"Video Killed The Radio Star" was written by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes (of Buggles) and Bruce Woolley. Woolley recorded it in early 1979 with his band, The Camera Club - with Thomas Dolby on keyboards. Later that year "Buggles" would take it to #1 in UK and Australia. It peaked at #40 in the US.
