What I marvel at is that Buggles singer Trevor Horn was singer for super group YES for a time.

Trevor Horn went on to become one of the biggest music producers of his time, working with artistes as diverse as Seal, ABC, Malcolm McClaren.

In the early days of MTV I think my tv was primarily tuned to MTV & ESPN

I don't consider The Buggles one hit wonders. To this day, I still listen to, " I Love You Miss Robot." Does anyone remember that one?
I Love it!

MY 1st MTV video (as a friend clicked a previously unused station button on my old cable console) was the Clash - Rock the Casbah!

Player #8977743, I've heard this before, they also said that's why you should use show exit. even if you continue playing that level (and don't use the exit) the points are higher. idk if it's true, but if so, it explains a lot!

Whiplashlady, are you correcting or agreeing? just curious. 🤗

bribiepete, I never heard of the Buggles until I watched them on MTV that first weekend. I remember we were moving into our first apartment, my best friend and I, and they repeated that first 12 hours over and over until they got new content on Sunday or Monday morning. Either way we loved it bc it was brand new and different from HBO and Showtime! lol.

bribiepete, I never heard of it until I watched myv. that first 12hours was repeated all weekend long! I remember we were moving into our first apartment, my best friend and I, and just left the tv on this brand new channel as we worked bringing boxes and furniture in.

The final paragraph in the answer above is incorrect. Upon its release in 1979, the song was a worldwide hit, including top 10 in USA and No.1 in Australia, Japan and several other countries. In Australia, we saw the video clip often in 1979, and surely it aired that year all around the world.

Player #1935809, hey dude, flip a tile is good... you use it to turn the exit tile and then get more points for each question from that point on in the game.

Era Vulgaris, I strongly disagree. First off, the record industry is long from being dead. Also, to your point, if something would have killed the industry, it would be illegal downloads. If anything, streaming saved the industry by at least paying the artists when they are listened to. And no, it's not a meager income, as most people would have you believe. The internet gives artists who would have no chance of signing a record contract in the old days a platform to reach the entire world. I think streaming is a logical and even desirable next step in music.

flip tile should get a bonus if you pick exit

Player #1935809, i think they should get rid of all bonuses. idk if its just me or whats the point if winning them if they still deduct coins if you use any help
