Time machines do exist, I have several in my basemant as do many other enthusists; They are 80's classic arcade games, remember Asteroids, Pacman and Space Invaders???? These hard to find relics are only a quarter away from taking me back to when I didn't give a fuck about the world as it truely is.
@MarkFaust actually i did have all those i bought a atari 7600 with 4 controllers broken and a crap load of atari games for 10 bucks at ayard sale yrs ago and gav eto my sister take to her house lol wish now i still had those lol
The world is about to come to an end, so who cares.
I don't see U2 playing free concerts to help the needy or the sick, now it's just Gaga corpo-video mutant creations of robo-music merged together with porn to teachyoung fans not to expand one's imagination, but how to be sluts.
I was lucky to have actually watched this first video back in the day. Back in the day things were much much better than now for sure, today things are screwed up. I feel fortunate to have been an 80's child. The arcades, movies and overall attitudes of people are now suddenly gone. Oh well.
@MarkFaust You were lucky indeed. We were too poor to afford cable TV back then. In fact we were so poor if I didn't wake up with a boner on Christmas day I didn't have anything to play with!
@MarkFaust Not to mention our grandparents were still alive, & many people that have passed on since that great era. The 1% have TRULY made life miserable for the rest of us, it's time to start pushing back now. Enough is enough!
@MarkFaust haha yes, and someone said the same thing about our generation thirty years ago.... times aren't worse, just different. Sadly, the generation you are talking about are the children of 80s kids. If things have gotten that bad, it's our fault.
@MarkFaust I agree things much better in the 80's. First heard this song at about 1 in the morning trying to get to sleep listening to radio Luxemburg. Song was introduced as a brand new release. Couldn't wait to tell my mates in school next day about this great new song i had listened to! feels like it was only yesterday.
@lyneham69 me too first time i saw was on top of the pops back in the late 70s and i was eight ,, good days wish i was back at school with my young mates
People should stop bitchin about how MTV isn't for music anymore. True they don't play music videos anymore, but on shows like MTV news i learned of some really cool bands. If you wanna watch music videos watch Much Music or VH1. Don't hate on MTV
@PsychoGiraffe9 Theres a difference between auto-tune and this kind of vocal effects. This gives the song a different feel while most people just hide behind auto-tune cause they cant sing
I f i was president of MTV i would make so many changes, i would make a MTV REALITY for all those jersey shore ass holes. return great shows like headbangers ball, and YO! MTV Raps. i would air Jersey shore... for two hours 12 am - 1 am. bring back VJs, and MTV News. and return MTV to MUSIC TELEVISION, the way it was ment to be.
I am getting close to the big 50 and i remember this song when I was in HS, didn't watch MTV back then, no time. We left the house at 6 hung out and didn't watch much TV. But what great music in the 70's and early 80's.
I actually liked mtv like 7 years ago, i thought it was pretty good, it hardly had music on then but still kinda did and was a channel i would watch regularly(made, room raiders, boiling points, trl) but now i watch i used to be fat and jersey shore every so often. its just gone a step too far tho
Oh boy, the memories. I'm in my mid 40's, and I'll bet there are a lot of you guys out there who are my age that hear this song and have a flood of memories coming back! And wow, remember when MTV used to play music? Good times man....what happened?
US Corporate greed and a complicit US government killed MTV, the music video, American pop culture, creativity, spirit & freedoms ... in essence, America.
You can thank Viacom for taking MTV, VH1 and CMT in the toilet. I would would make a suggestion to flood Viacom's e-mail box and tell them "I want my MTV back".
