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.
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.

Im watching the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest but think this is better than any of the songs. Thanks for the great songs and memories Bucks Fizz. Time for a reunion - please 🤞👍X
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.
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.
MG Metro turbo with Jay Aston at the wheel ,wow 80s heaven . Complete with Mike ,Bobby and Cheryl .This is brilliant .The fizz are still here I wonder if the Metro is?
@@zakurowolfalphasilverwolf Your comment makes no sense! It was a hit single in UK/Ireland. The album: Hand Cut was also a hit! Mentioned/shown on documentaries, heard someone talk about the album song came came off of: Hand Cut on the train last month. Also I heard this song playing very loud at Bluewater Shopping Centre and this bloke went ahhh this is Bucks fizz tune!!
@@mikekaraoke and yet in America, only a handful of people have heard of this group. The actually video doesn’t even had 500K views. The group is self is not well know, and when people type run for your life, greedo’s version is the first to pop up. That and the Beatles. I’m not saying that I don’t like it, I’m just saying I wish it was more popular and the group was more well known. You don’t have to bite me head off man
@@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! To be fair, this video had 67 million when first put out 7 years ago. Then for some reason record company took it off 12 years ago and not been same since! The group itself in general is rather well known just not in the US! I have very good examples earlier. And don't worry not that hungry yet to bite your head off lol
i was about 5 when we went to skegness to see these live & whilst they were setting up one of their roadies hit me in the corner of my eye with a speaker............ it goes to show how shit life is nowadys, cos if it happened today my mum would have made a claim. thank god for the 80s no STUPID no win no fee twats them days
Bought their first two cassettes, but have never heard this before today. Love the music of the era I grew up in, but being able to find music on the internet is pretty cool too.
Brings back some memories this one! How good does Mike Nolan look in this video? Have to laugh at the way Bobby G dives into the back of the car at the end!!!
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). I love ‘em.
*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
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!
I bought the new Bucks Fizz album (The Fizz as they're now called,) the other day and I can't wait for it to arrive in the post. I just hope it's as good as their old stuff.
I used to play this in my MG metro with mates singing it. Obviously I'd picked them up from a club, they were smashed out of their heads on larger... 😂👍🏻
As cheesy as all this might be now, when I was 10, was a fantastically exciting dance floor hit. This was also always played at school Christmas parties as with all Bucks Fizz earlier hits.
2.06 Cheryl looks gorgeous!!!!
Cheryl Baker...oh my god, so beautiful!
Fantastic production - so underrated
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
I'm one of the few Yanks that like Bucks Fizz. And I still love Jay. Always will.
Jay Aston was a ringer for my wife, nice memories. Catchy song. 👍
C'mon Bobby, get back together with the other 3
Would definitely buy a ticket to see all 4 of you back together again on stage. 😉

Cheryl & Jay were and still are Gorgeous, beautiful pretty all the words. Real Women were in the 80's.
My favourite bucks fizz track ❤
Mine too. I like a few others by them as well.
It's the 80s music ...what's not to like ...pure magic
Why isn't there music and happy singers like these nowadays?
Juan Pancho because today's music sucks.
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.
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.
Mike Nolan was and still is, my heart-throb!! Love Bucks Fizz! 🥰
I'm 27 and I love this, so catchy!
You have good taste in music the 1980s were amazing
Jay Aston.....😍
After all these years still brilliant!
I should be studying but I'm here watching all there videos. I love this band so much. Too bad I wasn't born in this era and I'm not even British.
I'm British but was born in 1999
@@Shagyamum we were born in the wrong era.
@@makipizon no we wern't
@@makipizon true
This was my era the 80s were brilliant with fantastic music the disco clubs on a Thursday Friday and Saturday nights were amazing and to live for 😜
Cheryl! You look amazing!
I can't believe I was 11 when this came out and I fancied Bobby. He was so much older than me! But I'm 48 now and I can see why I liked him!
Ha yes I was 11 also but I fancied Tommy Steele!!!!! (the actor) ha ha......agh........Happy Days.......big sigh!..........My fav Bucks fizz song. :)

Nah jay aston was much fitter than Bobby a day 😂
Brilliant group-super songs,vastly underrated-so superior to todays rap/crap!
Underrated by whom? Never were Bucks Fizz underrated..

Still listen to bucks fizz now love them
I love most of the earlier stuff before Bobby g started singing most of them.

