They remind me a little of Lolita No. 18. The world would be a sadder, duller, less weird place without Japan

Vive la Japon!

Fixed and thanks.

"Big ass router killed the bulletin board" isn't as catchy as "Video killed the radio star", but it is the same story.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'japanese, punk, cover' to 'lolita no 18, video killed the radio star, japan, japanese, punk, cover, the buggles' - edited by kronosposeidon

OMG I want one so bad, lol. Also, awesome song there. Video Killed the Radio Star, and any cover thereof, is amazing in my book.

I guess I ought to include obscure.

My family didn't have cable. I saw this one on MTV constantly in 1983 when I was at my fraternity house. MTV wasn't available up there (Starkville, MS) until late 1982. The guys had not heard of MTV when I asked about it.

I lived at my aunt's house from 1975 - 1987. She didn't get cable until she could no longer buy a television with an antenna. My sister took the initiative to have it installed sometime prior to Hurricane Katrina.

Wow that is an obscure one.. maybe Farhad needs a look This one must have been slow getting noticed since mtv debuted in fall 1981...

I'm still bitter Ant beat me to Radio Killed the Radio Star

In reply to this comment by dotdude:
I'll admit this is a more obscure 80s tune, but it is favorite of mine.

Who said video killed the radio star?

You can tell they've had this conversation a million times before and are both utterly exasperated with each other's positions.

> Who Killed The Electric Car ?

Wasn't it video that killed the electrical car? Or was that radio star?

This address to the studio owners of Paramount was pivotal for the young producer Robert Evans, as future backing for Paramount films and projects hinged on this. While narcissistic and bold it was effective in conveying what Evans envisioned for Paramount in 1971, it payed off with large box office sales and Robert Evans went on to produce Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, The Godfather and Chinatown.

This film was released for the first time in the 2002 movie adaptation of The Kid Stays in the Picture, an autobiography penned by Robert Evans. The motion picture adaptation of the same book was directed by Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen.

The movie chronicles Evans' rise from childhood to radio star to film star to production chief of Paramount Pictures to independent producer, his marriage to Ali MacGraw and his downfall including his 1980 Cocaine bust and implication in the murder of Roy Radin, aka "The Cotton Club Murder" and his banishment from Paramount Pictures, and his return to the studio in the early 1990s.

A wonderful film for anyone interested in the real behind the scenes of Hollywood. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303353/

The film version, released in 2002, utilizes Evans' narration interspersed with film footage from films such as The Sun Also Rises, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and The Godfather, along with interviews and photographs from Evans' life, to tell the story from his discovery by Norma Shearer for Man of a Thousand Faces, to his return to Paramount Pictures.

I believe the first video was Dire Straits, money for nothing, but I'm not sure and didnt google it

EDIT: ok, googled, seems i was partially right, as that was the first song on MTV europe, seems Video Killed The Radio Star was the first ever.

video killed the radio star..I duped it earlier tonight :-(

The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star. First music video on MTV August 1, 1981?
