I brought the 45 of this to "show and tell" in kindergarten. Nobody else had any idea what the hell was going on but damned if I didn't love every minute of it!
I would have been your best friend!
@@diane7262Me too
Did the teacher excuse herself/ himself and go smoke a doobie after ?
You were an individual at a young age. Hopefully, that hasn't changed!
I got the Canadian market 45 of this + blitzkrieg bop. Couldn't bring it to show and tell though because that was like 8 months ago. Tracks slap though
Saw The Sweet in concert , bloody excellent , shame can't see them again . Rob.
i saw the band SWEET here in perth 2nd of may 1986 , the day before i got married yeah
@@MrPizza063 DID YOU GO ON THE RUN OR GET MARRIED 😂🤣🤣😂👍😁
@@redliner4965 got married lol
when & where?
The year, 1975 ... I was 8 , at the bowling alley . Had a quarter , this kid I knew who was a couple years older than I. Suggested we play 2 songs on the juke box . Me I was kind of naive about music . So of course I let him choose the songs . The two songs he chose were sweet , Fox on the run and kiss , rock and roll all night . Opened me up to a whole world of audio bliss . I'll never forget that moment .
That's an awesome story the music then was SO much more creative than the Shit now. I wish I had a time machine. Where are you from AND what's going on there with THE VIRUS? I'M from Arizona and things every day are being closed or limited. Eating out is now banned but you can still order pick up and I think delivery.
@@kathryndogoloff5297 I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I am living in Albuquerque, NM , now . Yes that is a great memory. Sweet kinda fell off after 75 , but I definitely became a huge kiss fan . But fox on the run will always hold a special place in my heart . I can still feel that joy I felt that day . With the opening key board and the vocals bursting in I...I...I DONT WANNA KNOW YOUR NAME . the Corona virus here , schools shut down , converts and other large events canceled. Grocery stores empty of stock , starting tomorrow all restraunts will be carry out only . Me I was between jobs and my new job has been put on hold. My wife works from home so no change there .
@@ronnietarnacke5153 memories like that are literally priceless. They are what we can always turn to if we want that warm happy feeling. I never got into Kiss I was really young then I listened to rock because thank God of my much older sister so whatever she liked I liked. I needed to hear this to escape the scary present where viruses are spreading music sucks AND I'm SO far away from my mom and dad who are my BEST FRIENDS and I miss them incredibly right now and worry for them SO much everyday. Be safe and keep listening to awesome music.
I was 5
Good Choices: can't ever go wrong with Kiss
RIP Brian Connelly,Mick Tucker,Stevie Priest.Never forgotten.
I didn't know they had all died😢 so young!
Yeah it's so sad, but time holds us hostage for only so long and then us go.
That drumstick spin by Mick…..my❤️
Holy Cow, knew two had passed--but didn't know about the third! Now only 1 left.
Insane how this song was released half a century ago and people still listen and enjoy to it till date!!!
A couple years, ago Ace Frehley did a cover of it and that turned me on to the band.
I still do!
@@franklanzi2628
Me2….😂😂😂
The more ago we re going, the more quality..the more future, more gadgets 😂😂
Why is it insane? It's a great song.
No smoke machines, no laser shows, no giant screens...just pure talent, charisma and stage presence. God I miss the world I grew up in.
Same world dude, ever see the Wings Over America concert, that tour started only a year after Fox was recorded. Smoke, lasers, at least for Live and Let Die. Anyway FOTR is my favourite revenge song ever, and before they were ever called revenge songs, although Weird Al's One More Minute is probably close enough to tie. At any rate I largely agree with you, with the exception of Disco ( especially Disco ), and 99% of Country music I miss those radio years, hell I even miss the Bubblegum Pop.
Ich vermisse die Welt von damals auch. Das war wenigstens noch gute Musik!😁
Thanos?! Is that you?!
Me too
@@davidkillawee6 That era does not exist anymore. Those were the best of times!!
