What is the first music video

You remember seeing?

Mine was the one for Sledge-hammer by Peter Gabriel. I was at my grandma's house. Even when I hear the song today, I see the video playing in my head! I don't know why it made such an impression on me.

hmmmmm that is a good one!

Like a Vigin

hmmmmm........

I don't know why but Vanilla Ice pops into my head! Ice Ice baby.........

'Video Killed the Radio Star' by the Buggles...... it was the first video on MTV... i remember faking an illness to stay home from school to watch MTV the day it debuted.

i was soo upset because i grew up in queens and couldnt get cable and didnt get to see mtv for a while after it first aired. i would make excuses to visit all my aunts on L.I just to watch mtv. do any of the queens girls remeber U68?

It was some Duran Duran video with girls mud wrestling. My babysitter was watching it and never bothered to shield my five year old eyes

Hi, and here I was feeling all cool for having seen the first MTV video and remembering exactly what it was! Thanks for the reality check!

'Panama' by Van Halen!

Oh, and I didn't see it on MTV - I saw it one of those UHF channels!
My parents didn't want to get cable. I used to watch Friday Night Videos just so I could see music videos and not feel like a total dork 'cause I was like the only kid in school who didn't have cable!

Yes I remember U68!!

I also remember watching Friday Night Videos & Hot Tracks

It was definitely Video Killed the Radio Star but I remember it being summer ?? maybe it was late august or early Sept. I remember all my friends in the neighborhood were so psyched - some of them didnt have cable so we all watched in my house. We always had cable, I remember back then we had that old brown remote control box with the big buttons on it and it had a wire that led to the TV. I LOVED MTV!!! I was about 9 or 10 when it debuted.

Another video that reminds me of that time was Golden Earring - Shoot that Poison Arrow or was it Twilight Zone??

MTV debuted on August 1st, 1981. There's a little bit of trivia for you.

Hmmm, first video I remember?

That's a TOUGH question, because I was about a year old when MTV debuted - it was always a part of my life.

I'm going to GUESS Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

Does anyone remember Nick Rocks on Nickelodeon?! That was all I was allowed to watch for the longest time - NO MTV, unless while channel surfing I saw a video that I had seen on Nick Rocks.

That Nick Rocks excuse got me a LOT of extra video time that I shouldn't have gotten.

I love this question!

Ummm...I think maybe it might have been the whole Michael Jackson 'Thriller' extended video situation thingie...

See I thought it was summer.....I totally remember it being hot out and not in school.

What about Dance Party USA - anyone watch that in the 80s - it was on USA network I think. Kelly Ripa was a dancer on it!

That was DEFINITELY the first video I saw also .. I thought it was sooooo diiiirty

then I think Cyndi Lauper and some Madonna videos were the next ones I clearly recall. Madonna's 'borderline' to be exact, where I thought it was soo risque that she was showing her BELLY ! (O M G !! ) LOLOLOL
