Fox On The Run -Sweet

[BrantDj2012]

Actually met these guys at Eastern Sound in Toronto in 79(?). They were pretty wasted!! Cool studio in T.O..... Wonder if it's still there..... Great tune!

[OZOBIEUSA1]

This is MUSIC!

I love all music, but this just rocks!

Its original, without much editing....

[RTT8001]

This was blowing out of my loud speakers (not prissy headsets like today) at this time in 1976; the way rock and roll was meant to be heard.

[husker3of4]

Classic 70's! Love it!

[optimistwannabe]

Once again, very fun to see the footage...but the soundtrack is clearly the studio version. Or it's amazingly close...right down to the fade notes. If so...then absolutely amazing.

[Multi80schick]

If you don't like this classic rocker, there's something wrong with you! Always brings back great memories. Boy band, dude? They were nothing of the kind!

[romulus406]

shut the fuck up, you boring twat. go and jerk off to little willy, ha ha.

[seemeewink2]

cute boy band!!!

[colibridorado7]

maravillosos

[willkc8088]

this is cool

[gwyntube]

Def Leppard maybe? Suzi Quattro Sheryl Crowe? We all feed off the good stuff.

[romulus406]

is that right they all ended up alcoholics, and fucked up. no shock there then, as it was probably guilt, for singing the total shite they came out with, the useless wankers, and all that pretending to be gay, is that right they were always been done, for fucking men on hampstead heath, ha ha ha.total cunts LOL

[MyBarbaricYAWP22]

@romulus406 If you don't like then watch something else, troll.

[wrestlemaniainlondon]

ANGLOS!!!

[oct201981]

great memory from way back when. yea way back when music was great , weather was warm , people were friendly , the world was abetter place . bring back the 70s

[Avatar230594]

Just randomly saw it and realised "GREAT SONG! *CLICK*!!"

[CrypticGee]

I hate to disillusion you guys but they dubbed the album track over concert footage for The Midnight Special. If you don't believe it, listen to the cut on Desolation Boulevard.

[laprofessorapai]

You know why this is so great? No auto-tuning!

[Hot100daze1976to1997]

This song - Fox On The Run - By Sweet peaked at # 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on 01-17-1976

[lobo63mt]

I made a shirt like that in home ec in 73

[kazakstanism]

haha i had a foreign exchange student from germany my senior year that had the same hair style as the singer

[Goldfrappe]

I love the guitarists shirt

[AFCFAN99]

Very good video nice!

[MaryJanesLastDance86]

Love Sweet but it now this song just reminds me of That 70's show which I miss dearly haha

[bjstoker1]

Damn...I love Steve's butt at the end of the song when he turns around!!

[bullpentherapy]

people say how they did it,,talent,,,,,,,,? its lip sync friends,,,,,,but its great

[KhabukiJo]

@bullpentherapy

I agree with this.

[landscapecadmonkey]

first conscious pop song... in awe !!!

[MsFanmail]

g8 song !

[BasswipeNC]

I saw a band plays this song recently. It was a band that opened up for KISS back in summer of 2010.

[partyrockers1000]

@BasswipeNC no one can bet this

[epsteinsmutha1]

Git yer skates on people!

[GRockBlues]

6th grade this stuff freakin ruled!



[WeTheStrange]

The Sweet took no shit from anyone!

[justinelust777]

Mick tucker was one of the greatest drummers in the world!

[surfing636]

@justinelust777 , In 1975 I was lucky enough to see Sweet in concert. The drum solo I saw was incredible, 2 movie screens with Mick pre-recoreded playing timbales on screen #1, kettle drums on screen #2, and playing his drumset live. Very professionally executed.

[ForrestUzumaki]

@justinelust777 You made me chuckle :P

[Brianna1966]

both sides are still working for me.

[weirdal27]

This song is "all right" (get it? Because it's only in the right speaker).

[bullpentherapy]

@weirdal27 JUST NOTICED IT,,LMAO

[rhondasroom4dayz]

somethings is wrong with the sound. 

