I don't think that was my first video but that is one of my all time favorite videos...and one of my top 80's songs too. I am an 80's music/movie dork

I think it was Michael Jackson "Billie Jean." My good friend had cable and we would watch MTV for HOURS on end. I got cable in the first place just so I could get MTV. (Oh, I know that's pretty lame)

And... anyone remember those ancient cable box channel selectors that were connected to the TV by a cable (no remote control back then) and channel selection was by a slider? Or when you called the cable company and were told "we haven't gotten around to install cable in your neighborhood yet".

My call was always "When are you adding MTV to the lineup?" I think my 1st MTV video was "Eminence Front" by The Who.

We were living in Fairbanks, Alaska, so cable was a little later getting to the rest of us up there. I want to say that I remember it was "Hello" by Lionel Richie, on VH1.
Hubby remembers the debut of MTV--"Video Killed the Radio Star".

We didn't get cable in my neighborhood until 1986 (I was 7), but my "privileged" cousins had cable from god knows when, and I remember the first video I saw was the Go-Go's VACATION.
