RUN JOEY RUN (1975) ORIGINAL VOCAL

[Sunfried1]

It was the summer of '75. I remember it well. Crusin' around in my buddy's 1970 Ford 150 pickup truck.

[happycat1971]

So Glee has ruined another great song. This is classic! 

[Sannsan94]

I didn't know they had iPhones in 1975 (y) 0:03

[whovianrocks]

glee version is actually better

[BarbarianDiablo]

nice thanks

[ImaBetterSetter]

This vid is retarded

[heyheybobbyj]

Is it sad that i thought this was the original video for like 5 times watching it, then i saw the ipod??

[Slaskerud1961]

Memories from a lost youth :-)

[stpauligirl36]

Guys, chill out, no need to call names, fuckwads

[20LILGANGSTA]

lol i remember always listening to this with my family on Saturdays cleaning the house and id always cry when we heard this song... lol i was like 7

[mwupchurch]

dammmmmm ! why do people feel the need to be mean and rude....i just dont get it....we are talking about a old song.....no need for name calling....are folks really THAT unhappy ! and even if you are.....why ya gotta take it out on strangers......the way we treat each other now a days....we must not have too much longer left in this world.....very sad indeed !

[NEXPAR]

The SONG is from 1975 (I remember it but thought it was by 5000 volts) but the VIDEO if from 2010 as videos as we know them were not in vogue back then. There may be footage of the band performing the song, however.

[NEXPAR]

For those thinking this song is horrible. That just goes to show that every generation of music is going to has some duds, not just "music of today". Just because what's on the radio is bad good music can still be found.... And bad old music can also be found... like this song for those who hate it.

[NEXPAR]

All this time I thought 5000 Volts did this song. I remember seeing them as the artists on a record list when this song was new.

[lp59pete]

This is not the original song. I remember when it came out. I thought it was about the tv show that was on at the time -

Run joe Run.

[lp59pete]

@lp59pete On second thought, I think it is... It was a long time ago.

[dbmgjshadic174]

i am a teen and i lvoe this song!!!

[mowm88]

ha ha thats great...can never hear this and not think of its chart contemporary 'Rocky' by Austin Roberts. Interesting. Song is pretty silly actually, but whatever it was '75 after all. Went to #1 on the Cashbox Charts, by the way, no joke.

[stormydemon27]

why is their a fucken I pod touch

[meandfreddy22]

I was 5...I remember my sister and her friends LOVED it!!!

[Midnightryder7]

Holy shit this came out when i was 11 yrs old..was my first favorite song

[SteveCarras]

done by Glee cast.. JUSTIN BIEBER?????"?" Who does the femae vocal there? Selena Gomez??

[Svanbergare]

Thumbs up if Glee brought you here.

[catherinemariechan]

@Svanbergare Yes, and made me realize that Glee's version is poor...

[LucifersSweetAngel]

For some reason the girl reminds me of that one chick from the waltons

lol idk

[Sashahardy12]

most deff not the original video

[SarahSauRc]

the only reason she sounds like that, not to mention the other singers, is because thats how the style of singing was back then

[mowm88]

This went to 4 late summer of '75 (on Billboard), but on Cashbox--it went to #1. Yes. You may or may not to weep for this country's soul from back in the day for that.

[ILuvPuppiez11]

the glee version is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better!!!

[PedroOficialVEVO1]

GLEE

[mitchl847]

This song truly brings back memories of when I was a kid. Thanks for posting it...you rule!!!

[Rileigho]

i think that glee did a better version; sadly

[admrilduckmarine]

@Rileigho that i agree with

[Rileigho]

@admrilduckmarine usually it would have been the other way around ^^"

[66912280]

Pure cheese! Great!

[Afrieal]

oh gods thank you for posting this... i used to sing this when i was little with my late brother. i've been looking for this song for ever now because of you i know the author and can hit itunes... don't listen to the haters. i apreciate hearing this so much.

[video198712]

I used to like this song back in the day, but now I can't understand why I liked it. It's a sad song.

[Ms707kikilovesyou]

thi9s scares me

[jamespat10]

HAHAHAHA!