[regannuke]

42 people are deaf in the right ear

[Andyrt35]

i loved this song my bro had the single which he gave to me years ago and its still in once piece :) but i got the cd now :)

[jeff62rey]

Okay, High School and College kids of 1976-1982, who was your "Fox on the Run?" Mine was Patricia, a honor student, straight laced, long skirted prude by day. That's the girl, I thought I knew until a night at the "Disco Duck" with tight Blue Jeans, long brunette hair and a wild look that would curl your hair, boys! I jumped in on the first dance and school days never again seemed the same.

[kurt771965]

@jeff62rey Her  name was Christy, and I never did catch her...lol!

[people287]

Is it just me, or is there only a right channel for audio? :<

[Brianna1966]

@people287 both are working fine for me. :)

[KhabukiJo]

@people287 Only right for me as well. It's still one of the better videos of this song though.

[hearitherefirst]

its to bad they all died :(

[Andyrt35]

@hearitherefirst not all Steve Priest is still alive so is Andy Scott

[walter4092]

@hearitherefirst steve priest and andy scott still alive

[walter4092]

@hearitherefirst brian drinks to much , there s a video on you tube were you can see him when he was 50 years old ,, he was so great in his high days it hurts so fucking bad that he distroyed himself , Tim has cancer and died in 2002 at the age of 55 .Steve is also not well i suppose but Andy looks very good .But between 71 and 78 they had z lot of hits and many great hits

[OZOBIEUSA1]

@walter4092 u no these guys?

[walter4092]

@OZOBIEUSA1 i do not know this guys , i was 17 when they charted with *funny funny

Brian Connoly dies in 1997 , and Mick Tucker in 2002 .Stzve Priest lives in the states or Canada , he wrote a book * are you ready Steve * I was a big fan and for a while i had could send mails to Steve

[5457woody]

Good God, this was their greatest hit. Such tragedy afterwards... they deserved better.

[Mack10001988]

fuck yeah, was fucking my first girlfriend to this song when I was a youngster lol

[amberbojamber]

This time era was totally raw..no editing..holy shit...how did they do it?...Talent maybe????

[jt20042]

@amberbojamber You got that right. Seeing and hearing rock or pop music from back in the 1970's just makes me realize how great those artists were...and how horrible rock and pop music is nowadays. Uhg it's awful! God bless The Sweet!!

[EasilyWowed]

@amberbojamber Ya think? Indeed! You cannot duplicate this stuff.

[bagelj]

@amberbojamber Many of the live performaces they did in the 70s were lip-synched. They did this so they can save themselves from having a horsed voice and additional blisters on the fingers before the actual concerts.

[WinterBornActual]

@amberbojamber yeah and NO auto tune or overlaying

[andycapist1]

@amberbojamber

lip synching

[PoffyTheCucumber]

@amberbojamber - How did they do it? Maybe MIMING.

[mrvjay09]

i agree.the 70s really rocked.the bands the music,the groups.the fun days.

[MissGreenie]

love guys shoes in the 70's.. so cool!

[OZOBIEUSA1]

ITS HERE!

THE MOVEMENT!

[ValkyrieSwan]

You don't have to hate the artists of today to appreciate the artists of yesterday. If you do not like the music you are hearing now, then maybe there is a better group of artists just around the corner - be patient! I have a feeling about it - there Will be a new movement in music that could blow your mind. I've been saying this for over fifteen years, but It Should Be Here SOOOOON!

[hoopershark66]

@ValkyrieSwan not waiting 15 years i'll listen to the 70's and 80's were i grew up not waiting on this new ????? stuff...being polite

[Hot100daze1976to1997]

This song - Fox On The Run - By Sweet peaked # 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on 01-17-1976

[quaabhunter]

I heard this back when i was 402 those were the goold old days

[ParanormalPat]

i had the 45 rpm record of this tune when i was a kid because i liked it so much. this tune still rocks to this day in my book!

