Classic New Wave Music Video by the BugglesVideo 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."

well yeah maybe the 'beginning' of the music videos, but it indeed killed the radio. but youtube kills it all.. and that's how it is one day someone was on the top and the next the day the new one is on there. and that's how it is, there's always a new idea just waiting to surface..and when you start complaining about it, that is usually a sign of aging and wisdom, i think.yeah, sorry if i dont make any sense///
