The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
Not only the first video ever played on MTV, but highly prophetic as well.
Now, for the best video ever, check out "The Replacements - Bastards of Young"
Forced by their label to cut a video for their major label release, the boys in the band crafted a B&W video of a woofer pushing the limit with a battered Converse Chuck Taylor tapping its toe to the song as it rests on an ottoman.....never do we see the band members...just the nealry blown speaker and that damn tapping foot. At the end of the video, the speaker is kicked over.
These guys always bit the hand that fed, and this is their big "Fuck You" to the powers at Sire Records....who just signed the band from Twin Tone to make them huge. The guys did not want to be huge, apparently.
State Motto: "Wisconsin, our serial murderers eat their kill!"
