Sadly, he wouldn't be able to, as Billy Joel found out Jeff was making shitty versions of his songs. Both Trevor and Jeff lived in Plastic, and they were the only two people who were actually comfortable living like that.

  • Buggles (the official version of the band name, used on their albums, singles, and publicity material, omits the prefix "The")[citation needed] were a New Wave band formed in 1977 consisting of Trevor Horn, born 1949 in Durham (bass guitar, guitar, percussion, and vocals), Geoff Downes, born 1952 in Stockport, Cheshire (percussion and keyboards) and Bruce Woolley. Horn and Downes had first met in the mid 1970s while members of the backing band of British singer Tina Charles of "I Love to Love" fame, though they did not actually play on that record. After this stint they briefly went their separate ways, Horn playing bass guitar in the house band at Hammersmith Odeon for a while, where he met Bruce Woolley. During this period Horn yearned to become a record producer, but was frustrated by not being able to find ideal songs or artists to work with. As a result he reunited with Geoff Downes, and the trio of Horn, Downes, and Woolley began writing their own songs to record themselves as a studio band. The Buggles' sound was characterised by a deliberately synthetic quality in keeping with the technological subject matter of their songs. Two different stories are claimed for the origin of the band's name. Horn said he chose "Buggles" because "It was the most disgusting name I could think of at that time", but the booklet for the CD remaster of "The Age of Plastic" says that it arose out of a private joke between Horn and Downes and was actually a pun on "Beatles".
  • Jeff (who most people incorrectly think that his real full name is Gaf Downs, and fuck knows when he was born) was always interested in playing the piano. Sadly, he wouldn't be able to, as Billy Joel found out Jeff was making shitty versions of his songs. Both Trevor and Jeff lived in Plastic, and they were the only two people who were actually comfortable living like that. Trevor and Jeff both met in 1975, in which they decided to start a murder group together, called the "Buggles", because of how they were treated by everyone. They had originally planned to kill Billy Joel first, for not letting them make anymore keyboard music. However, for some weird reason, they later decided they would kill their parents and uncles first instead. There have also been rumors since 2001 that Linda and Tina might've been involved in the group at one point, and that Trevor and Jeff had killed the two women. This has since remained a mystery, which probably nobody would care to solve. After the Buggles helped Mark David Chapman kill John Lennon in 1980 (info that the news decided not to even share), the Buggles met Video, who become a new star in the entertainment constellation. Video was asked for the group to help him kill the Radio star. This was so he would become a new worldwide star and he would be found doing more tricks the Radio Star wasn't able to do. The Buggles agreed. The 1982 murder of the Radio Star surprised all of those in the music industry, and yet Video was the only one who got in trouble for it. It has remained unknown how the Buggles helped Video kill the radio star, nor how they were found killing the Radio star, but it's safe to say you wouldn't want to know. A year after the incident, it appeared their dead parents found out about this and decided to come back alive and killed the two. The group tried to stay alive by killing the zombies, but failed to do so for some stupid fucking reason no one cares about. The two remained burried in a VTR (take the blame on that). It is quite likely that 52 years from now, we wouldn't care about these two people anymore, but hopefully John Lennon will continue to give peace to those who were killed by the Buggles, and, especially, those who were killed by Mark David Chapman (That's in case if there were any).
