🎶 Video Killed the Radio Star (1997) | Ken Laszlo, Featuring Jenny | Dance Classics 🇮🇹 🪩
🎁 For today's 🍭 Special Treat 🍬, we're continuing our weeks-long celebration of MTV's upcoming 43rd anniversary next Thursday. Last week, we kicked off the festivities with the original music video by The Puggles, and we're keeping the party going strong with a special video just for you!
We're thrilled to present #Italodisco legend Ken Laszlo's version of "Video Killed the Radio Star," featuring a special performance by Jenny. The video we made is packed with 80s cultural references and a message that will surely hit home for all of us Gen Xers. We know you kept the party going through the 80s and 90s with Italo Disco and rave culture, so this nostalgic trip is the perfect way to keep the good times rolling.
🧑🏫 About the Song:
Video Killed the Radio Star was originally released by The Buggles in 1979 and became an international hit. Its music video holds a special place in history as the very first music video aired on MTV on August 1, 1981. The song captures the shift in the music industry as television began to play a more significant role in music promotion, overshadowing traditional radio stars.
🌟 80s and 90s Music Scene:
The 80s were a transformative decade for music, with the emergence of new wave, synth-pop, and the iconic sounds of Italo Disco. Artists like Ken Laszlo brought a distinct energy to the dance floors, blending catchy melodies with electronic beats. As the 90s rolled in, rave culture took the world by storm, evolving the music scene with its high-energy tracks and underground vibes. This era of musical evolution is a testament to the enduring legacy of genres that continue to inspire artists today.
Join us in this nostalgic celebration and let Ken Laszlo's rendition featuring Jenny take you back to the golden days of MTV and beyond.

🎤 LYRICS:
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh I met your children
Oh-a oh what did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a oh - You were the first one
Oh-a oh - You were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
