[stylist] Chris's prompt

[Eve Sanchez]

Shawn, You have aged yourself very well and though you remember the line
you have the wrong song. It came a little later with the birth of MTV. The
correct song is Video Killed The Radio Stars by the Buggles.  Trivia: This
was the first video ever played on MTV back when they used to play music.
