Video Killed the Radio star was Number 1 for eight weeks in late 1979 in Australia radio charts. I was 12 (two years older than Darren) and music mad at the time. MTV hadn't begun yet (in late 1979), but I remember this song being played a lot on the free to air tv stations, every weekend "Sounds" with Donnie Sunderland (non stop music videos), three hours on a Saturday afternoon. and another similar (only in SA) show on Sundays ("Music Express" with Greg Clark??). Probably played on "Countdown" too and would have been show as a throwback, when RAGE started screening in 1987. It was a fun song to sing at school, imitating the megaphone part with a rolled up newspaper and doing the ooh oohs (as year 7 schoolgirls). We loved the music videos, so didn't really understand the opposite message in the song. Living in Australia, (where at the time, international acts didn't often tour, or completely left off their world tours), the videos were our ONLY opportunity to see the artists, that we would never get to see any other way. with the benefit of multiple decades, I now read the lyrics, and realise, Trevor Horn was predicting A1, which is happening now, back in 1979. Buggle's lead singer was the same Trevor Horn, who later went on to sing in Art of Noise and YES (eg Owner of a Lonely Heart). Trevor Horn is famous for producing so many other famous musical acts also SEAL, Malcolm McLaren, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Grace Jones, Leann Rimes. What a talent. Sing it live hasn't done an identical cover (different accent, no megaphone effect etc), they've made stylistic changes and done a fantastic homage to Buggles, love it.

To all those who tried to keep this man down, this is how you answer them. Churning out gold every week, creating something even better and watching karma do the rest! Beautiful to behold and a lesson for us all on how to win in life!

The talent of these people to recreate these classic tunes is incredible. They don't just cover the songs, they add their own touch that makes it their own. Always a pleasure to hear anything they cover. They do it even better than the original at times. They always look like they are having a blast doing this which makes it even better. They were one of the best things to come out of the covid lockdown era. They literally were a bright spot in the darkness of that time. Glad to see they are still keeping it going.

Fantastic cover guys as always production, top-class. "Video Killed the Radio Star" was released on Sept 7th 1979 by Island Records by The Buggles. An English band formed in London in 1977. It was the first pop video on MTV. The original idea was that The Buggles - a robot Beatles - would never be seen, but once the group had a hit they were as anonymous as an explosion. Hit the number one spot in no fewer than 16 different countries.

This is just Singit Live in a nutshell. A gang of friends who love performing and can put on one hell of a performance! Another 80's classic, obviously the first video played on MTV. But this being "videoed" with Darren's Ray Ban's in a mirror? That's a next level idea. I didn't work it out at first, thought Zoran was having a shaky day! Damo with a comic book cut out? Cool. Crafty was the lucky recipient of the ass slap this time rather than Nikki. I'm sure this will show up in future fun tracks. I don't hardly need to mention the singing or playing as it goes without saying how good it is. Harley must be loving this. Kudos from Matty x