[samdunaway0496]

@ParanormalPat My family hated this song because I had the 45 and I played it over and over and over!!!

[ashlee2160]

MY FAVOTITE IS THIS ONE AND BLOCKBUSTER. CHECKOUT THE REMIX VERSION !!!!

[Jgeneraledger23]

I ended up with a broken cassette player in my Mustang GT from playing this song so much. It was worth it.

[monoceros1222]

Yeah we nerds thought we were cool blasting this on our transistor radios waiting for the bus in the morning...

[theheadbanger42]

this is my favorite song by sweet. ballroom blitz is ok but

this song kicks ass

[BRTOMBOI]

I love this song. I heard the Schoolgirl verison and I like it too. Fox on the run is an awesome song

[LoveBigbangAnd2NE1]

I loved them since I was around 9 years old And I still love them ! <3

It's so sad that my friends never heard of them , I'm glad I got to know them because of my dad ( my mom loves them too btw ;p ) I'm now 13 (in 5 days) 14 and I still frequently listen to them Their music is just awesome ;D

[MyNameIsCoincidence]

as I remember the Beatles (or rather George Harrison alone?) made a slightly similar one; does someone know title?

[LadyLinguistique]

I forgot all about this one. Ah, good times...

[countingmx]

2:22 That hair was pioneered by Dave Hill of Slade (in white outfit here: /watch?v=va8NNlVcVMI )

[ThatDisembodiedVoice]

THIS SONG GOES OUT TO ALL THEM FURFAGS! Shine on, you crazy weirdos

[crazy4YT]

i was so psyched to hear this in a 1999 film called Detroit Rock City. Then Blockbuster was used in Gangster no.1. It's just nice to hear their songs pop up on various movie genre =)

[ashlee2160]

mI glad Andy Scott has continued the Legacy. Im sure he thinks of the past all the time he perfomes the songs. I've listened to every version of this song and I PREFER THE ORIGINAL VERSION......

[Hto0h]

@ashlee2160 you mean the really original version... two versions before this one? :)

[johnlovesbridge]

long haired 70s ginger!

[nirvsgard]

I just want to say;: i wanna rock... form the 70s

[350FordWhiteStallion]

ya right

[kja427]

I knew they weren"t a true Glam-rock band; They look so normal in this.

[3rdminister]

deadsy

[AnimexVer20]

Sounds like Ace Fhreley from Kiss

[johnsendz]

@AnimexVer20 Ace covered it on his last solo album

[snsnn1234]

whats wrong with age

[MisGaga1959]

yeaa....LOL!

[dirkvriesje]

prefer the john frusciante version

[blackbrookrose]

First singel I bought! Really sorry to have lost it now. Going to try to have have the same hairstyle as Brian, my favourite, at a party tomorrow!!!

[tacomonster98]

I guess the auidience was invisible lol

[fentleyboa1]

oh yeah Pinky....my Bad!

[lousteven]

@fentleyboa1 lots of the early vids did not show auidiences,or an empy audience, like Early eddie money.I guess it was the style

[fentleyboa1]

Hey wait a minute...I don't see Suzy Quatro!!....where the hell is Leather tuskadero?

[penske13]

@fentleyboa1 pinky tuskadero. :)

[TheAdamewing]

Joni Mitchell hair

[MrLaurens4]

Lekker old school in mono!!

[tigerwoman]

It's a bitchy song.

[bknowell2000]

These chicks are pretty good.

[MrAcdc63]

lol

[kdm98]

Man...I haven't heard this song in years and I still remember the all the words. Amazing.

[graycloud057]

Everybody Skate!



[jwm239]

...I recall first hearing this as I prepared for an exhilirating day of skiing at Greek Peak in central NY. Got me in the mood for riding the moguls!

[Praxxus55712]

I get the feeling that the fox is on the run.

[Kelsey7717]

@StAnger1619 I was born the same year! And I totally agree. Words cannot describe how sad I am I will never ever get to experience a decade like the 70s. I hate this era of technology we live in!!!

