    An absolute classic, gives me nostalgia for a time I didn't even live in.
    I didn't grow up with it either, but man I wish I did. Has a similar bouncy energy to "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News, which IS a song I grew up with and still enjoy even though it was before my time.
    That aside, it's ironically sad. Video indeed killed the radio, and now it's internet which killed the video. Time flies.

      Considering how the radio announcer’s voice delivery of the lines like with “AND I REMEMBER…the jingle used to go~”
      It’s has such a subtle sadness in his delivery, like an 90 year old war vet remembering what life was like right before the 2nd world war broke out and how things used to be peaceful.
      Or something to that effect anyway.

There are plenty of good songs from the 80's- and plenty of shitty ones. Just like there's a lot of good music coming out now- and a lot of good music that came out of freakin Bach, for example. Don't limit yourself to a decade, you're ignoring a ton of awesome music!

    • @TheSaphireGamer48
      @TheSaphireGamer48 Před 2 lety +2

      Same bro, me Mum (actually me Dad) had an "80's greatest hits CD" (that when and me sister were young little lads we called 'CD's' 'Music Disks', because we didn't know the name of those things, thought they sounded better being called music disks, and that's it, plus though we listened and could remember this song around the time Minecraft came out, since none of us knew about it, we kept calling CDs 'Music Disks' and even after we found out about Minecraft from our cousins, we still probably called them that as a joke if you will. Anyways, personal, childhood back story out of the way, (and the Birtish speech jokes (since I'm not British, I'm American)), also another neat thing, around the same time Minecraft released, a few covers for "Video Killed the Radio Star" got released to, like the modern 2010s addition of the song by "Young London", or the fan made version inspired by Just Dance's version of the song, or the slow more sad-ish sounding version of the song by "Miss Lyus", but anyways, I remember every time at home and in the car, my parents always played the "80s greatest hits" CD, and this CD had some interesting cover art, it was blue, and made itself "try" to look like a very small Record Disk, and I think it had some white font that said what it played on the CD, but anyways, the reason why I'm talking about this is because for about 4 or so years, my parents lost that CD, and they played it for us for years, throughput both me and sisters childhood even, and now it's gone, I keep hoping and praying someday me or my parents or sister can find it within all of our stuff packed in the basement, and who knows where the hell it got stuck in or whatever. And dispeit it being some stupid little CD, it meant a lot to me, at least I can somewhat suffice myself by whating this video, watching it reminds me of the disk, the memories made, and music played, but since we're in the fucking digital era, we can search up and listen, and save whatever song is on our mind in all of the very devices created for all of us, rather than suffering from the fact you lost the only way to listen to songs you loved the most ever on something you lost, but despite that I can search up any song I can fucking remember from that CD, and from other stuff I just want to add to my personal playlists, I still miss that disk, I hope I'll find it soon, but since me and my family couldn't find it, our hopes of being able to actually find it, are low, I hope we find it soon.
