When MTV began its broadcast on August 1, 1981, this particular video was its launching pad, so to speak. Watching it now, it seems both futuristic and retro concerning the way the sets were designed, hair was worn, and music was presented at the time. Listening to the lyrics now, I still can't understand its point but it's still alluring to hear it, even now. So yeah, The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star still enchants with its looks and sound.