Music, People, and the world are very much different these days!!
I’d gladly take a time machine back in time!
Brian connolly was the frontman for the seventies
My God, passed so young
Bon Scott disagrees.
@@Jett-Crashno Freddie Mercury disagrees
Where’s my time machine……desperately need to go back in time when music was excellent !
When you find it, I want to go back with you!
me too! me too!
A much underrated band still rocking to this music 50 years on👌
They're on their Farewell Tour now, I'm going to see them in November.
Still rockin with Sweet in 2024 !!
Para muchos de nosotros los 70s se quedarón ahí no se movio más.
66 yrs old and still love this era of music. Reminds me of my drag racing days an chasing girls. Where did time go 👏👏
72 here 😮 same sentiments🎼🎸🎶🌹
67 😂thumbs up from me , just love this music
I’m 50 and 70s music is the soundtrack of my life
Same here. I was at Innsbrook USA near Binghamton, New York skiing (the resort doesn't exist now) and they were blaring it on the outside speaker system. The good old days.
naw, you're young-yet, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
This comes from a time of no Computers no auto tune, just Old School Guitar drums & bass & balls of Steel!!
Stevie wonder was using the vocoder, basically Auto tune.
Do you have any idea how much synthesizer is being used? lol. I hear reverb, too. Listen to some unplugged if that's what you want.
I'm guessing synthesizers and tape-delay are also old-school.
The years of my youth were great times.
These guys ROCKED. Listen to those vocals, how tight they are, solid harmony, great guitar and drum riffs- sweet was an awesome band!
Dad who are these Guys ? There The Band the Sweet son / They kick ass dad , Yes son I know . Im a huge sweet fan son. I AM NOW . The sweet kick ass hard My Music from the last 20 years EAT.
Que. Buena. Banda.
Me. Recuerda. Los. Años. 75. Y. 76. Hermosa. Epoca. Y. Muy. Bella. Musica. Bendiciones. Para. Todos
One of the finest intros ever , gets me everytime .after all these years it still gives me shivers , Brilliant song by a brilliant band . Please take me back to the 70’s .
@Paul Wilkinson me too!! I love this song so much 💜💜💜💜☺️
Can I with you please?
I was 7. My dad actually bought me the 45 record. He had no idea what he was buying, but a memory I will never forget.
@@shaleneowen3137 lovely memory to have

Best recorded vocals in Glam-Rock history.
Growing up in the 70s was incredible!
Best times EVER
Yeh man

@@tb-yz1ti cheers mate.
We were so lucky but we didn't know it too much fun
I am. I remember this song from the 70's . The 70"s and 80"s were great. I wish things could go back to the way things were then.
I remember when this song came out in 1975 when I was a senior in high school ! The 70s were an excellent time for Rock & Roll !
Welcome here. It's gone forever
I totally agree with you
The drummer twirling the drum stick!!! AWESOME!!!

I used to stay up late at night in my room and wait for this song to come on when I was a kid...I had a small transistor radio with that single white earbud wire...They used to play hit songs every 20 minutes or so on the radio back in the 70's...
rich martens you’re gonna have to give details about what a transistor radio is to those born after 1978, sadly
That's Cool. I Was Yong Also.
Hahaha I remember those days.
@@prwatt8026 I was Yang too...Yong 😂✌
Yeah now they play once every dam hour....;( even so called oldies stations play the same 30 song or so every DaM day...wat not enuf old songs around? Lol
RIP Steve Priest. Great bassist and singer from a great band. Just heard about his death. Gutted. Rock out in heaven, Steve.
Sad indeed only Andy is left .Great band .Rock out in heaven Steve 🎸

When did he die?
Steve Priest passed away on 04 June 2020.
One of the coolest songs of 1975.
One of the coolest songs of Rock n Roll history!
