  • Hello, this is Six Minute English, I'm Sam.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • Do you like sad music, Neil?

  • Well, when I was younger, if I had a breakup with a girlfriend, I would listen to sad songs.

  • Songs which reflected my mood.

  • Mmm, and do you still listen to those songs now?

  • Not so much, but I do still like them.

  • Well, it seems as if there might be a biological reason why some of us do like sad songs.

  • Well, look at this topic a little more after this week's quiz question, which is about music videos.

  • The music video has been around for a while, but in what year was MTV, the first dedicated music video channel launched in the US.

  • Was it A, 1981, B, 1982, or C, 1983?

  • Oh, wow.

  • What do you think, Neil?

  • Kind to have a guess.

  • Is it the early 80s?

  • Well, yes, care to be more specific.

  • Well, well, it was a long time ago.

  • I was just a small boy.
