An excellent sonic experience, they were pioneers in the early 1980s

[@BEHEDETY]

this is magic!

[@blp100]

Most 80’s song I’ve ever heard

[@ethanbarc]

I absolutely love this song so much

[@rockinggator969]

One of my favorite songs from the 80s. I remember roller skating to this song over and over.

[@ronrice1931]

Hadn't heard them live before, a newfound appreciation! Definitely a song that defined the '80s. The 'Firestarter'-esque hair style is etched in my memory of those days - such as it is. ;)

[@salvatorebarbato2538]

Excellent 80s Group!

[@yesterdayfortoday592]

Excellent 80s Hair!

[@bluecollar58]

No , no one wore.

[@gbcocean1955]

Vid/Audio running faster than normal

[@sixstringhans-tone5574]

Must of been the first time the crowd had heard the song cuz nobody was dancing. I remember watching their video of this song on MTV when I was 7-8 years old. The best part of MTV when it first came out was they didn’t commercials! Later that’s all MTV or any other TV station is all commercials!!! 🙄🤣😂 ✌🏼

[@AJ17_]

Nope... this is from the UK show The Tube. I believe this episode is from the fall of 1982 & "I Ran" was released as a single in March of that year. The audience on The Tube was always SUPER picky and judgmental. AFOS weren't as popular in their native UK as they were in America. A lot of Brits saw them as a joke or a novelty act because of Mike's crazy hairstyle.

[@sixstringhans-tone5574]

@@AJ17_ Jeez, well that’s lame! But still at the same time if it came in March of that year, I would say that still is a relatively a new song, cuz I’m sure not everybody had obviously heard it. But I get it too, if there’s a lame picky crowd, but come on, cuz if I’m at a live show I’m at least rockin out, tapping my foot, or headbangin to a live show! 🤘🏼✌🏼

[@kkwok9]

Oh yes!

[@minsterhill]

would have liked it and subscribed if the silly logo wasn't across the middle

[@youlove73]

you know your young hearing this🤷‍♂, while others are getting old

[@conanlabiche]

that hair..... and to think he's bald now

[@Pwj579]

Gotta love the Scots

[@dbergum1]

Great music but you banner is very annoying...Why??

[@GermanDreadnought]

i saw thumbnail and i thought Trump had a band in the 80s

[@UnderWorldOfDarkness]

Dislike ... bet banner out from video

[@gregusmc2868]

One of the worst songs ever. I was in HS when this hit MTV and my friends and I laughed our heads off. (Then put on some Floyd to get this washed out of our ears)

[@shyman99]

And yet you made a point to click on this video. Time for Karen to wash out her ears again. Some people never grow up.

[@gregusmc2868]

Time for you to develop some taste in music. I just watched 20 seconds so I could get my haircut correctly. 😂😘 Enjoy your schlock!

[@LuddyVonBeat]

@@gregusmc2868 Flock of Seagull was far more exciting for the teenagers then Floyd in the 80s. New wave was a fresh new sound, just like rock n roll was in the 50s. It kept my hormones going.
