I want my mtv hahaI dont see Dire Straights singing that anytime soon!

so do i
somebody Please bring back old MTV!!!

oh! i agree with justin!! mtv is dead and i hate all those shows they have on there.. such as sweet sixteen

i used to be obsessed with that song video killed the radio star. it's a catchy song.

I have to say i think you are right Michelle!!! What happend to MTV!!!!!

I miss the mtv of the 80's

when mtv started there were no commercials and 24 hours of music sometimes. It was great. now all the reality shows really bore the music channels to death. VH1 is still pretty good though.

Want to see this video? Go to pcplanets.com

Today its all about how great you look and money!!! I cant stand all those sweet sixteen crappy shows

Whatever happened to playing videos on a video station??? That was the whole purpose of tuning in, was to watch all the old videos we have enjoyed over the years. The current programming really needs to be reviewed and get back to the basics. Get Lynn back on doing her video thing!!!!

I remember that song. I didnt know it was the first one ever played on mtv. VH1 should definitly have this video

I saw that, too. It's the weirdest thing.

Ringo, have you noticed the front page of the message board
is two to three days behind on their "latest post" listings?
Is VH1 Classic asleep at the switch or what? Makes it inpossible
to see if someone posted recently.

I haven't seen it in awhile I'm sure it turns up every now and again. If you want to see it done live catch the Original Asia Tour if it comes through your town. Geoff Downes was with the Buggles before Yes and Asia and the band plays a tune from each members' other bands in the set and they really do a fun version of VKTRS.

First Trisha, please use spell checker or have someone proofread your
posts. To answer your question, your song is more than likely "Safety
dance" by Men Without Hats. It contains the opening line, "You can
dance if you want to".

i ahve a bet with someone, he says talking heads did the sonf "you can dance if you wanr to " but i cant think of the actual singer of the song ... i remember the vidie having ti do do with the singer thr flute player playing the pipe piper playing the one to get him to folow him out of toen folowing him out of town with the music .
can you settle this whole dolloe bet.
thank you
trisha true