[adrian16dff]

Love both

[admrilduckmarine]

this is the worst song ive ever heard EVER

[dbmgjshadic174]

@admrilduckmarine u sir are a epic fail this is classic music which is very beautiful and if u don't like it DON'T LISTEN TO IT AND KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT. Thank you

[admrilduckmarine]

@dbmgjshadic174 i do enjoy classic music, just not this song in particular, i think its stupid to sing about wats gonna happen next, i justthink it sucks, its my opinion so deal with it and calmdown

[mitchl847]

@admrilduckmarine

Yes, we do agree that your opinion sucks!

[admrilduckmarine]

@mitchl847 wats ur problem dude im just saying i dont like 1 count it 1 song that i say because its annoying winey and stupid, take a chill pill and move on with your life

[shannSAFC]

oh for gods sake , does it matter if some people found this on glee ?? !! if it means they are listening to this then who cares ?? i found this on glee and i like both versions

[admrilduckmarine]

this girl sounds like shes 7

[neSarang3528]

There's something so very addicting about the girl's voice.

[rice1ninja]

old stuff old stuff old stuff old stuff IPHONE xD

[CrystalMatthews93]

@rice1ninja LOL i thought i was the only one who noticed xD

[rondareid2000]

not at all ... your nothing to me

[tineeeable]

love this<3

[rondareid2000]

douchebag



[TRANSlSTORradio]

@rondareid2000 awe did I hurt your feelings little braindead babay?

[rondareid2000]

Ok, nice try but I have the ORIGINAL recording on Vinyl and THIS is NOT IT.

[TRANSlSTORradio]

@rondareid2000 yo idiot.  This is the original vocal. Clean your ears spitwad.

[zangman70]

@rondareid2000 yes it is silly!!!!!!!! this is the original.......k?

[TheCapdevillaTV]

@rondareid2000 how are you supposed to get a vinyl on youtube >.<

[JaneGrannySmithApple]

I though the female vocals were a little boy. O.o

[niceguy169]

I swear, the female vocals in this sound like an 8 year old boy! I had to find and watch the real video just to be sure it WAS a female singing! LOL! It's unfortunate I saw this video before that one, it might have helped to SEE her sing the first time I HEARD her sing. :)

[klonofan]

@TRANSlSTORradio Actually just 469519 :D

[AlbertValenzuela]

Hey you dum dum, a b is only used if you have a brain full of shit. Simply because it was meant to be spelled that way on purpose. I am amazed that you were able to hold off on your porn viewing to watch this video. Now get back to whacking off to your gay porn channels and get your dum ass outta here

[BleedingRedRose1]

I want to kill Glee and the choir that inspired Glee for ruining all my favorite songs. I tried to look up this song and all it was was Glee version. Obviously I really don't want to kill them, but you know what I mean.

[chalupachalupa33]

Glee version sucks

[tait1999]

wth 0:42

[jikkme]

I love all the cheesy 70's songs- Run Joey Run, Billy Don't Be a Hero, The Night Chicago Died, Patches, Seasons In The Sun, You Light Up My Life, Torn Between Two Lovers, Don't Give Up On Us Baby (David Soul- lol), Reunited, MacArthur Park, Love Will Keep Us Together & Muskrat Love, I Think I Love You, Afternoon Delight, Kung Fu Fighting, Convoy... oh the list goes on and on.

[Shelby161211]

This is really bad.

[NeLoen]

@Shelby161211 I know you're probably a Glee fan, and therefor don't understand music from the 70's, Don't get me wrong I love glee, but comparing today's music filled with electronics and devices that makes your voice more powerful, isn't fair.

[Shelby161211]

@NeLoen I am aGlee fan, you have that right but I thought it was horrible when they sang it, no offence to this song or Glee but it's just not good, the lyrics killed me. I don't wanna pick a fight at all but I just think this song isn't that good, I love 70's music, 80's, and 90's. I'm a teenager and live in those era's of music. But this song, I just don't know...

[NeLoen]

@Shelby161211 Ok reading it back, maybe I overreacted, I thought you were one of those Glee fanatics, that hates every Original of glee coverssongs.

[Shelby161211]

@NeLoen No not at all, I love Glee it's a great show but original's are original's and they always will be.

[realbogus]

Video's were very popular in Europe well before MTV. In fact, their popularity is what helped CREATE MTV here in the states... Never heard this song before... odd...

[angelodeath22]

the girl in this video sounds like justin bieber lol i'm just sayin

[evan669]

@angelodeath22 no, justin sounds like her



[TheGleek234]

ok the doll at 1:14 is officially going to haunt me forever :( and the people who sing this sound like children...the girl at least does

[cashlezz]

this is actually really disturbing..