Im 41yrs and didn't realise how hot Cheryl Baker was until now...phwoarrr!
Me neither mate.
you're both gay
It was always a toss up (excuse pun) as to whether Jay or Cheryl was the hottest.
They used to wear so,e filthy outfits too !
she's a national treasure
I used to fancy the pants off Cheryl

Why the SLIGHTLY sharp synth part in the choruses Andy?
Tim Rushent Art?
+Andy H You have nothing to be ashamed of. These tracks hold up quite well 30-years and more on. The video's a bit silly, though.
Andy H you wrote a timeless classic that still sounds good in 2017.
Seriously a these songs you wrote are amazing. I wish I had one millionth of your talent. still listening in 2017 x
ABBA living rent free in that bridge.
Their best song
one of the groups of the early 80s always on tv
GOLDEN CLASSIC !!!
long live Bucks Fizz
One of my most fav Fizz tracks! Happy days :)
typical 80's love it!!!
Love this song to the bone
Great pop.
Lol used to remember my brother pretending to be Mike and my nanna played Cheryl to this. Good childhood memories 😀
Superb !!!
Love Bucks Fizz forever!.
"the loneliness around you hurts like a knife, so you run, run for your life". Makes me cry every time....
I got into this song by Bucks Fizz back in March 2003 during my 3rd year at College. #GoodTimes
Bucks Fizz, обичам ви много !!!
By far my favorite Bucks Fizz song, I can't seem to stop listening on repeat!
With Eurovision passing us again...time to crank up the best band to win it back in the 80's!. Great track this!.
i ll never forget this band remind me on my youth they are great greetings from croatia i love so much bucks fizz
Loved Bucks Fizz. always will.
Great song.
Hard to believe that master guitarist Ian Bairnson wrote this innocuous piece of Euro disco!
This is a brilliant track in my opinion, and I'm not easily impressed.
Sadly no longer with us 😢 He co-wrote If you can’t stand the heat too. Love his guitar solo on London Town.
Love the bass
Coldone666 Thanks about the bass comment..andy
Amazing intros and lyrics to their songs.
one of my all time favourite from the fizz
Memories of great times. My favourite year 1983. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great to be reminded of this. Not heard it since it was released! God I wish I was back in the 80s
One of my favorite songs and music videos at Halloween time!
Cheryl looks absolutely stunning in this video. She is pretty anyway but she just looks amazing in this video. And I am a straight woman!
Cheryl baker so stunning I'm jealous
Jay Aston is gorgeous
Hooks as good as many Abba songs, no doubt. Production values top notch too.
great song!i just went and bought the ENTIRE bucks fizz back catalogue of singles from 81 on from a carboot-4 quid!
Still looks good Jay even now♥️♥️♥️
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.
They were probably a bit too English for the American market.
you probably fancy the men
Perhaps they were too 'kitschy' for American tastes, which back then seemed to consist more of singer-songwriters and macho rockstars.
And Rca is an American company.
Just like with Menudo and Five Star.
These days, RCA is part of Sony/BMG.
MG Metro turbo with Jay Aston at the wheel ,wow 80s heaven . Complete with Mike ,Bobby and Cheryl .This is brilliant .The fizz are still here I wonder if the Metro is?
nice bringing back to good times

Love this song!
Fucks Bizz are the greatest band in the world ever, just pure artistic geniuses. Such great song writing they really are unbelievably talented!
The style and production of this song slightly reminds me of the original theme music to the TV show Blockbusters.
Great Track. I find their stuff still lifts my spirits and gets me singing along, that can only be a good thing...
one of the best groups i have seen live , brilliant . !!!
Such nostalgia
Still love this. Played on Radio 2 the other week. Shows this group has so many more great tunes than Making Your Mind Up.
loved CHERYL when i was 24 gorgeous 1982_1985
Love em such a happy group glad there doing well
This song is always in my Halloween party playlist.
I love this song!!! Why is this not so popular
What you mean, still plays on radio, mentioned in 80's documentaries etc...... confused!

And I can confirm that it is . I was really impressed. Not a bad song on it.
Their new stuff is pretty good
Which one? F-z of pop, Smoke & Mirrors or Everything under the sun?
The good old days lol
Cheryl was always my favourite, I love it when she gets a chance to sing as the lead (not this one I know)
Omg, that giant head is so freaky!
Great song, they don't make music like this anymore
swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol bucks fizz
Great song, and amazing vid, matches the song a lot
It`s a great pop single so why is it never (or very rarely)played on the radio?
Sounds uncannily like "My Camera Never Lies" with its structure and refrain. Both great songs by Andy Hill.
I used to play this in my MG metro with mates singing it. Obviously I'd picked them up from a club, they were smashed out of their heads on larger... 😂👍🏻
Cheryl's legs are a national treasure
As cheesy as all this might be now, when I was 10, was a fantastically exciting dance floor hit. This was also always played at school Christmas parties as with all Bucks Fizz earlier hits.
Like the fright of you Nick.
I am a frightful and amazing individual.
Y-registration MG Metro Turbo!
A very rare car nowadays and would be worth up to £20k if in mint condition in today's market!
Are they worth that much now?!
I should have kept mine😒
Brings you to life!!
