BUGGLES - The Plastic Age ►TOTP 7.2.80

[MalcNedd62]

If I'm not much mistaken, isn't that guitarist Keith Winter, who later ended up in Shakatak?

[allsopman]

lol steve wright at the beginning , not shown, making fun of geoff downes and his washing up gloves!!!!!!!!!

[nikobelic25000]

Thax for uploading i sub u

[ePhilosopher9]

They send the heart police

to put you under cardiac arrest

and as they drag you through the door

they tell you that you've failed the test

great chord progression omg

2011 timeless

[louluvscats]

This guy is so talented,being a artist and producer of brilliant songs for himself and groups he produced in the early days, ie ABC,Dollar,Frankie Goes to Hollywood etc,etc,etc.Trevor Horn is the tops.Also he doesnt need to prove this by making his own TV programme and being a Judge like Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh,who you really cannot compare or do they come close too, the genius of Trevor Horn.What a wizzard!!! Benja :-)

[BFLRproduction]

excellent son

[BrentChettle]

One thing is for certain! What was once futuristic is now post modern!!! There is just no way of making a match of 80,90,00,10!

[PeterPump1]

Apart from the sync problem this is absolutely great.

Memories, memories. Their best song ever?

[sodaspops]

***SEE NEW HQ UPLOAD - AUDIO FIXED**

[Kohntarkosz]

I remember seeing a photo that must have been from this performance in a book called Rock Hardware, back in the early 80's. I remember wondering who the guy playing the guitar was.

[MagicRos3s]

the 80's scare me

[topsyandpip56]

PLEASE FIX THE SYNC PROBLEM

[topsyandpip56]

The out-of-sync audio is rather annoying...

[allsopman]

when they played tis on bbc a few years back on totp 2, the guy doing the voiceover said "watch out for geoff downes doing the didhes during the show with his marigolds" very funny!

[xeractus]

MIMED

[topsyandpip56]

Its not, its just out-of-sync.

[clusterchord1]

this clip is out of sync, but the perforamnce is mimed as well.

this is a studio recording you are listening to. with backing vocals, tons of keyboards etc.. it was customary to lipsync in shows like these back then.

[Padulas]

the drummer is very funny

[sprintbass]

aria pro II sb 1000 bass he is playing looks like mine color wise

[HeartbreakChronicles]

a bit better than VKTRS tbh

[suregirl92]

Great song....but the worst dubbing I have ever seen !!.....lmao

[pazzensutra]

This is cool, but I'm looking for the original cheesy MTV video of "Plastic Age". Anybody know if it's out there somewhere?

[johnsposato]

It was here, but it was pulled.

[Padulas]

why?

[JarrodCook93]

Type buggles age of plastic into google videos and you'll find it on other sies.

[Padulas]

thanks....i found it

[nf0603]

am I the only person who prefers this to VKTRS?

[NitroBurner]

No you are not! Well... ok, I love this song as much as VKTRS. But still, I don't think VKTRS is their best song.

[zapkvr]

No way. This was better by a long way. Video was just too clvere I think. This was deeper - oh and it sounds a lot better.

[BobcatSchneidermann]

My definate favourite's 'I am a Camera'

[zapkvr]

Never heard it. Unfortunately Buggles will always be tagged a "one hit wonder" despite the fact they wrote some of the most original pop lyrics of all time. They were like Frank Zappa only way more easy on the ear.

[arthurmex]

Mine is "Kid Dynamo"

[mimiledu21]

c'est trop bien

it's vrey great

[Glamking1]

IIRC February 7th 1980. With Steve Wright presenting, The Buggles' second TOTP appearence of this song.

[777Kareena]

I think there is an other version of this song in a video, does anyone have it?

[oingofan]

is a ton of gay porn...

[ichbinstark]

LOL, what?

[bluesbrother37]

They performed this song 3 times on top of the pops.

[AndreSSReis]

hahahaha, as luvas da loiça do men, ganda zena!! como é q é possivel!!? liiindo

[hamster700]

the RSG version the mimigs awful on this

[Reint25]

Think before you post. The audio is just not in synch with the video, but that's a technical fault, not that of the Buggles or TOTP.

[exorcist1998]

Great stuff - I still have the single !

[ajs41]

Yes, it's Top of the Pops. Steve Wright is presenting, on his first ever performance on the show.

[topsyandpip56]

Was This By Any Chance For Top Of The Pops?

[Pittoop]

Wow, I never thought there was another Live performance of The Plastic Age! It's my favorite song. Thanks a million for uploading this!!

[arthurmex]

Sorry Paul, I have a mistake with the hand :P

I like this a lot, and, "Kid Dynamo" too, and, of course: "The Video Killed the radio star",my firts english song in my memories...

[Pittoop]

That's okay, I think if you come back to this page tomorrow, YouTube might let you rate again.

[arthurmex]

Ready!