The idea behind the song can be traced back to how the rise of "talkies" (movies with spoken dialogue) destroyed the careers of those actors in silent films whose voices wouldn't translate well to sound pictures, as depicted in the classic 1952 Gene Kelly movie Singin' in the Rain. As for rock n roll, there were bands whose looks wouldn't translate well to TV. I like the song and the band, but for the best possible example of this, search Kansas Dust in the Wind.
mtv back then was awsome something that you could have turned the tv on and listen to music butt now its a peace of shit with no music at all just shityass shows
how many are only watching this because they saw Pentatonix perform it and wanted to know what the original song was like? cause that's the reason i'm watching it
The outdated nature of this song makes it even funnier than it was intended because we went from DVD killed the Video Star and Streaming Killed the DVD star! lol
these days every idiot thinks he or she's a popstar, and todays youth is buying it, because they didn't grew up in the 80's, so we can't blame them that they had to grew up with no musical taste at all, and have to deal with al the horse shit todays wannabe stars trow at them.
i dunno whats more ironic..the fact that the very 1st video on an american (at the time) phenomenon was made by a BRITISH band or that the exact same band was making a video and bitching in it about what they themselves were guilty of doing!.
@tomhansonlover The little girl in the video looks about 9 years old. If she was 9 years old in 1981, then she would be 40 years old in 2012.
This is just a rough guess on my part, as she could have been 8 or 10 in the video, and I don't know when her birthday is. I'd say she could be as young as 38 or as old as 41.
@kanneebannee It's a great song set to bizarre visuals; everything a good music video should be. I don't fully understand what all the visuals mean, but I enjoy this video enough to watch it multiple times.
IT WAS CALLED MUSIC TELEVISION TO PLAY MUSIC!!!!!. NOW IT PLAYS EVERYTHING BUT MUSIC. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK MTV SHOULD LIVE UP TO IT'S ORIGINAL NAME AGAIN!!
@Lowgaen11 The viewers stopped watching was a major problem and TRL died. They dont care about what was on tv the internet/youtube is the big thing now days.
@PsionNinja Well, that was one theory, but it has more to do with the new Cosmic Panda layout that has people screaming. I've heard rumors that they nix'ed that idea, but it still says on my channel's home-page that all channels will be rolled-over to the Cosmic Panda layout on March 7th, like it or not. Cosmic Panda is difficult to navigate, hard to understand...it looks ugly and it lacks a great many features of the current design. There are apparently no customizing options either.
@MrSchultzstaffel It's essentially the death of YouTube. It's a process and it's going to be accompanied by a whole slew of Internet regulations. Count on it.
@BMcbugger Don't you know it! I worked for quite a while building and customizing a personalized channel for myself here...some like it and some don't...but their channel's as well as mine are about to loose their individuality here because of all these un-wanted changes that are un-needed and totally disliked. YouTube is gonna' change into something unrecognizable...along with a whole slew of new regulations and monitoring systems here...it was fun while it lasted people...but now it's over.
@MrSchultzstaffel The world is changing. The American Revolution - The French Revolution... The train... The American Civil War - The defeat of Napoleon... The lightbulb, airplanes, and perfection of the internal combustion engine... WWI... The Russian Revolution... WWII... The atom bomb... The 1960s... MTV... The fall of The Wall... Internet... The creation of the Euro... 9/11... Social media... Now 1984's Big Brother is looking to emerge all over the world. Crazy times.
@BMcbugger Big Brother is now global. And we're only one, nuclear terrorist attack from Big Brother being mandatory...and in that moment, the world will change forever...and we'll not know what we've lost here in this country until it's gone.
