Do You Still Want Your MTV?!
MTV debuted on August first--twice! In 1981, and again in Europe in 1987. While the small-scale US service signed on with the cheeky "Video Killed The Radio Star," the overseas debut kicked off with "Money For Nothing," the MTV-referencing Dire Straits song that addressed the whole new culture that had spawned.
So 35 years later--do you still want YOUR MTV?! And some songs that were milestones along the way?
