What was the first video you remember seeing

I believe mine would be Rio by Duran Duran.

Tonight's the Night by Rod Stewart - on America's Top 10 or Solid Gold or one of those shows. The first one I remember seeing on an actual *video* program was Every Day I Write the Book by Elvis Costello.

The Police I think that it was Roxanne, but I am not positive.

[sugar and spice]

Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

I'm sure that wasn't the first video I ever saw, but it's the first one I can remember.

That might have been my first video also. I just remember it was The Police, and I was in love with Sting and his blond spiked hair. They played The Police in heavy rotation on a local music video show in NYC. This was years before anyone in our area had cable.

I think his last name was Wait. John Wait I think? I miss you or I'm Missing you, something like that.

What made it memorable was the "plot." He was missing his girlfriend and singing the song with head phones on (I guess singing along with his own song.) and since he had headphones on he didn't hear his girlfriend (the one he's missing) knocking on the door. So she left.

That is my first video memory.

What was that video where the dude goes back and forth btw the comic world and reality? It's about race car drivers. It's a really cool video, even by today's standard.

I think mine was Madonna's Material Girl - and I made up a dance routine and make the neighborhood kids do it. :-)

I'm not sure. Maybe Harden My Heart by Quarterflash.

"Video killed the radiostars" from The Buggles, which incidentally, was the very first music video played on MTV....yeah, it was 1981. I was 11, and was hooked to MTV from that point forward!
