Did you know Cyndi Lauper played the theme song from The Goonies? That's one of my favorite TRIVIA QUIZzes!
Today's trivia quiz is brought to you by the Me! Generation.
Since this is my 80th blog post, I thought I'd make this quiz about the 80s. What was the first video to be shown on MTV when it went on the air? For bonus points, what date did MTV start broadcasting?
Good luck :)

Hi Rob! This is the first time I've checked out your blog - and I think I actually know the answer (maybe...): Video Killed the Radio Star -- but I don't know when MTV actually got started...

i did know cyndi lauper did the goonies song. she's rad. i think her album was mark's first tape. does he want the general acquaintance to know that? not sure...
is video killed the radio star by cyndi lauper as well? how about 1980?
I'm sorry, I can only remember the name of that song when I'm singing karaoke (just kidding ;) )
I know the first video was video killed the radio star, as everyone else has already said :). Don't know the date though, let's say September 21, 1981
Yup, Video Killed the Radio Star it was...odd how radio somehow managed to survive :) It was performed by the Buggles, I'm pretty sure.
Welcome to the blog, Eve! You're one for one at the moment!
MTV was launched at 12:01am on August 1, 1981. Of course, this was back when they still showed music videos...
Nice guesses, guys!
