It’s been a “long time gone” since those “Babylon sisters” left me “Out on the weekend”, “Searching for a heart of gold”
They didn’t play their own stuff? Darn, thats a let down!
“Where have all the good times gone” is from a Van Halen song. Back when they were really good.
Is that the Hoff ?

I agree with your tagline:). the band that did video killed the radio star was called The Buggles. I remember the lead singer wearing huge glasses that made him look like a bug.
That’s it, the Buggles. I didn’t want to google any of that, I just fired from the hip.
I think I saw it on Wiki, and people at work tell me that was the very first video on MTV. I thought it was Pat Benatar but they keep telling me Buggles.
That’s a great Trivial Pursuit question.
