The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star

The first music video to be shown on MTV!

The Buggles^[1][2] are an English New Wave band consisting of Trevor Horn (vocals, bass guitar, guitar) and Geoff Downes (keyboards, drums, percussion). They are remembered for their 1979 debut single "Video Killed the Radio Star" that was #1 on the singles chart in 16 different countries.^[3] Its music video was the first to be shown on MTV in the U.S. at 00:01 on 1 August 1981.

So much better than the will.i.am ft. Minaj's Check Me Out. Sorry, Ms. Cheryl Cole was just plastered onto their video clip to sell the song to the UK (so that the Buggles fan wouldn't kill them... hopefully. UK pride... not).
