BUGGLES Video Killed The Radio Star ► CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 1979

[wateronthemoon09]

love the buggles

[nikobelic25000]

this song says that the video on Tv and YouTube killed radio because we got mp3s now and cable TV we hardly dont listen to Radio no more unless you have no CDs in a car. But with CDs Mp3s and YouTube it just basically killed Radio because on radio you cant rwind we gone to far it means radio cant be rewind and it might be a while before the song comes back on but with mp3s and video you can rewind it but radio you cant rewind and in your car you cant rewind eaither unless u use CD

[kurisanhigurashi]

good song!

[abb5509]

wtffff at 2:41 she starts doing her nails on stage lol

and at 2:11 what is that in her hand it looks like a gun lmao

[jaco4c]

hahaha

it is a gun

[Gravida12]

The dark haired singer is "radio," so she is plain, and non-visual, and the blonde singer is "video," so she vamps and preens, very visual. The blonde files her nails during "radio's" solo, as if to say, "fffttt--who cares." I assume the toy gun is to symbolize video killing radio.

[innit27]

horn now working with robbie williams

[TheGodParticle]

Good to see the sluty singing blonde in this one. i was a big fan of hers back in 79

MILF now i'm sure...

[sdwbaps]

2:35's right girl

who's girl?

[silverstox]

@sdwbaps According to Trevor Horn from "VKTRS 2004 live. It's either Debi Doss or Linda Allan, the original backup singers for the song. Go watch the Buggles 2004 vid and see them as they are now.

[tad522]

i love the tall girl.

[BfMv573]

did the singer die? i noticed in the 2004 performance it was the bass guitarist singing?

[forder07]

the guy looks like kim jong-il in team america hahahahahaha!!

[HDN1956]

Great comment, LOL. Never mind the unfunny folks giving thumbs down.

[sketchesinthesun]

Cool- never seen this!

[Foziajungle]

Trevor is very talented cos I love this song.

[HDN1956]

Ever heard about logic ? Your comment contains zero of it.

[alliekanga]

A cross between Elton John and Joe 90 but good stuff nonetheless.

Those lassies were in the video for this they weren't part of the group eh?

[OwnageCiannard]

his glasses are dope

[IGotASnakeMang]

they sound better live!

[arranmc182]

shame they arnt playing live but still kick ass

[fremont699]

I remember watching this when I was 10 years old and wondering why one of the backing vocalists looked so frumpy while the other one was more sex kittenish. Then I realised the frumpy one represented 'radio', and the sexier one represented 'video' as radio doesn't have to be seen but video does. But does anyone know which one is Debbie Doss and which one is Linda Allen?

[dockwolf]

Debbie Doss was the one in white; Linda Allen was the other one.

I perfer Debbie over Linda...better vocals, IMHO:)

[topsyandpip56]

Notice how at 1:35 Geoff starts staring at Linda! LOL

[dockwolf]

Might be He's actually looking at both of them:)

Rumor has it that tthey had started work on a 3rd album...but, beyond putting down words for 1 or 2 songs, nothing ever came of it; they broke up shortly thereafter.

They might be re-releasing "AIMR" 2nd album sometime in '08 or '09...hope so...my vinyal copy's wearing out!

[BabyJayhawkFan]

Debbie Doss is the Brunette in the white dress. Linda Allen is the blonde

[maremagnus]

Woah! Time flies when you are having fun... (not that much by the way) I was like 7-8...

One of my first "pop songs"... and I loved it for long time... (still I do) great memories!

Thank you for the note (fremont699 and dockwolf) I never saw it that way, but you are right!

Wish that the world could use more of nice songs than the plastic ones of nowadays! Peace out to all...

[mgamegatun]

good times

[19delorean71]

a awesome tune

[ndr72]

idk why but this song is great

[flashtimeonline]

do i detect a little bit of lip syncing?

[svillechamps1]

this song is great

[willobi]

GTA VICE CITY love it big time.

[amy123455453]

Amazing song!

[davidsghost]

I love music between the years 1976 to about 1884. Music slowly began to suck from 1985 to the late 90's. Music has been good again. Not all 90's music sucked, but most of it did. The early 80's was HOT! in a cool sort of way :)

[arvydas0069]

yeah 1884 was a great year...the Dempseys came out with thier fiddle and peddle organ blue grass folk album

[Mattecarshop]

lol 1884

[stevester1970]

I love The Buggles they awesome, their music never gets old. Never..

[caprisunchikrox4eva]

yea....i agree

[russvc]

The presenters are Peter Powell and David 'Kid' Jensen, UK radio DJs in those days.

[uncagado]

wtf amazinggggg

[Bugglesfan79]

Of course they were syncing. In the real song there were at least 3 synthesisers, 2 bassists and 2 drummers.

[topsyandpip56]

Why is she holding a gun?

[conor540]

[Dice3000]
