Fun Fact: This was the first song that played on MTV.

[DavidRay-ypht]

Many people do not realize this song is actually from 1979 -- it peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1979. So these lyrics, as prophetic as they were, was both retrospective AND prospective in the 1970s!

How have I been listening to this my whole life and am now just realizing how serious the lyrics are? They’re actually telling a story about the state of music, even for the 80’s, this is timeless!

"Radio's NOT dead! But it is ending THIS brodcast."

In all seriousness I actually remember hearing this on the radio (Oddly enough) growing up since my parents were big on going places during the weekends and we spent a good deal of time in the car. It just took me until I was in my teens to really understand what it was about. And of course was the first song that came to mind during that fight in Hazbin.

“You’ll have to try harder than that next time, old pal”

My Dad gave me my love for music, he used to randomly make mix CDs for the family when we went on visitation and I distinctly remember him putting this on for me❤miss u Dad, I hear you in every song that was ours❤RIP

Happy Birthday MTV turning 43 on this day August 1st. I remember the countdown and then this video playing first back in 1981. Changed music forever. The 80's rocked!!!

[ENGELBRUTUS]

And now Internet killed the Videostar.

[RocKzz_]

Heard for the first time on GTA VC & loved it from then... ❤

Video killed Radio
DVD killed Video
Itunes killed CD
Netflix killed DVD

But nothing killed this song as it still a classic and something to groove with while playing GTA Vice City.

R.I.P Linda Allan who sang the superb backing vocals on this excellent song. She sadly passed away in 2015.

[townicus]

This song still sounds so futuristic to me and it came out in 1979!

[Broken_beam]

Vox probably listened to this on repeat when Alastor disappeared....

[zalayharsankar]

I am...the movie Love at First Sight featured this song...love it...reminder of Queen 's tribute to radio.🎉

[Godzillakingofkaiju]

Suddenly this becomes so much scarier after watching DBZ Abridged.
