Ratt - Round and Round
INXS - The One Thing
Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It

yeah, that's one of them. I think they did them a few times a year. You can see the list was top heavy with pretty "recent" videos

Did a search for Whip and found nothing. Figured they were a one-hit wonder. Not even sure I heard another.

MTV plays more music per hour today than they ever did. Kind of crazy.

Holy crap. I'm sure I've seen that vid dozens of times but never noticed the nip.Sidenote: That video was filmed in Santa Cruz (aka Santa Carla in "The Lost Boys"). When I was a kid I remember climbing or trying to climb that "cliff" in the shot where Huey is on the pay phone.

Of all the MTV VJ's this was clearly the first one I would want to punch in the face.

Devo was around long before mtv. Weird music triva...
In 1977 Devo were asked by Neil Young to participate in the making of his film Human Highway.[9] Released in 1982, the film featured the band as "Nuclear garbagepersons." The band members were asked to write their own parts and Mark Mothersbaugh scored and recorded much of the soundtrack, his first of many.[

Hell yeah - used to watch them both on weekends. Of course, back then you had to get up and change the channel. :grandpa:Forget MTV, now TBS Night Tracks is where it was at.

Ironically, Mothersbaugh was a student at Kent State (as was Chrissie Hynde) at the time of the National Guard shootings in 1970. Neil wrote "Ohio" just a few days after the shootings.

Curry would be 3rd for me.His hair on that show was tremendous though.Never liked Pauly so agree with that choice as well.
Curry was the original Headbangers Ball host if I recall correctly but didn't they have a show on called Heavy Metal Mania or something similar before the Ball got going?I vaguely remember Dee Snider hosting something around that time.

Didn't get cable in my house until '82/83, but one of my cousins lived nearby and we used to watch MTV for hours at his house. First video I saw was "Message of Love" by The Pretenders. Loved Remote Control and was glad to see Kari show her boobies on film a couple of years later. Forgot that Adam Sandler was a regular on that show but I'm pretty sure he annoyed the crap out of me back then. Loved watching The Young Ones. I think MTV jumped the shark for me when they hyped the premier of Van Halen's "Jump" on New Year's Eve. I felt like Ralphie Parker when he used his Little Orphan Annie decoder pin for the first time in "A Christmas Story." MTV was still in my rotation of regular channels but by 85 or so it had lost its luster.

I bought the unedited Whitesnake VHS tape back in the day. Tawny was topless throughout most of it.

Again from wiki..
The name "Devo" comes "from their concept of 'de-evolution' the idea that instead of continuing to evolve, mankind has actually begun to regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society."[5] This idea was developed as a joke by Kent State University art students Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis as early as the late 1960s. Casale and Lewis created a number of satirical art pieces in a devolution vein. At this time, Casale had also performed with the local band 15-60-75 (The Numbers Band). They met Mark Mothersbaugh around 1970, who introduced them to the pamphlet "Jocko Homo Heavenbound",[6] which includes an illustration of a winged devil labeled "D-EVOLUTION" and would later inspire the song "Jocko Homo". However, the "joke" became serious, following theKent State shootings of May 4, 1970. This event would be cited multiple times as the impetus for forming the band Devo.

Was thinking of this earlier due to the woman in the video, not so much the song.
Was referring to this version. Drool Drool (for her, not him).... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o41A91X5pns

I'm sure most guys used that video as fantasy fodder. Best not look at her now as all those fantasies will come crashing down.

I was around 10 or 11 when MTV came out. I wasn't into the music scene at that age, preferring to play outside with friends instead. Each day I would go over to my friend's house to get him to come out and would walk into his living room to wait. There sat his older brother and about 8 of his friends glued to MTV. Back then not everyone had cable so a teenager with MTV access was the neighborhood God.

I didn't click every single link, so sorry for any repeats.
I didn't know who Patti Smith was until after I learned who Patty Smyth was in The Warrior.
I don't feel tardy.

One of my married ladies, when i was into that, was a terminal cheerleader type (last saw her 5 yrs ago, when she was almost 70 and she was still quite doable) from Akron who told me a Mothersbaugh story when Devo broke. She had some cred - having dated pop idol Gene Pitney and strang the midwest for Tiger Beat as a teen - so i never took this as apochryphal. She said that, in the 60s, an older Mothersbaugh (brother or cousin) and his band ruled a Holiday Inn lounge out by the interstate as the house band. One of the features was their cover of "Satisfaction" and the band hammered it into the ground, 5-6 times a night. When she saw the video deconstructing the classic, she was sure it to be the result of the youngers having had it pounded it into their heads as kids.

I know Jump is the much more popular song, but no freaking way is its video better than Hot for Teacher.
Dang, I never noticed that either. I wonder if they always showed it like that or blurred it out.
