<P> Since 2010, Horn has performed "Video" with both the Buggles and his new band, Producers . Since 2011, he has added new vocals to his live performance before the song's final chorus: </P> <P> Video killed the radio star, He hit him on the head with his old guitar, He tried to run away, but didn't get far, That's how video killed the radio star </P> <P> The music video for "Video Killed the Radio Star", written, directed and edited by Australian Russell Mulcahy, was produced on a budget of $50,000 . It was filmed in only a day in South London, and was edited in a couple of days . Mulcahy asked Virginia Hey, a friend who was a model and aspiring actress, to dress "in a silver costume and be lowered via wires in a test tube ." There were about 30 takes required for shots of the actress in the tube . The tube falls over in the video, although Mulcahy claims it was not intended to be shown in the final edit . Hans Zimmer can be briefly seen wearing black playing a keyboard, and Debi Doss and Linda Jardim, who provided the female vocals for the song, are also seen . </P> <P> The video starts with a girl sitting in front of a radio . A black - and - white shot of Trevor Horn singing into a radio - era microphone is superimposed over the girl by the radio . The radio blows up by the time of the first chorus, and then in the second verse, she is seen transported into the future, where she meets Horn and a silver - jumpsuited female in a clear plastic tube . Shots of Horn and Geoff Downes are shown during the remainder of the video . </P>