@MrSchultzstaffel You know, I watch old videos like this, and I think back to when I'd go over to my cousins' house and watch Mtv with my older brother and my cousins. Then we'd go riding bikes around the city. We'd go to an arcade. We'd go to the river and chuck stones. Reagan was President, and the Cold War was there, but we felt confident we were the good guys and that we'd win some day... Wtf did we know after all? Neither college or religious warnings prepared us for this.
@BMcbugger Well, bankrupting the Soviet Union was the right thing to do. We knew that they had suitcase nuclear devices in their stock-piles, and there was concern that they may fall into the wrong hands once the communist authority collapsed, but again, nothing was done. And all these years later the threat has been ignored. The logical target would be Washington; which would eliminate all three branches of our government in an instant and turn us into a police state in a flash. It's coming.
@astraeos123 Oh God, another piece of shit living in a God-damn fairy-world! Take your head out of your ass stupid! Muslims have had them for quite some time now. Did it ever occur to your stupid ass that terrorist and Muslims wait for certain calandar dates to launch their aggression? Like maybe December 12th, 2012? Or even December 21st, 2012? Making those dates 12/12/12 and 12/21/12 respectively? That's significant for them...but apparently way too over your God-damn dumb-ass head.
@Lowgaen11 every thinking person has to agree with your position. the ruggles were the perfeect selection to start the MTV era. It is too bad what they have become,
I was 17 when this started ... my ex from 25 years ago still brings this song up .. we saw this on the new thing.. THE NEW THING.... CABLE TV~~~!!!!!!
\
lmao ... my my how it's come so far since then. hey kids .. back then we had 3 tv channels... when cable come out it was like OMFG!!! more than one channel on TV!!!!
@jakester0852 What I can understand is that radio and radio-stars were popular, but when video came around, everyone stopped listening to radio and started watching videos...
MTV music videos use to be a great way to pass some time or do a little work around the house and turn them on and watch or just listen. Videos were fun and quick. Some videos were very artistic while others were exciting...but the most important thing was that they all had to be both entertaing as well as creative...which is exactly what MTV is not these days. There's absolutely no creativity or entertainment on MTV at all and the days of video were as classic as they are dead now. MTV is shit.
@KaelanFournierTV There was a time-slot for MTV cartoons. I use to love the futuristic "Aeon Flux;" I believe was it's name. "The MAX" was interesting...and "Bevis and Butthead" were entertaining from time to time. But that should be no more than 10% of over-all air-time. MTV videos had to have a good tune, an entertaining video to go along with it and it all had to be presented to the viewer within about 2 and a half minutes. That requires too much creativity for the MTV designers today I see.
@TheScottjp Hmmm...I just left this comment in passing a week ago and it's already the top comment here? Well, who knew? But I stand by what I said...MTV's program line-up of today wouldn't have lasted a week 25 years ago. The entire network would have went down in flames with the shit that they produce today. But the programing of 25 years ago, (with the videos and retro-music,) would be a tremendous ratings grabber today! But audiences have changed. I don't recognize them, (or MTV,) anymore.
@catinthemachine Reflecting back on it...the MTV of yester-year took a tremendous amount of creativity to keep it going. You had to have a number of musical artists who had actual musical talent who sang good songs, produced good music and were able to tie it all in to a video that was interesting to watch while MTV took the work of a large body of these artists and broadcasted it all for the viewers and then they let the chips fall where they may. But condisering the lack of talent these days..
@evthemev They could present it all in a different way if they chose to do so. They actually have the rights to all those videos, so if they want, they can have them all exclusively on their channel. I can't believe that we've degenerated from this fun and creati

