MTV announced this week that it was officially dropping the “Music Television” tagline from its logo. Fair enough. It has been so long since that network actually aired music videos that there aren’t even any good jokes to make about it. “I’m pretty sure the last time they showed a music video on MTV it was the Cave Boys video for “We Started The Fire.”" See what I mean? Awful! The new logo is pictured above, and as you can tell, it definitely doesn’t say “Music Television” anymore. But, what, are you really just going to have a logo with no tagline?! Let’s get these guys a new tagline! How about:

“Remember Room Raiders? That Was Us Television”

or

“Birthplace of Carson Daly”

or

“The M Stands For Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino”

Feel free to suggest your own, but make sure that they are at least as clever and roll off the tongue as well as the examples above. Let’s not waste time with this if we’re not going to give it 100%.

Behind the Music
According to I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution (Dutton), the greatest thing to happen to popular music in the 1980s almost didn’t happen at all. The plan to launch a 24-hour music channel was initially greeted with derision.

    • I am sure there was a band called the Atavistics in the mid-80s that made a song called this. I remember seeing it on U-68, a music video channel briefly existing out of NJ or PA. I am not saying it was a good song, just that I have a dim, snowy, UHF memory of it.

      • I believe Empty V was what the SNICK show “The Roundhouse” used when they did MTV parody sketches in between dancing around and contorting themselves.
        It was scrawled on a piece of cardboard that they would flash at the screen and the “older-looking” Roundhouse member would do his satirical Kurt Loder impression.
        There was a blonde girl on that show that could bend forward and get her head right up into her crotch region. I remember that awakening something in me…
