Imagine seeing men now in the 70s back then played video games.

Wonder if this could've been a hit with a bigger production video? Great to see it after all these years though. Liking the lo-fi colours and Trevor's outfit though.

"Lost a million in the very first attack".... totally chilling; what an incredible lyric.

Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. Absolutely wonderful Technopop / Art Pop. Unfotunately thery didn't really succeed as Buggles after their catchy hit single "Video Killed the Radio Star" from 1979. What a shame. But then they became immortal as members of Yes (album "Drama" from 1980) and all their great work in the 80's.

An advanced group in a million different ways...just awesome.

This is great thanks for uploading some Music Video of The Buggles. I wish these Music Videos gets more views and attention like The Video Killed The Radio Star got.

Unforgettable song for 40 years. First time seeing the video, 6 days after it's uploaded. Wonders never cease!

I like how whoever was running the channel finally decided to upload something after a decade.

Wow Never seen this and i even went to Trevor Horns Princes Trust tribute in 2004 Slaves to the Rhythm one of tbe best concert ive seen live and at Wembley Arena A great show to the music producer who pioneered the 80s right up to now with his exclusive talent

How does this only have 200k views this is a banger song

My favourite Buggles track which should have been a bigger hit.

After 42 years I can sing every word of this song still. That says it all :D

The song Clean, Clean predicted the future because to win the war against Covid 19 the world needs Clean, Clean.

Wish they had more albums

Loved this song for ages, but I never knew there was a video for it. Thanks so much for posting this!

Way way ahead of their time

Check out Bruce Woolley. He has his own versions to both Video Killed the Radio Star and Clean Clean. He co-wrote Video Killed the Radio Star with Trevor Horn, they went their own ways forming their own bands and creating their own versions. Bruce created Bruce Woolley & The Camera Club. Trevor created The Buggles. As far as Clean Clean I believe Bruce Woolley & the camera club wrote & recorded it. The Buggles heard it, liked it and recorded it to present for a big label deal. The Buggles version of Radio Killed the Video Star is by far the better version but Bruce Woolley has his own unmatched swag. Tho hes less famous he has solid songs. Below are Bruces versions to the songs, he also has alternative recorded versions to clean clean & video killed the radio star. The last link is his album which is good. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIt-3I-go8zOfpM.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zaprsqqoc7zTpNY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGhkx6hteM6aoaw.html

You know...I love this song like I do a lot of the Buggles...but I kind of agree with Todd in the Shadows on this...couldn't they have found a better hook than 'Clean! Clean!' for their pop song that is actually dealing really well in the majority of the lyrics with people going off to war and the 'war games' which are played around them? Really good subject and pushing the boundaries for what a pop song could be...and then it sort of just sounds like a domestos advert when they sing 'Clean! Clean!' Oh well...never mind...still a very underrated band.
