I Want My MTV (1985)

[Jaheartsjonas]

The only problem with MTV back then was that there were very few African-American or minority artists featured until Yo MTV Raps came along. :/

[babelifacemusic]

[lempeafeawintil]

[knthoja]

[LHarveySpades12]

I miss MTV in the 80s.

[tall32guy]

Nice! The heyday of MTV. :)

[lorireece1]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If I had it my way, every year would be 1985, and MTV would reflect it.

[irock006]

I fit in the target audience age of current MTV and I hate todays MTV and want the 80s MTV or 90s one cuz there was an EQUAL AMOUNT OF MUSIC OVER TV! Sadly...today's music sucks ass big time and wouldn't be sure if I'd watch it unless old videos were played too

[teknokrat1]

ric ocasek wants his mtv!

[MrNobodysfool1]

Why did they have to mess with a good thing? I think it started when they ventured out and stopped doing strictly videos. Remote Control was one of the early game shows. Then came reality shows like The Real World.....Then total CRAPDOM.

[REMCUREBOY]

God Mick Jagger was trying soooo hard to be a solo artist. I guess things just didn't pan out for him.

[laneatlileden]

strange that we asked for it back before we lost it. i luv full circle.

[Bobkat7730]

I was on Facebook looking at the MTV Weekend Countdown page and the guy on there told me that, and he was just saying this not Mtv, but he said that he thinks maybe one reason Mtv is not the way it was is because people can go on the internet and find music videos and they can just look up any one they want and there its is like you can on Youtube or any where now a days. What do you think? I say who cares I still want Mtv back like it was.

[bosswall]

oh the real mtv god i miss growing up in the 80s. 

[Heegoop]

That one person that dislikes this video must like Jersey Shore and all that other shit on TV these days.

[Hatebot123]

I WANT MY MTV BACK!

[TheInuyanma]

0:06. What the fuck was with that phone? lmfao~

[LilMissDougiePoynter]

this depresses me that i could never see the real MTV

[lordnewry]

@LilMissDougiePoynter it was good.. but i missed stuff of the 70's and 60's. everyone misses out on something so don't worry about it

[Wheeljack35]

I don't even know why they call themselves MTV anymore its more like empty tv now

[OldeSkool1]

@Wheeljack35 Empty TV. That's a good one.

[punkwarlord]

before MTV= music

now MTV= reality shows... 

[nazcarmaster]

I want there MTV!

[mrkingofkings]

The good ol' days of MTV.

[Benzinhead]

whats the background music at 0:16 ???

[STBNY]

because of shows like Jersey Shore, I NO LONGER WANT MY MTV!

[Heegoop]

Fuck Jersey Shore and give me the real MTV.

[b00mhauer]

Fun fun fun in the fluffy chair

whoof down a beer

[SullenMorbius]

bunch of lame-o's

[actoramsterdam1983]

0:18 haha stupid shot of Bruce Springsteen..

[andrewVeto]

now mtv sucks and no one likes it

[Heegoop]

@andrewVeto Exacty and if you say MTV sucks these days then people are going to say okay then. But if you said MTV sucks back in the 1980s people would say "no it doesn't so shut the fuck the up."

[lordnewry]

@andrewVeto Nothing wrong with MTV now... its the music these days that has the problem. Not MTV's fault

[andrewVeto]

@lordnewry meh not just the music though, people enjoy watching drama and thats what it is now. BUT since beavis and butthead are coming back, they will be showing music videos again very soon!!!

[tnaimpact]

@andrewVeto its all about Reality shows & it sucks! I only watch MTV for the Video Music Awards on that channel & thats it!

[TITUSPUNKER]

Definitivamente esa sí que fue la era dorada de MTV. Ver tantos videos y artistas de vanguardia que se convirtieron en íconos de varias generaciones en parte gracias a MTV. I Love MTV of 80s and 90s

[Panorama1981]

No one is cooler than Ric Ocasek

[Heegoop]

Boy Mick Jagger is so smart.

[Panorama1981]

@Heegoop LOL

[Heegoop]

This here reflects the Golden Age of MTV.

[Sparkina]

@Heegoop when Bowie was EMPEROR -- Waitaminnnit! Bowie's STILL emperor!
