Oscar-Winning Composer Hans Zimmer Was In First Ever Video on MTV

Before he wrote the scores for hundreds of movies including Gladiator, The Lion King, for which he won an Oscar, and most recently Dunkirk, Hans Zimmer played the synthesizer for The Buggles. The Buggles are best known for their 1979 hit “Video Killed the Radio Star”, which happens to be the first video ever to play on MTV.