[peggychase]

Wow thanks for posting this was my favorite song when I was in 3rd grade. Great memories

[thtmormongirl]

....i dont know verison i like more.

[nohelia90]

HAHAHAH THIS SONG SUUUUUCKS

[KiraKisa100]

Thanks, so many memories (:

[Myszkas9]

wolę z glee ;/

[qtbrniis]

You're right, not the greatest song ever, but I appreciate your posting it as it brings back great memories of my Joey, that I met in July 1975, at the same time this song came out. Of course our story had a much different ending.

Onekidonedream needs to learn to read the whole description.

[xDiamondAygLuxTR]

:D Rachel was singing it better XD

[vamphuntress15]

bob's big boy looked creepy.....

[SecretAgentBunny1234]

i LOVE this song!! How could anyone not like it.

[73mizell]

not a bad song

[PaulMax1957]

and I always thot this song was from the 60s

[itachifan1243]

I used to listen to this when I was ten (seven years ago, haha) and when my friend, who owned the CD, moved I forgot it for a few years and lately have been trying to look for it. I failed, until I started watching Glee. However, I like this version better.

[DramaMaker100]

I was bored the first second.

[armitius66]

Definitely one of the worst songs ever released on vinyl.

[FireEthereal]

They had Ipod touches then?

[ifisas]

I'm still waiting 4 Mr. Schue's Apology to America.

The original is better than the New Directions

(For once. Glee RULZ!)

[Reshmag1]

@ifisas agreed !

[lizbethbarajasa20]

wat the fuck sombody needs to tell them they cant sing like wtf after i heard this person singing i felt like killing myself

[StarChild99]

I remember listening to this on a 45 single...God, I feel old.

[ZekeandDukeSETSAIL]

Today at P.E, there's a kid in my class named Joey, we were playing baseball and he was running to first base, and someone yelled "Run, Joey! Run!" This is what automatically popped in my head! XD

[TheLeahdc]

I love the song but please give me a better video.

[lizbethbarajasa20]

@TheLeahdc give u a better singer

[Earthrush]

f u c k that ipod did fuck up the hole video

[iDefendMiley]

This girl can't sing.

[vascone315]

Glee is so gay! lol

[ylime7991miss]

@vascone315 so are you:/

[DraperHaz]

@ylime7991miss Hahha that's true

[MrAlonshenhav]

fuck you cock sucker

[Amethystasheryn]

Julie sounds so young it's a bit creepy, and Joey is sort of an idiot ... But I can't help liking this song. My Mom sings little pieces of it sometimes to us, just being facetious. Maybe that's part of it. :)

[Capinjakjak]

HOLY SHIT THIS VID IS CREEPY!

[onekidonedream]

Not to burst your bubble , but they didn't have iPod touches in 1975 , therefore this video was not from 1975 . Sorry .

[TRANSlSTORradio]

@onekidonedream read the description dillwad.......it says orignal vocal....not original video....you are some stupid dum ass people.

[rguy01]

@TRANSlSTORradio Its spelled "dumb", that there shows the stupid person.

[LadyNightOwl63]

@TRANSlSTORradio When you want to call someone dumb, please learn how to spell it first - it will make you look a bit less foolish.

[MrTheBurke]

@TRANSlSTORradio I think you are for not knowing dumb has a "b" at the end

[TRANSlSTORradio]

@TRANSlSTORradio dum was meant to be spelled that way, as to not confuse the idiots.

[XRainbowXPrincess]

glee's version was so much better ^__^ i felt more emotions :)

[xBieberBandGeekx]

I think this son would've been better if 'Julie' didn't sound like a 7 year old...

[TheHotWaffle]

I'm 19, but I grew up listening to this. It's a great song and really sad, in my opinion. I wish I could go to a single video and not see something about Glee or Justin Bieber. My generation and all those younger than me really need to re-evaluate good music!

[anneluvsherdoggie]

Isn't that a boy singing as Julie?

[meralodem]

@anneluvsherdoggie I agree

[Alikah1]

@meralodem With what? She's asking a question!

[meralodem]

@Alikah1 Grammatically it is a question but actually it is not

[oudemirdum]

the clip is kind of scary.

