The very first song aired on MTV on August 1, 1981 was entitled "Video Killed the Radio Star". This is a British synthpop and new wave group who called themselves "The Bugles". They released their debut single last September 7, 1979 on Island Records in celebration of the golden days of radio.

The song is about a singer whose career is cut short by television. This song topped the music chart in several countries and has been covered too by many recording artists. This was the first music video shown on MTV in North America. The song was composed by Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Wooley.

Horn claimed that Woolley was primarily responsible for the musical content of the song while Horn wrote the lyrics. Woolley added the words 'put the blame on VTR'. The first version was recorded by Woolley and the Camera Club and became a hit in Canada.

The Bugles later recorded the song and topped in the UK charts in the week of October 20 1979. This was the first ever number one for the Island Records label. It also topped the Australian charts and made it to the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States debuting on November 10, 1979 and peaked at number 40.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
