Video Killed The Radio Star (The Buggles)

Posted on March 19, 2017 by luckyotter

I played this one-hit-wonder nonstop when it came out in 1979. It was definitely ahead of its time, setting the stage for the sounds of the ’80s and the MTV age.

We must be of the same generation. In a similar genre was the song “I’m Turning Japanese” from the Vapors. That came out in 1980 the summer I went to Japan at 16. Random?

I remember this song and ‘Turning Japanese’ – both memorable songs. Ah the eighties… The music, the hair, the shoulder pads… It’s only the music I miss! 😉
