Jersey Shore is the only thing I've recently watched on MTV.

biggest downfall of a channel I can recall.

biggest downfall of a channel I can recall.

you mean from a channel that a smallish set of music fan young people watch to a powerhouse in pre-teen - early 20s trend setting and advertising? yeah, huge downfall

biggest downfall of a channel I can recall.

yeah lol, I dont know anyone that sits around and watches music videos. especially when u can go on your computer or smart phone and pull up any one you want instantly. If MTV still just showed music videos they'd be gone.

 

[AttilatheHoo]

Headbangers Ball was the best show to me other than Beavis & Butthead.

 

[WhatUTalkinBout Willis]

just because pre-teens and teens love it doesn't make it any better

For those people MTV is already gone. That's their point.

But it was cool when you were a pre-teen and teen, right?

 

[qcdeac]

For those 1000 people MTV is already gone. That's their point.

fify

yeah, i just hate the complaints and if there are SO many people that liked old school mtv its shocking that no other network has come in and tried to recreate it. even mtv2 that was supposed to show videos has shifted to airing reruns of mtv shows.

I want my, I want my M.T.V.

Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free

Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Let me tell you them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour T.V.'s

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour T.V.'s

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour T.V.'s

Look at that, look at that
I should have learned to play the guitar
( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/dire-straits-lyrics/money-for-nothing-lyrics.html )
I should have learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it sticking in the camera
Man we can have some
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothing get your chicks for free

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour T.V.'s

Listen here
Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free
Money for nothing and chicks for free

Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free
Money for nothing, chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free (I
want my, I want my, I want my M.T.V.)
Money for nothing and chicks for free
Easy, easy

That ain't working

This was bawce.

 

[EatLeadCommie]

I always wondered what that song was that played on the MTV commercials with the flag on the moon.

Also, now I know what the second song ever played on MTV was. Sweet Benatar tune.
