The Buggles made "Video killed the radio star," the first video to be broadcast on MTV.
You can argue that the first video shown really was the first commercial as people rushed into record stores wanting to buy Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles. I really don't know...product wise I'm guessing Coke or Pepsi. Or can you argue that the "I want my MTV" ad was their 1st commercial?? And for those of you wondering...Pat Benatar's You Better Run was the 2nd video shown.
The song was called "Video Killed the Radio Star", and the band was The Buggles.
