Actually, Video did not kill the Radio Star

Today is the 30th anniversary of MTV, which used to be music video 24 hours a day (this hour sponsored by Skittles) and for awhile, this cable network had the best edgy programming, MTV actually died at least a decade ago.

Here is a live version of Video Killed The Radio Star by the Buggles, which was the first vid played on MTV.

Did you know that Thomas Dolby co-wrote that song?

Thank you for sharing the wonderful video. That's one of my favorite songs and I didn't know that it was MTV's first.