@PsionNinja Well, that was one theory, but it has more to do with the new Cosmic Panda layout that has people screaming. I've heard rumors that they nix'ed that idea, but it still says on my channel's home-page that all channels will be rolled-over to the Cosmic Panda layout on March 7th, like it or not. Cosmic Panda is difficult to navigate, hard to understand...it looks ugly and it lacks a great many features of the current design. There are apparently no customizing options either.

@MrSchultzstaffel It's essentially the death of YouTube. It's a process and it's going to be accompanied by a whole slew of Internet regulations. Count on it.

@BMcbugger Don't you know it! I worked for quite a while building and customizing a personalized channel for myself here...some like it and some don't...but their channel's as well as mine are about to loose their individuality here because of all these un-wanted changes that are un-needed and totally disliked. YouTube is gonna' change into something unrecognizable...along with a whole slew of new regulations and monitoring systems here...it was fun while it lasted people...but now it's over.

@MrSchultzstaffel The world is changing. The American Revolution - The French Revolution... The train... The American Civil War - The defeat of Napoleon... The lightbulb, airplanes, and perfection of the internal combustion engine... WWI... The Russian Revolution... WWII... The atom bomb... The 1960s... MTV... The fall of The Wall... Internet... The creation of the Euro... 9/11... Social media... Now 1984's Big Brother is looking to emerge all over the world. Crazy times.

@BMcbugger Big Brother is now global. And we're only one, nuclear terrorist attack from Big Brother being mandatory...and in that moment, the world will change forever...and we'll not know what we've lost here in this country until it's gone.

@MrSchultzstaffel You know, I watch old videos like this, and I think back to when I'd go over to my cousins' house and watch Mtv with my older brother and my cousins. Then we'd go riding bikes around the city. We'd go to an arcade. We'd go to the river and chuck stones. Reagan was President, and the Cold War was there, but we felt confident we were the good guys and that we'd win some day... Wtf did we know after all? Neither college or religious warnings prepared us for this.

@BMcbugger Well, bankrupting the Soviet Union was the right thing to do. We knew that they had suitcase nuclear devices in their stock-piles, and there was concern that they may fall into the wrong hands once the communist authority collapsed, but again, nothing was done. And all these years later the threat has been ignored. The logical target would be Washington; which would eliminate all three branches of our government in an instant and turn us into a police state in a flash. It's coming.

@astraeos123 Oh God, another piece of shit living in a God-damn fairy-world! Take your head out of your ass stupid! Muslims have had them for quite some time now. Did it ever occur to your stupid ass that terrorist and Muslims wait for certain calandar dates to launch their aggression? Like maybe December 12th, 2012? Or even December 21st, 2012? Making those dates 12/12/12 and 12/21/12 respectively? That's significant for them...but apparently way too over your God-damn dumb-ass head.

@jakester0852 What I can understand is that radio and radio-stars were popular, but when video came around, everyone stopped listening to radio and started watching videos...
That's what I can understand.

MTV music videos use to be a great way to pass some time or do a little work around the house and turn them on and watch or just listen. Videos were fun and quick. Some videos were very artistic while others were exciting...but the most important thing was that they all had to be both entertaing as well as creative...which is exactly what MTV is not these days. There's absolutely no creativity or entertainment on MTV at all and the days of video were as classic as they are dead now. MTV is shit.

@KaelanFournierTV There was a time-slot for MTV cartoons. I use to love the futuristic "Aeon Flux;" I believe was it's name. "The MAX" was interesting...and "Bevis and Butthead" were entertaining from time to time. But that should be no more than 10% of over-all air-time. MTV videos had to have a good tune, an entertaining video to go along with it and it all had to be presented to the viewer within about 2 and a half minutes. That requires too much creativity for the MTV designers today I see.

@TheScottjp Hmmm...I just left this comment in passing a week ago and it's already the top comment here? Well, who knew? But I stand by what I said...MTV's program line-up of today wouldn't have lasted a week 25 years ago. The entire network would have went down in flames with the shit that they produce today. But the programing of 25 years ago, (with the videos and retro-music,) would be a tremendous ratings grabber today! But audiences have changed. I don't recognize them, (or MTV,) anymore.

@catinthemachine Reflecting back on it...the MTV of yester-year took a tremendous amount of creativity to keep it going. You had to have a number of musical artists who had actual musical talent who sang good songs, produced good music and were able to tie it all in to a video that was interesting to watch while MTV took the work of a large body of these artists and broadcasted it all for the viewers and then they let the chips fall where they may. But condisering the lack of talent these days..

@evthemev They could present it all in a different way if they chose to do so. They actually have the rights to all those videos, so if they want, they can have them all exclusively on their channel. I can't believe that we've degenerated from this fun and creati
