Question
Hi bong. I was listening to the radio and it was playing some song back in the 80's, but I'm clueless what the title was nor the singer. Though, I remember bits and parts of the video it had. Some computer cartoon, 2 robot(perhaps) guys running because they were trying to get away from these two big rolling dice. It's on the tip of my tongue the title, I think it is called "This is your MTV"?, I think? maybe?, but I'm not sure. Please help.

Thank you Bong,
Ligaya

Answer
Dear Ligaya,

Looking at your clues, it seems like you're talking about two different songs. The vid that features big rolling dice sounds like WE BUILT THIS CITY by STARSHIP while the two computer-generated guys (they look like robots as you said) and the lyrics THIS IS YOUR MTV I guess is from MONEY FOR NOTHING by DIRE STRAITS. MONEY FOR NOTHING contains the lyrics I WANT MY, I WANT MY MTV. You may have mixed it all up.

Maraming salamat po!!