[brentad2004]

Now that I think about it, David Geddes(original singer) sounds like Neil Diamond,any one agree?

[phus2001]

i love puck in this song he is the best

[katzenjammerific]

the glee version was also good, but i think the original is more dramatic in its way....

does anyone know if there was ever an official music video made for it?

[mconstanta]

why do they keep saying that this song sucks? i like it ;p

[lelecazinha270798]

glee version is so much better !

[leoxraph1]

@lelecazinha270798 i like the boy i don't like the girl but you are right glee is better

[suzieshackles]

@lelecazinha270798 56 kids like your comment.

[Katemonster90]

@lelecazinha270798 but where can i hear it ...

[niceguy169]

@Katemonster90 HEARING the Glee version is easy... Search "glee run joey run" in YouTube. But in the episode of Glee they had a music video for this song, with acting and storyline and such. When searching, see if you might be able to find the actual scene. They made it kind of lame, as appropriate for a high school project, but I still find it better than the real video for this song, LOL! (Not this video, there's an actual music video)

[Katemonster90]

@niceguy169 i tried to but in the german youtube, the most of the original vid's are blocked by youtube oder sony -.- so i cant find a HQ version of the Glee verion of the song

[niceguy169]

@Katemonster90 Weird... Usually such blocks mean "Only viewable in the United States", and I live in Canada, so they would be blocked for me too. Try this one, I can watch it: watch?v=3NTHbA5Dlfo (just paste that at the end of the web address), it's the one listed on the right of this video for me.

[gabiioiq]

@lelecazinha270798 the dead version of you is so much better ! :)

[TRANSlSTORradio]

@gabiioiq hahahhahahahahah! good one!

[macieja92]

@lelecazinha270798

omagad, are you retarded or something? Who cares about Glee's version, don't spam gay and go sleep.

btw glee version sucks.

[CaptainFriedaTimber]

I haven't heard this song in years... <3

[ShoshieViolin]

Thumbs up if Glee did NOT brought u here

[maggieyu95]

joeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee don't come over :'*

[sierradane]

I requested this song on the radio so much that the DJ told me, he couldn't play it. I asked "why?" and he said that the record broke (he probably hated the song and me calling so much)

[LeslieCheskaa]

Thumbs Up If Glee Brought you Here ! :D

[TheFranne95]

The video suck

[SgtRock57]

Did I miss something? We had Iphones in '75?

I think Joey should have sang, Duck Judy, duck Judy Duck!

[TwistedSister09]

Great. I remember lostening to this song. Now the Glee trolls come here and ruin it.

[LeslieCheskaa]

The video looks all old then a random iPhone?!

[irenew861]

Is that an iPhone at the beginning?

[gonewithluv]

Love the song but the chick singing sounds about 5...

[cijmo]

You know I remember when this song was current and everyone 'loved' it (we were early teens) and I never heard it. Can't say I thought about it until now so this is actually the first time I've heard it even though I'm 48 years old. What a stupid song! And the person who said the lead singer sounded like she was about 9 was right.

[Hqwat]

@agentwade screw trashy trolls

[MrsBethHudson]

The Girl Singer Sounds Like 9 Years Old :P 

[Jacquy400]

The "Daddy please don't"-voice sounds like a 5-year-old...

[TheF1Queen]

Love this Song ♥

[YayyyyyyEnglish]

great song, weird video

[Lucious410]

Omg this song is so sad :(

[NoilsBox]

omg, I hate this version.

Only want Glee :O

[TwistedSister09]

@NoilsBox Glee's version sucks.

[ginni711]

Hate the Glee cast but remember and love this version...

[WuYorkYankees]

That's what Julie gets for messin with losers.

[EleaToPmOdEl]

<3

[juliepagee]

what part of 'joe, don't come over', do you not understand? :P

[alikoula]

@juliepagee lmao!!

[hateme4everok]

@juliepagee True story! lol

[danielkolodkinrulz]

Worst song of ALL time.

[lovespot42069]

FUCK GLEE !!!!!! for real i hate that stupid show.... but what i really wanted to say the first time i heard this song i almost cried, it's soo freaking sad !!!

[Nimron12]

@lovespot42069 Hey Glee is so cool, maybe you cry in front of this video, but Glee's version is good TOO !

[griff1562]

I see the I phone!!!!!!

[wassupdeuuud]

yoush joey
