The Buggles: how they made Video Killed the Radio Star

The Guardian had the other day a great article about The Buggles and their famous hitsong ‘Video killer a radio star’. I love that song.

I was moving to my first own apartment and there was cable TV in the house I moved to. This was unique in Sweden at the time, and we only had non-commercial public service TV at the time. I was exited. Now I would get a chance to watch TV from all around the world, including sports and music. And I did.

Already the first week in my apartment I remember that the cable company announced the start of a new channel only deficated to music, MTV.

So I watched the first broadcast of MtV and the first song ever played was…….’Video killed a Radio star’ by The Buggles.
