Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles
Picture this: 'Video Killed the Radio Star' hits the speakers, and suddenly it's like every quirky synth and falsetto note was scientifically designed to drill into your brain. It's the Mount Everest of one-hit wonders—nothing else quite reaches that peak of infectious, slightly annoying glory. And let’s not forget every time it plays, there’s that one person dramatically reenacting the video. It's a pop culture staple that refuses to fade into obscurity, much like that neon shirt you can't bring yourself to throw out.
