They were probably most famous for their Woodpeckers From Space song. They released two albums, Invasion Of The Spacepeckers in 1984 and Satellite in 1985. "Woodpeckers From Space" was remixed by Norwegian dance group Spritneybears in 2002. "Woodpeckers From Space" was featured in a Pingu episode "Pingu Helps With Incubating" although it has been replaced by an extended Pingu theme tune in its newer version. Although, the version with "Woodpeckers From Space" is most uploaded and popular on YouTube. Then in 1985 when the Video Kids refused to release their song ‘Woodpeckers from space’, due to the political situation in South Africa during that time, Costa Anadiotis decided to release his own unique version of the song under the banner of Café Society. 'Woodpeckers from space' was a Number 1 hit in South Africa in July 1985 and stayed on the Top 20 for 19 weeks of which 8 were at the Number 1 position. The album ‘Relight my fire’ was release in 1985 but couldn't help this mainly studio outfit to reach a higher level and soon everybody went their separate ways. All VideoKids songs were written by Adams and Fliesner and Tony Acardi.
