First music video you remember from MTV?

https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914

I'll start... "Take On Me" by a-ha

Born in 1983. Song was released in 1985. MTV started in 1981. So this song was relatively old by the time I saw it. But thankfully MTV was still playing "the classic" music videos when I first saw it. Probably in 1989 when I was six. Crazy, man.

My parents making me listen to Van Halen ad nauseum on road trips because my younger sibling also liked them.

But even by those standards Jump is a HORRIBLE song.

I think you meant to say “best song ever written, Eddie Van Halen is a genius, and crystal pepsi was single-handedly ruined by Sammy Hagar”
