Fantastic song. For your viewing pleasure ( I found
the repeating sample irritating as I copied this :/ ),
the blurb in the intro (from the version at

follows; I do feel the first paragraph belongs over at the
VKtRS node really :(
(...a-ha, just seen that it's noted at August 1, 1981)
On August 1, 1981 at 12:01am, MTV aired its first
music video, "Video Killed the Radio Star"
by the Buggles. The debut is still remembered
as the breakthrough cultural event of the
early 80's, marking the beginning of the music
video era. Even today, almost nineteen years
later, this video and related commentaries
can be found on numerous sites all over the
web
Appropriately enough, "Video Killed the
Radio Star" celebrated the birth of one new
medium - the music video - and mourned the
waning of another - radio.
On June 6, 2000, eStudio.com helped usher in
another paradigm-breaking medium with a parody
of the original MTV video - "Internet Killed
the Video Star". Like the video it parodies,
"Internet Killed" chronicles the explosive
growth of a whole new medium - the Internet.
This animated music parody leaves a lot of
roadkill in its wake - MTV, AOL, Bill Gates
and others, and is the first in a series of
music parodies from eStudio that will
appear on shockwave.com
