Video killed the radio star. Then, video killed itself. A murder suicide.
Who??
You’re too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past the café, but you don’t eat
When you’ve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you’re a rock ‘n’ roll suicide
They ruined our young women.
And now she’s married to Richard Marx.
It was hard to take seriously one Tabitha Soren doing the news.

I prefer to listen to the music and just let my own mind’s eye create the visuals.
I liked that cute chick on Remote Control. I remember Sandler would laugh out songs for contestants to guess.
Sting’s label threatened to sue Mark Knopfler for Sting’s opening line “I want my MTV” claiming it was identical to the line “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”.

Agreed. They are a large part of the problem.

I got that album within a few months of when it first came out.
But it was just about three months ago, that I solved an ancient mystery. I learned what the line from Rock’n’Roll Suicide “Don’t let the milk float cloud your mind” (on all the lyrics sites as “ride your mind”) meant. I was reading a British detective book called “Slow Horses”, which I subsequently found out is a TV series. It referred to a “milk float”, and it was obviously a British term for milk delivery truck. Which makes sense in the song, because the protagonist is going home at daybreak.
She was every dude’s favorite back in the day.
MTV hasn’t been about music for decades.
