From the moment it became the first video shown on MTV to when it appeared on The Wedding Singer, the Buggles Video Killed the Radio Star has transcended generations. Thankfully, were set for 2019: Walk Off The Earth has collaborated with Sarah Silverman on a cover of the new wave hit, complete with flutes, drooling babies and a xylophone.
The video features footage of the group recording the single. Silverman takes the lead vocals, backed by Walk Off The Earth members Sarah Blackwood and Gianni Luminati. When Silverman sings I met your children/What did you tell them? the camera shifts to the comedian literally playing with kids in the recording room. Weve always loved collaborating with different artists and met Sarah back in 2012, the band said in a statement. We talked about recording something fun together ever since and now the time has finally come.

The Canadian indie pop band first gained recognition in 2012 with their live cover of Gotyes Somebody that I Used To Know, in which all five band members played one guitar. After the sudden death of band member Mike Taylor last year, the band has decided to continue their tour in honor of his memory, promising new music this year.