Ah to be in 6th grade again watching all those Foxes
@@xxvitorbgxx1187 i ki is ti

@ted ritola Bohemian rhapsody*
I mean rock n' roll doesn't get much better than this.
That drumming is EXCELLENT! Listen to the timing. Mick Tucker was one of the best drummers during this time.
Yup!
And the guy was also spinning the stick :v
Never before I saw a drummer spin the sticks while drumming, what skills.
@@fotioskatsoulis99 , he's using a double bass.
Yes! Very underrated. The jazz drummers from the early days could do it. Apparently he was a good observer.
This sounds as exciting today as it did back in '75. Never get tired of hearing it. Never! Sweet's best song.
Agree
I was 16 years old then. Horrible to think how old l am now. 🤤😝😲
@@lee-annebarrett366 :D :D You're not alone! I was 7 in 1975, so I'm also quite old now. Still, happy to have been a kid in the seventies and have all this awesome timeless music! Great memories!
Although both songs are great I disagree: Ballroom Blitz is WAY better.
they had many believe it or not.. one of the best bands ever because every album is fantatic
I was 12 years of age when Fox on the Run was released. I bought the single and played it over and over again on my record player. I never got tired of it and i still love it to this day especially the introduction.
Brilliant. This and Love is like Oxygen are masterpieces.
I don't know about y'all, but i can't get enough of this song.
Roasti Maine I definitely cannot!
Im with ya , And The 7DEEZ WERE SO MUCH FUN , I miss them badly , 70 ,71. 72 73 .74 .75,. 76 .77. 78. 79 , MY VERY GOOD FRIENDS
How good is it
@@larryronkq586 "Action" is my favourite among many others. They really give it some!
Absolutely pal. Powerful song.
Still listening to this great music this Sunday, June 25, 2023.
Awesome!
In 1975, I was listening to this song a lot. I was 13 back then. In 2016, I still listen to this song a lot, and I'm 54. Proof that I may be getting older, but I SURE AS HELL AM NOT TOO OLD TO ROCK!!!!
Hi Wild Man Dean! Where are you from? I´m from Finland. I was about 10-12 years old, when I heard this song the very first time! And now, as 55 years old woman, I love The Sweet, more than ever!!!! What is your favorite song? Mine is The Six Teens....and all their songs :) !!!!
+Päivi Partanen Itse kuulin Sweet ekan kerran 6-7 vuotta sitten (nyt 21v) ja onhan tämä kyl uskomattoman hienoa musiikkia
hi there we will never too old to hear on brian peace bee with him
Mike Tzai I agree!!! Where are you from? I´m from Finland. Have you seen Sweet in live concert? I haven´t, that´s a pity. Good Autumn to you and your loved ones :) !!!
Your comment made me smile. I was listening to the UK charts avidly and I was only 10 yrs old. This track brings back so many memories.
Shazam sent me here. This is not the song I was looking for but I’m glad I came anyway because this rock jam is awesome! 👍🏻
RIP the three members of The Sweet
Brian Connolly (October 5, 1945 - February 9, 1997), aged 51
Mick Tucker (July 17, 1947 - February 14, 2002), aged 54
Steve Priest (February 23, 1948 - June 4, 2020), aged 72
You will be remembered as legends.
just about that there is no doubt
❤❤❤❤❤
What a band and Andy still alive . Steve Priest the reason I own a Rickenbacker .
My too loved the 70
@@michaelmarshall1713love that Rickenbacker sound, so cool👍
This band was so underrated they are great
Never got true recognition which was an outrage
They got plenty of attention.
im sure smaller bands would kill for the amount of recognition this band got
I believe that the Sweet are the most underrated band in history. Arguably, I was very young when they were in their prime. Yet from reading many sources, they had more success in their native UK and Europe than in the USA. They were also pioneers of the 1970s UK Glam Rock movement which wasn't as recognized in the USA. After Steve Priest's passing, his daughter Lisa said on their live "Hellraiser" performance(video on TH-cam) that she was 5 years old when her daddy performed. And I agree--the Sweet were a great band indeed!
