Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Born To Run - SNL

[@blocSonic]

Always loved their cover

[@shakethishouse]

F@#king Epic…Can’t believe I hadn’t heard this.

[@DickCarlsson]

They did this in just the right time, an epic song was reborn and the Boss got a real push!! A pop/punk/rock version that to me is just as good as the original, they both have their charm!!!

[@jonreynolds1655]

please don't shoot me !! but I just love the faster version ...tks all

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

I totally prefer this one, sorry not sorry Bruce.

[@wandercloud]

Wow... What awesome bassline!

[@singlesideman]

I saw this live. You're killing me. Thank you so much...

[@jonreynolds1655]

Orsm vocals by Holly ...he just smashed it for sure !! 🙂

[@LouiseOrrock]

Love your accent, theyd sometimes say to me, I thought perhaps sarcastically.

[@davidwjlloydart]

I will die on this hill, but Frankie's version is superior to the original...

[@AOTPfunsanity]

Got your back as any troops advance on us!

[@AlesKeber]

Whatever happens we will bring you back home ✊

[@grimmwerks]

I am from NJ and agree. Better than Bruce.

[@tobykeef5402]

Springsteen Even acknowledged it. He said he hated it because it was so perfect, especially with the bass solo.

[@GregInAZ]

The bass solo closes the deal. This is THE best version

[@Grrindog]

💥BASS💥

[@jameschavez6400]

Encore!,holly johnson -wings-band on the run would have been fitting next😁

[@OlDirtyMatress]

Besides Morrissey and Sinead… Best performance on SNL ever!

[@granto6738]

This fab 😍 loved them ❤

[@tomservo75]

This was actually the first time I ever heard this song was on this episode, and I looked for it forever but couldn't find it (this was before the Internet), finally found out that Bruce Springsteen wrote it.

[@JorgeCat78]

November 10, 1984 episode of Saturday Night Live with George Carlin hosting

[@MJCGuitar]

Great post!

[@ChrisClark5000]

Thanks!

[@jameschavez6400]

Looks like rice Springsteen and the e street band with a major clothing upgrade 😇❤️

[@DustyCustard]

The Frankie version, the only version.

[@ericthatsme]

Never would have put these guys and The Boss together. Huh.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

You can actually hear the lyrics in this version, but it's Frankie goes to Hollywood with a keyboard player, would have sounded dreadful without

[@TheKinoEye]

What was their 2nd song?

[@seanart1508]

Two Tribes

[@JustinRugnetta]

@@seanart1508 This was their second song, "Two Tribes" was their first. "Relax" hadn't;t been released yet.

[@seanart1508]

@@JustinRugnetta Relax was their first song followed by Two Tribes and Born to Run was just an album track off Welcome To The Pleasuredome album!!!

[@66BranDo]

@@seanart1508 A friend brought me the maxi-single of Relax back from London, way before it appeared on radio shows and charts. Yup, Relax before 2 Tribes. Fun times.

[@jnorten]

who is playing keyboards?

[@brownsheep506]

Peter Oxendale

[@woodykelleher9253]

Look at that drummer's mask! WTF?! PS. FGTH covering the boss WTF??

[@utchpunk9611]

Holly had a great voice. R.I.P

[@KieranOKeeffe1]

lol he's not dead! 😅

[@sonet66]

Thank F for that and yep great voice.

[@seanart1508]

Holly is alive & very well !

[@virgilrytaar9083]

He's still alive, even today!

[@michelleharper2940]

@@KieranOKeeffe1well holy 💩 I thought he had passed too! Good to know!

[@LouiseOrrock]

He has an excellent voice but i associate the song with Springsteen.

[@LouiseOrrock]

Similarly i think i prefer Barry Manilow's version of Could It Be Magic to Donna Summer's but prefer her version of McArthur Park to the original.
