The Buggles ~ Video Killed The Radio Star 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

[@cleejackson7875]

Here's something that neither the video nor the internet can kill: the wonderful mix that you just made. It's one of the disco/new wave songs that truly deserves an extraordinary extension. What a purrfect touch to an already wonderful classic! You keep rockin', DJ Disco Cat!!!

This takes me back…I was in middle school when this came out and I thought it was the coolest song I’d ever heard. As an adult - who is a professional classical musician - I’m still in awe of this song. There’s real musicianship here.

I saw this video when it first came out in MTv and it got a ton of airplay. I told myself I would have little chance of ever meeting Geoff Downes. Years later have hung out with him on multiple occasions, calls me by name, and I gave him a stage suggestion for his rig, that he uses to this day. Great guy!

[@guillermosanchez1238]

Increíble versión del tema, la mujer de negro, the hollies, de las mejores décadas del mundo, 60,70,80, y algo de los 90s, está canción de los 70s, rompe todo, es sencillamente inmortal, es como digo yo ,para tumbar la casa.

[@paradise5534]

This song is amazing! It kinda foreshadowed what music would become like in the following decade, the 80s.

[@Douglas-jr2pf]

Honestly, I love the extra bit at the end. It makes me feel wistful and sad but in a good way. It perfectly illustrates the song.

I was born in 1990. When I was growing up as a kid this song was pre-programmed on every dance mat I danced on at friends houses and also on dance machines in every arcade I visited in England, UK where I am from. Fond memories to a brilliant song I fell in love with since the first day I ever heard it. Thanks Disco Cat, I love all your work. ❤

[@markmurphy8778]

Great work here DJDicoCatV2, Trevor Horn is a true innovator, his production methods were and still are trailblazing, he revolutionised the sound of a post punk / new wave band from Liverpool called Frankie Goes To Hollywood, his work on a very basic track RELAX turned them into global superstars, Trevor also played and produced with prog rock megastars YES, he has to go down as one of the greats, imo you have made a superb choice here, I’m sure just like TH you aspire to inspire, keep up the amazing work DiscoCatV2, I know you are definitely inspiring hundreds of like minded people right now, kudos to you, bravo, all the world is a stage 👍😎💪.

I heard you on my wireless back in '52 Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through Oh-a, oh-a They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see Oh-a oh-a I met your children Oh-a oh-a What did you tell them? Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-a-a-a oh And now we meet in an abandoned studio We hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go Oh-a oh-a You were the first one Oh-a oh-a You are the last one Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car We can't rewind, we've gone too far Oh-a-aho oh Oh-a-aho oh Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car We can't rewind, we've gone too far Pictures came and broke your heart Put the blame on VCR You are a radio star You are a radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star

[@vladimirenlow4388]

Many people, including you, would classify this song as disco. I always saw it as New Wave. Thinking critically, it has elements of both, representing that bridge between the two that took the '70s into the '80s. The lyrics, which commemorate the shift from one genre of media to another, also convey this transitional energy. Considering how MTV transformed and defined the music industry in the 1980s, selecting VKTRS as its first video proved an astoundingly prescient choice.

[@citroen143]

Hi! You are definitely right! This was already the typical techno new wave that would change the music for good. It is still reminiscent of "disco" but it's techno pop. We cannot forget that in 1981/82 Trevor Horn produced ABC. The second album by The Buggles is a masterpiece of British techno-pop. And that was a very refined kind of new wave! Thank you so much for you comment 🙂

[@samueljay4632]

@@citroen143This is new wave/disco, but not for the reason you say. Techno-pop took as much from disco as it did from new wave; Lexicon of Love was a disco record and Horn’s later work was with Frankie, an 80s disco band. Synthesisers were more of a Eurodisco thing than new wave (new wave was mostly punky guitar pop); what makes this song new wave as well as disco is the artsy conceptual weirdness of the Buggles.