[toffanful]

@Kelsey7717 Hiphop is not recognized as music, as it lacks a melody. It's roots are in beat poetry of the 1950s, flavored with techno pop and ghetto lyrics. Yecch!

[ribblock1]

@Kelsey7717

I was BLESSED to grow up in a musical renaissance.

[godsavethemcqueen]

@Kelsey7717 That's exactly how I feel! Tell me, are there more like you? If so, where is this community of saints??

[AwokenByVampires]

@Kelsey7717 Im 13 and i prefer 70's and 80's stuff, especially the music... It's sad i never got to experience the 70's and 80's :-[

[SuperLuckao]

@Kelsey7717 you're not wrong..;) i was a 13 yr old around that time...loved, loved loved it..but i wasn't able to go to concerts yet;(............this era is totally ignorant, uncreative..what a shame

[hoopershark66]

@Kelsey7717 grew up in the 80's you missed a great time no cell phones and going out everyweekend and actually seeing ppl it was GREAT i turned 18 in82 and my one bro was 13 yeasrs older i was youngest of 5 so lost of experience with music when you actually had to go c concerts...5 kids in family and being youngest lots of music back roung glad to hear that some of the younger ppl actually misss what we had

[TheMelmuse]

I love this song and i remember it comin on radio when i was little when radio 1 was good.

[thundermaster41]

@TheMelmuse A good old transiter radio

[071Mic]

I'm born in 1961 and electro music born too.

I'm Dj

[napalmnacey]

I fuckin' love this song so much. <3 :D

[flecur08]

DAZED AND CONFUSED!

[Looii5]

Moog!

[capitanokirc73]

viva il rock degli anni 70(x

[ewokdrums9]

All the people that say TODAYS music is crap blah blah blah. This is NOT TRUE. Maybe whats popular and played on the radio or on tv is less than desirable. But even then music is music just because you dont like it doesnt mean its crap. The Music of today IS GREAT your just not looking in the right place stay away from the radio if thats not your thing and search the record shops and YOUTUBE.

[calvintoronto]

@ewokdrums9 I think you have to take into account the nostalgia factor. Nevertheless, some of these "old fogies" (which would include me) have a point: there wasn't the overproducing of music then that there is today. (Can you say "autotune" for me?) A lot of music was more melodic and tuneful, in contrast to some great songs of today (eg, Furtado's Say It Right, and Promiscuous) which are often really neither.

The prime quality of a great song: it can be remade. Not so with hip-hop, eg.

[455Transam]

@ewokdrums9 No today's music pretty much SUCKS!!

[68django]

Ace Frehley covered this song. It's a great version. Ace always kept his covers pretty true to the original versions.

[romulus406]

no i am talking about metropolitan police records, these wankers had. for fucking men in public toilets, its on record look it up. if you can. some of us can ha ha ha. so you faggot cunt, go and jerk off to the sweet. they were fucking garbage, you sound a right cunt, theclassicalsymphony what a fucking name. you thick aids ridden cunt. bet you are on the register you fucking peado cocksucker

[blogegog]

They have a great deal of hair.

[romulus406]

all i know of these pretend gays, is that they were always being arrested for shagging in public toilets, and the music is utter drivel. is it true glitter fucked most of them in the 70s ha ha ha. utter fucking shite.

[TheClassicalSymphony]

@romulus406 nhahahahha!!! you wanker.....they were great ...sex in toilets? don't tell me u don't enjoy sex or wanking or looking at porn...you stupid twat.

[fullerenepal]

Not as good as the music of today, but still pretty good.

[wikkerman78]

@fullerenepal you gotta be kidding, most of todays music is mass produced, autotuned bullshit that will be forgotten in less than a decade.

[TheClassicalSymphony]

@fullerenepal  the music then was much better, yer all fuckin copy cats nowadays...

