Classic New Wave Music Video by the Buggles Video Killed the Radio Star" is a 1980s New Wave song (released in 1979) by the British group Buggles that celebrates the golden days of radio. With broadcast-quality vocals and a bouncy rhythm, the song plays like a jingle. A fitting sound, given the song tells of a singer whose career is cut short by television. Horn has said his lyrics were inspired by the J.G. Ballard short story "The Sound-Sweep," in which the title character, a deaf and dumb boy vacuuming up stray music in a world without it, comes upon an opera singer hiding in a sewer. He also felt "an era was about to pass."

    January 9th, 2009 at 06:21:30 Wow. Blast from the past. I can remember the first time I saw MTV in 6th grade...kinda like the first shuttle explosion when I was in high school, announcement came over the PA. Teacher responded, "Ya win some, ya lose some" and went back to teaching. This is a little better ;-) Thanks for posting it.

    January 9th, 2009 at 07:30:27 It's kind of ironic, how the song actually was released in 1979, just before music videos. It actually refers to how television in the 1960s killed radio from the 1950s. The writer laments how children can't appreciate radio. You could write the same thing now about how the children today can't appreciate libraries or any movie produced before 1990. I wonder if our parents felt the same way.

    January 9th, 2009 at 09:25:22 In plenty of ways, this song was seen as eerily prophetic. Music Videos are preferred more than radio by most folks these days. I like it, though.
