Video Killed The Radio Star


The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star. YouTube via Barisaxman89.

This is actually one of two videos. Title link takes you to Failed Muso where you will find the second video, a current live version of this song that is simply amazing. Note the lead singer is the legendary producer Trevor Horn. This original video featured a MOOG Minimoog and the current live version features the MOOG Minimoog Voyager. Pretty cool. Anyone spot the others synths? : )

  1. It's worth mentioning, for those that didn't know, that the original video was the first thing ever played on MTV when it signed on in 1979.
