Bucks Fizz - Run For Your Life

[@rhianjones1319]

I can’t believe I was eighteen years old when Run For Your Life by Bucks Fizz first came out they were the best group i’v ever heard of

[@zanducktv2398]

Cheryl mentioned in a Facebook live chat a while back that Jay fell ill during the recording of the video, so the second half as seen here with the white backdrop had to be shot quickly to meet the deadline, and differed from the planned continuation of the storyline. Wonder what happened in the original storyline then, more sp 👀 ky goings on? 👻 A prologue would’ve been good to set the scene too. Wonder where that Chums magazine came from. I love that the first verse lyrics are quite simple and straightforward then the second verse is a bit more intense, almost like a different song. Then it takes a moment to realise what the middle eight is on about, clever.

Great Track. I find their stuff still lifts my spirits and gets me singing along, that can only be a good thing...

[@vcolino]

Why isn't there music and happy singers like these nowadays?

[@leesas_classics1722]

Juan Pancho because today's music sucks.

[@StudiosRick]

Because music nowadays have the sexuality as the main goal... I think that music nowadays wants to hurt us on purpose, and the reason? I don't know why.

[@AKATenn]

corporate control and consolidation of the music industry leading to a select few people choosing all the music that gets played on the radio and tv nowadays.

[@emilyvass9730]

By far my favorite Bucks Fizz song, I can't seem to stop listening on repeat!

These 4 were a great looking bunch. They had some great material and were vocally really good. Love me some Bucks Fizz for sure!

[@kevinallcock1946]

one of the best groups i have seen live , brilliant . !!!

[@StuAcker]

I love Bucks Fizz and this is one of their best songs. The video is worth checking out because: a) Mike Nolan looks incredible b) The epic song itself c) 03:35 - the camp dancing suit of armour!

[@ahillesq001]

Much as I love this track...sometime in about 1983 I met up with Trevor Horn, (we weren't close friends but would get together to compare notes) and he asked me what I'd been up to and I played him a rough mix of this track. I asked what he'd been up to and he played me a rough mix of "Owner of a Lonely Heart" that he'd done with YES. I immediately made the decision NOT to be a producer and just write songs because I knew I couldn't ever compete with someone who was that good.

[@timrushent7981]

Why the SLIGHTLY sharp synth part in the choruses Andy?

[@rjmcallister1888]

Cheryl Baker or Jay Aston, it doesn't matter. Both lovely, then and now. Good song, again I don't know why RCA didn't promote them over here in the US.

[@ajs41]

They were probably a bit too English for the American market.

[@bp6329]

you probably fancy the men

[@yellowpsychopath]

Perhaps they were too 'kitschy' for American tastes, which back then seemed to consist more of singer-songwriters and macho rockstars.

[@preciousjey]

And Rca is an American company. Just like with Menudo and Five Star.

[@rjmcallister1888]

These days, RCA is part of Sony/BMG.

[@CinnamonVulpes]

*actual real story of how I found this song among several others* I went to explore an abandoned house with my partner because it sounded fun, and while looking for any other interesting stuff aside from broken plates, abandoned coats and suitcases, bottles of medicine and crates full of jars, I stumbled upon 2 small, old cassettes with the tape all out and tangled. We lifted some of the bricks, pulled out the tape and then rolled it all up and straightened it out so it would be possible to listen to them. I looked at what was written on one of them, and one of the many song names was “Run For Your Life”. Of course, I yelled, looked back at the house and we ran away. Fast forward a few months, we finally found a working cassette player and tried them out. The first one was empty, but the second one had all these songs on it. We actually liked them and tried to find the songs on youtube. Eventually, we found this video and enjoyed the song in better quality. So, thanks to whomever abandoned that cassette and helped us discover Bucks Fizz

[@dmitriyv7103]

I know. Cheryl has said before that cos the MYMU skirt rip clip inevitably gets shown around Eurovision time, people of a certain age only know them for that, and when they do radio interviews lots of stations haven’t got any Bucks Fizz on their playlists, or again only MYMU cos they’re considered old hat which is a shame (understatement).

@@mikekaraoke ​ and yet in America, only a handful of people have heard of this group. The actually video doesn’t even had 500K views.

@@zakurowolfalphasilverwolf Now this is making a lot more sense, your from the US! They were really big in Europe and a few outside there like in Australia!

[@fforvessent]

A very clever and probably moderately expensive video for 1983. The song is a throwback to 1982 (Land of Make Believe/My Camera Never Lies) and was probably the last they recorded in that style with that dance routine. It's follow up (When We Were Young) is distinctly more adult-orientated (written by Warren Bacall) with what should have been a follow up of Invisible (Mike Batt of Womble fame) and then Oh Suzanne, (Warren Bacall) Sadly for what ever reason the ridiculous London Town was released, and although it's extended issue is far superior to its 7" release was probably the death knell for chart performance after.

[@FizzPunk]

I think Oh Suzanne was on the B-side of WWWY on 7 and 12 "format, on the 12"When we were at war was added. A very epic song as well!! I loved the WWWY, Oh Suzanne, Rules of the Game etc format,
