  • Really cool video! Totally New Wave, with a lot of unexpected moments.

    Great song too, I haven't heard the album but this definitely makes me want to investigate it.

  • @Jarren202 The remastered CD of this album came out a year or two ago and it was very nicely done with some extra tracks.

  • Ronnie Corbets got an amazing voice ;)

  • @expurgatetor

    Okay, I give up. I know Geoff Downes and Trevor Horne, but who is Ronnie?

  • @morrisonAV - look up "The Two Ronnies'- an old BBC comedy duo, you'll have a laugh!

  • @kelsman59

    I'm familiar with The Two Ronnies, but what did they have to do with The Buggles? Just curious.

  • Fantastic. Was this the offical music video or filmed for the show? Buggles were so ahead of their time it's almost scary.

  • @seandiggitious The video is visionary: what Trevor wrote has become since then reality: junk GMO food, plastic surgery, stupidication and common intellectual poverty - you can carry on with those phenomena without an end: this is truly the postmodern, plastic age!

  • @johnlovesbridge This was the video

  • this is easily my favorite song ever written... it is truly amazing, the sound, the vocals, the kick up when the chorus begins... truly amazing..... but what the fuck is up with this video????

  • Have loved this since I was a kid and the whole album is brill, not just "Video Killed the Radio Star."

  • @Jarren202 One of the greatest albums ever made,I play it on a very regulat basis.

  • Great stuff..used to watch 'Hollywood Heartbeat' all the time..and it WAS my first introduction to The Buggles....

  • @morrisonAV  nothing lol but a certain physical resemblance between a younger Trevor Horne and a much younger Ronnie Corbett.

  • I believe Geoff Downes can fly.

    (With the help of a Prophet 5.)

  • Stunning song! Why wasn't this a bigger hit as Video killed the radio star??....

  • 2 people prefer the paper age over the plastic age
