MTV30

Some oldie videos I remember:

"Use Your Love" -- Outfield
"867-5309"- Tommy Tutone
"Cars" -- Gary Neuman
"Magic" -- The Cars
"Working for the Weekend" -- Loverboy
"Bette Davis' Eyes" -- Kim Carnes
"My Sharona" -- The Knack
 
SiriusXM also re-created the first few hours with the original VJs. Nina Blackwood sounds like forkin' Marge Schott now.
 
Given how much the channel has changed since its inception, when I first saw this thread I thought it was going to read:
MTV
--30--

But I digress.
First video I can remember seeing was over a friend's house when I was 6 or 7 (so I guess it was 1982 or '83). It was "Don't Come Around Here No More" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Sort of a weird Alice in Wonderland thing that I totally didn't understand at the time, but is actually pretty cool now.
Later in the hour they played some George Thorogood video where he was shooting pool and drinking a beer. I'd try to be more specific, but I really don't remember and it pretty much describes every George Thorogood song anyway.
 
Don't remember the first video I watched but I do remember .38 Special & REO Speedwagon being in pretty heavy rotation.
