The lady in the video, miming the vocals, is not the singer, as the uploader correctly points out, but she is A singer, and not just one of the few women who could ever make those hats look palatable. Really good singer, too. Her name is Billie Godfrey.

Thanks for the info. Looking her up on discogs.com, it says she sang backing vocals for acts including Womack & Womack. Is that her with the blonde hair in the 'Teardrops' video?

I’m sure the guy in the gray jacket, black boxers and socks with garters is Mataoh from Benidorm (British comedy show).

[@ohnoitisnathan32]

Yes, it is him (Jake Canuso). I had that in the video description. He appears in quite a few music videos from the early-mid 90s, like Kym Mazelle & Jocelyn Brown's 'No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)', Alex Party's 'Don't Give Me Your Life', 2 Unlimited's 'Here I Go', Bravado's 'Harmonica Man' (blocked on KZbin but on my Vimeo channel linked on my channel page here), and several others I have forgotten. He also appeared as a dancer on several TV performances, like Bananarama's 'More More More' on Disney Club.

Just so you all know they were singing about me :D

[@titantitan9735]

Great tune. Just don't know what she's saying. I sounds to me like she's saying, My Pecker's on the run, you dirty son of a gun. Anyone know the real lyrics?

[@ohnoitisnathan32]

It's "a man that's on the run is a dirty son of a gun". It's sampled from a 70s record, 'Touch and Go' by Ecstasy, Passion & Pain featuring Barbara Roy. The woman in the video is not the actual singer.

Dr slew vos dance

[@moaningpheromones]

I seriously thought it was 'Amanda's on the run' and 'the girl is on the run'. And I had the track on a CD here Dance Heat 95 which says 'Son Of A Gun'. Before the web you just had no idea what the hell was going on.

[@eichhornchen3096]

Back in the day I thought it was something like "America's on the run" and "Love is son of a gun" ... 😄

[@bluestar8768]

Where's the real singer???

[@dskellfloyd.9347]

La k of comments for this tune, guess you had to be in the music to get it, in a club where it's fresh and new that's being in the music as opposed to listening to it

[@ankurbanerjee6968]

Mat Zo brought me here

[@markcampbell6645]

Is this song about Prince Andrew 😆

[@bxlbjorn]

stealing voices from other people, other tracks, and putting a new face on it was a really 90s thing

[@bxlbjorn]

still my go to happy track

[@ohnoitisnathan32]

Yeah, though I think it was pretty obvious that the woman in the video is not singing the vocals. She also appears in the video for Womack & Womack's 'Teardrops' (as a backing singer in the studio, wearing a headband).
