This is a very good remake. It tries to be it's own thing. I prefer the original, simply because A) It was a product of it's times, whereas this is slightly anachronous, and B) I happen to like the "big" synthy sound of the original. But it's a good cover.
Come listen to this single and more from the 70's, 80's - and now the 90's for the summer - on an Internet radio station you can listen to for free: "OffTheCharts!"
Go to Live365.com and type "Off The Charts" in the Search box. Click on the station logo and the station should begin streaming. There's also a direct link on my YouTube page.

A good cover but I have to disagree with it being equal or better than the original. It doesn't have the charm the original version had. I also don't care for the female vocalist in this one though that could very well be because the original used two and it gave a better sound.
That was kinda the point; it was meant to lament and symbolize the downfall of Radio and transition to TV, also supported by the fact it was the first music video ever shown on MTV. Though, I'm sure you know that lol.
@jobot23 you perfectly explained what you meant and they ignored you and kept stating the wrong point. lol sorry you had to wait 4 months for it. but yea in the movie he asks sandler "hey do you like flock of seagulls?" and sandler goes "i can see you do!" haha classic
buggles is a good version but this reminds me of the wedding singer! both versions are ameZin!! Buggles for sheer cheese!! but Presidents of the USA still kick ass!!

You know, it's almost impossible to find a good remake, let alone one that's better than the original. This is one of those extreme rarities.
