Slade - Run Runaway

[irock]

Here's one you seldom hear these days. The video was a big hit on MTV back in the day, but other than that Slade didn't get a lot of American airplay, although as I understand they were huge in Britain.

The group has a number of good songs, but the only other one I can remember hearing much on American radio was Cum On Feel The Noise.

Maybe it's a good thing they aren't played often, because if they were this song might not make for such a pleasant memory. I should think you could easily get sick of it if you hear it played frequently.

I hear it on the radio quite a bit, but I still think it's a nice song.

I dont think their version of Cum on Feel The Noize really got much play, its was the Quiet Riot remake that got played.

I used to love this song when i was a kid, now its alright every once in awhile, I actually like the remake by Canadian band Great Big Sea, its Celtic influenced and much faster.

I vaguely remember it being played on Jackson's WZZQ back in the '70s, but I remember hearing it even more during the time the Quiet Riot version was a hit. I definitely remember being familiar with the song and already knowing some of the words the first time I heard the QR.

Seeeeeee chameleon, lying there in the sun, all things to everyone...

This song always makes me want to sing along.
And drink.
Love it.