[Ilovebubblegummusic]

If you like the The Sweet, you might like my free, fun podcast Echo Valley! We play groups like The Sweet and great old bubblegum pop music from Great Britain and America like this almost every show! Just google "echo valley bubblegum". Hope you guys like it!

[DBro65]

1976 I was 11 years old listening to this on a 45 I had up until 2000.

[tryithere]

I was 84 when this came out and I'm still listening to it in the nursing home.

[DBro65]

@tryithere - Wow, 115 years old. Impressive.....lol

[lmw289]

@tryithere Rock on, old timer! God bless you!

[cabmandu]

@tryithere

Hey! Hey! you kids turn that screaming and yelling down. This nursing home has gone to hell in hand basket since the Monkees broke up.

[toffanful]

@tryithere That would make you 119 years old. Bit of a stretxh, but you probably can't remember your age. Rock on, old man!

[Danu6403]

Wait, if you were 84 in 1974, that would mean you are 121 now.

[tubbie73]

@tryithere So congratulations on your 121e birthday.

[myjunefairy]

@tryithere then you would be over 120 ..........

[ItsFoB]

@myjunefairy Willpower!!

[jewelgreen777]

@tryithere

good for you

[MurphyMonster]

@tryithere Shouldn't you be dead already?

[lemmyswartt]

@MurphyMonster Thanks to Viagra He still beats the pussy up!

[1BlubeTube]

@lemmyswartt Poor cat.

[melinaR98]

@tryithere

LOL!!

[Trykhome]

@tryithere Shit yeah Gramps! Party on!

[fukorf]

@tryithere wouldnt that make you...dead

[jacob3800]

@tryithere That would make you 1 or 2 years younger than he world's oldest person history who was 122.

[KhabukiJo]

@tryithere That would make you....OVER 9000!!!!!!!!

[ImSuchASpecialGirl]

thank you i am 26 and love such music

[ldy1va]

I was 10 when this came out and this song has been stuck in my head forever now

[SuperAlaska2011]

That was real music!!!

[Mattandjeffhardyfan1]

I dont remember where ive heard this song but I heard it years ago and ive always like it guess that why I remember it :D lol glad I found this .

[Alxalifate]

I got the record from a 70s compilation-your right about the static! good song-reminds me of Saint Erwin ROMMEL!

[hotpugsinthecity]

sweet but left audio is static

[tony0320]

@MsFanmail i wasnt even thought of when this song was out, i was born in 92 and i listen to 50s 60s 70s 80s some 90s and very little of todays music, its all crap, yeah there was some cheesy stuff in the 80s but hey, at least they all had fun with it :)

[milbury55]

Best version of this self penned classic from the best Glam Rock band of the 70's!

To top it all they could actually play and were great live!

[forbes4]

my grade 3 math teacher Miss Hammett at 2:07! Who knew?

[tryithere]

@forbes4 He does look like a woman.

[JRCrowley]

Fantastic.

[StAnger1619]

I was definitely born in the wrong decade ('91)

Being a teenager/young adult in the 70's would've been much more suited for me.

[sneza1389]

@StAnger1619 I WAS BORN IN THE RIGHT DECADE :) (1964). I WAS LUCKY TEENAGER ! HALLO FROM SERBIA

[thundermaster41]

@StAnger1619 I'm just curious, Why? do you say that.True I think the 70's were a better era, no inter-net no cell phones, music took you to another generation, My daughter 23, listen too all the 60's and 70's tunes LOL I tought her well.

[tkme2tx]

@StAnger1619 Yes, you were. It was great.

[ossarider]

@StAnger1619 Naw, it was awful...lime green leisure suits and hair blowers. Not to mention John Travolta, Fonzie, captain and tenille, and starland vocal band. But history changed at Disco Demolition Night in '79

[drfaustus89]

@StAnger1619

The same issues here... Born at the beginning of '89, but I wish I was born in the '60s... :(

[frima1231]

waoooooooooooooooooo

wonderfullllllllllllllllllllll­lllll

[MsQuadMan]

[TheGeorgecostanza]
