The first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. The second video shown was Pat Benatar's "You Better Run".
The first video shown on MTV Europe was "Money for Nothing," by Dire Straits, which starts and finishes with repetition of the line "I want my MTV"
"Video Killed the Radio Star" is a New Wave song released in 1979 by the British group The Buggles that celebrates the golden days of radio. With broadcast-quality vocals and a bouncy rhythm, the song plays like a jingle. It's a fitting sound, considering the song tells of a singer whose career is cut short by television. Horn has said his lyrics were inspired by the J.G. Ballard short story The Sound-Sweep, in which the title character, a deaf and dumb boy vacuuming up stray music in a world without it, comes upon an opera singer hiding in a sewer. He also felt "an era was about to pass."
Appropriately, considering its subject matter, the music video for the song, directed by Russell Mulcahy, was the first to be shown on MTV, when the ground-breaking music channel debuted on August 1, 1981, at 12:15 AM.

I wish MTV may well be interior the format that it grew to become into while it first got here on the air: many times music movies with some music information jumbled in. there is many different channels that have certainty shows, so why won't be in a position to they dedicate their format to music movies? MTV stands for music television, yet it truly is not music television in any respect anymore.

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel (1986)
The music video provided claymation, pixilation, and stop motion animation that gave life to images in the song.
Sledgehammer is the most played music video in the history of the station. Sledgehammer has also been declared to be MTV's number one animated video of all time.

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel
Close calls:
Rockit - by Herbie Hancock - not really animation but animated.
