Slade ~ Run Runaway (1984)

"Run Runaway" is a hard rock song performed by English band Slade. The song was written by Jim Lea and Noddy Holder and was on their 1983 album The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome. It reached #7 in the UK Singles Chart.[1]
The album was released in the United States with a different track listing under the title Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply. In 1984, the single "Run Runaway" became the band's biggest American hit, peaking at #20 and spending a total of eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100's Top 40. It was also #1 for two weeks on the Billboard Top Tracks chart.[2]
The music video for the song was filmed at Eastnor Castle in Ledbury in Herefordshire, England.
There is a marked similarity between the melody of this song and the recurring theme in the 1944 film Arsenic and Old Lace.

Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply is an album by the British glam/hardrock group Slade. It was an alternate version of The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome which was released in the UK the preceding year. Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply was released in the United States in 1984 and reached number 33 in the U.S. charts.
This album proved to be Slade's most successful American album over the group's more than 20 years of releases in the States. Both "Run Runaway" and "My Oh My" continue to receive consistent radio airplay in the United States and are considered Slade's most recognizable songs amongst Americans.

I do wonder why the video is 'Together in Electric Dreams' by Phil Oakley & Giorgio Moroder...

Trust me kids... this band goes back to when I was a kid in the late 60's and Early 1970s.... they were all part of the whole GLAM ROCK era. Queen, Bowie... all of them came out around the same time. They were very good years... trust me..
