I actually think that song is more popular now via 80s stations and whatnot than it was when it was new.

The Buggles were awesome. That whole Age Of Plastic album is spectacular from start to finish.

It's all a question of exposure - the song's infectiousness is absolutely beyond belief.
I read somewhere a mention of old microphone techniques, and started thinking to myself "what if somebody made a ragtime metal song? Hmm, actually, that would be kind of like OH SHIT". Then VKtRS burrowed directly in and hollowed out the occipital end of my skull cavity to lay eggs.

And then, 30 years later Internet killed the video star.

I'm so cool that I have this song on vinyl.
