMAZING

AI killed the video star

@KevyB1990 We can’t rewind. We’ve gone too far.

It's a pity that music with originality has been replaced with formularized music that all sounds like Justin Bieber. It either means ppl have run out of ideas or don't like anything that doesn't conform to some template.

Trevor Horn is also a brilliant producer, changing the sound of music in the 80's

Do you know who is the keyboard player in the original 1979 video? You will be very surprised. It’s Hans Zimmer!

ouwa ouw is better than ouwa ouwa, but ouwa ouwa does have more of that naive sillyness to it.

Wow, thanks for making me feel old Brian!😆

Hans Zimmer on keyboard.

I saw this premiere on and start MTV, loved it!

I just spent an hour with @grok explaining this wasn't an ai generated video. He kept saying he would correct the mistake. He lied. Sophie Grey doing back up singing in new video.

I heard this guy couldn’t get anyone to do the vocals on the day he had the studio. In order to not spend more money renting the studio another day, he did them himself.

Children conceived while watching the first video on MTV could now be grandparents. WOW. 😵

gosh! im so glad to see this🥰 thank you for posting!!

Man I feel old 😒

If I remember right, this was the very first video ever played on M TV .

🎶 internet killed the video star 🎶

First video on MTV 👀

I love this tune so much.

Did you know this was the first music video M....oh never mind. Everyone always says that when they watch "Video Killed the Radio Star".

This was my favourite song when I was 10 years old, no lie. 😂 Music videos hurt radio only somewhat but definitely pinched out the plain-looking singer/songwriters and moustachioed ensemble rock bands alike, as the format demanded more flash and good looks.

Where is Hans?

nice!!
