  • I directed this video in 1983. I remember that we worked in a public bath in Stockholm (Centralbadet) for two nights when nobody was around.

    After the last shot Agnetha fell into the water and we could not shoot any more (her hair got all wet)!.

    Dancers are Blossom Tainton and a friend.

    Agnetha was easy to work with but I remember that when we had lunch she didn´t want shrimp that had been in a glass jar. She only ate fresch shrimp!

  • It is also basically a cover of Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "On The Run." Yes, great song.

  • this captures the heat we are experiencing on NYE 2011 in South Australia the tempuratures are gonna SOAR in the next couple of days

  • Thank you for sharing! I bet the Centralbadet has rarely resounded to a tropical chorus like the one at 3:00 to the end...

    This is the ideal tune for when we turn on the central heating in October. I found myself humming it and didn't know why. Then I realised why: "The Heat Is On"... (true) (lol tolhurst)

  • @noirionoirion Erik, you did brilliantly. The video captures the sensuality of the song perfectly. I love the dancing, so graceful...I remember when this first appeared in the charts. Have you directed any other music videos?

  • marca una era

  • @noirionoirion im soo jealous of you!

  • i showed my brother this this and the scene where Agnetha is wraped in a towel he almost died

  • @RuneTurtleBakke Listen to "On the Run" and "The Heat is On" back-to-back. They have the same melody, but the Manfred Mann song is in a minor key. They are both credited to Florrie Palmer. And they both have a refrain that says "The Heat is On." Seems like Palmer wrote the song that was a hit for Noosha Fox (1979), Mann rewrote the lyrics and called it "On the Run" (1980), and then Agnetha covered the original single in 1983. It happens!

  • @tsopuaifa I like Anna-Lie Rydé.

  • Amazing song, I forgot about this version, I thought it was another version of Glenn Frey's song XD
