How about some clues... ::)

The first two videos MTV aired were:
"Video Killed The Radio Star" The Buggles
"Treat Me Right" Pat Benatar

And both didn't have any kissing scenes.

Is it a Rod Stewart video?
I know that MTV aired 36 of his videos during it's first fun.

Sorry, I don't have a clue and don't know where to find the source since MTV.com  is only focused on current trends.

David Bowie's "China Girl" was probably the first video on MTV to show an interracial kiss.

Actually, Pat Benatar's "You Better Run" was the second video to air on MTV.

I guess David Bowie and Mick Jagger kissing on the lips in their horrible version of "Dancin' in the Streets".
:P

You are right on. I know, because I was watching at the time :)

The early days of MTV were sooo incredible. Remember the Saturday Night Concerts? The first was Journey, which I STILL have on VHS tape. There were other great concerts like Triumph, Billy Squier, Rush, April Wine, Sammy Hagar, the list goes on and on. I have a few of these that I've gotten on tape since then. I'm still looking for the Sammy Hagar show (Three Lock Box tour).

*sob* I miss those days...

Oh, I agree, wicked lame!  It was a benefit for something or other.  They were showing it in the cinema before the feature, along with the anti-crack public service ads of the time. :P