@@andymatthews7617 I could be wrong on this, but it seemed like Sweet got more recognition in their native UK and in Europe but not as much in the USA. If you mean they didn't get true recognition as musicians, do you mean that because of what the critics said? Being a musician myself, I believe they deserved recognition as musicians for many reasons. You might be interested to watch this British guitarist's analyzing and appreciation of Sweet's performing "Hellraiser."

54 YRS OLD MAN THIS TAKES ME BACK GREAT MUSIC!
Hi Mark ,you and I HAVE THE SAME SURNAME [ GARRETT ] , might we be related ,as well as liking THE SWEET , EXCELLENT . [ ROB GARRETT ] .
The drummer is bad ass!
Mick Tucker, yes he is a great drummer!! Looks good too haha 😅
I think this song is on the same level like dancing queen from Abba. A never forgotten song!
Ha! I like that lol
As good today as it was back then. Proving that good music does not have an expiration date. Love it!!!
I was 10 years old when this song was released... I'm 57 now... still a great tune!!!.
nice. i am 60 =)
I remember it well just a year behind you fantastic took me right back to better times
I heard this for the first time two days ago, it's great
This song is surprisingly underrated. I thought it would have more attention.
It is on rotation at my local BMW dealership. I love it!
I was a teenager when this came out. It was *definitely* big back in the day! ✨
I was 12!!...those guys blew it out of the water!!!1973-1977!!!👌🇬🇧🇺🇸
THERE WAS NO TH-cam IN THE 70s, Or it would have aT least 1 billion Views
When George Harrison wrote the music in 1970 it was called What is Life
RIP Steve Priest. Thank you for the memories.
I lost my fox to cancer sucks but I am grateful for the time we had to Heather best girl I ever loved n loved me back I miss LAUREEN PITTEY
Pittet
Well said mate sadly missed 😢😢
Classic band with legendary front man and many timeless classics!
This song came out on the airwaves in 1975, just before heading overseas for Navy duty. Of course, by the time I arrived back in the States, the song was long gone. Thank you for Oldies radio stations and TH-cam!!
40+ years and this song still kicks ass. Have to give credit to those enlightened souls who turn on new generations to classic songs through the movies. Desolation Blvd (American Version)!!!
Lords of Dogtown.
Dazed and Confused. one of the best soundtracks ever
Born in 1968 and grew up listening to all types of good music in the 70’s and then the great 80’s hit!!!! Fun times for sure!!!!
This song never gets old!! Excellent!!
Such a great song!
Can we all just appreciate how good he spins the drum stick @ 1:38!!!!!!
Mick Tucker the champion stick spinner
Dang.
Very impressive
🎯 💯 ✔️
What about that synthesizer solo its brilliant too !
Memories of Elementary school days. Teach was so cool , at recess he had a record player and would let us bring in records and play the whole period. This song was the coolest song in the world when your 8-9 years old. I was a huge KISS fan (back then how wasn't). I brought in my new Love Gun album. Sweet, Nazareth, Paul McCartney and Wings, Queen, Slade, and even the Carpenters. Those where the best times I ever had in school.
Sweet were one those bands who had songs that were always upbeat and are still timeless. 1963 boy.
Mick, Steve, Andy and Brian. LEGENDS!!!
Awesome mix vol. 2
Great song from the fantastic 70's
THE GREAT 7DEZ IN DEED
The Sweet is such a wonderful band, they need to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Am I right?
Yes!!!!
Only one surviving member so it'd be a somber introduction
Yes you are
@@stevenhenrickson6247 Thank you :)
@@daveg4236 yeah. If this does happen, there should be a contest and whoever wins gets to be there for Andy
Absolutely fabulous the sweet yayyyyyyy
R.I.P Steve. Thank you for all the wonderful music.
Damn! This band had hit after hit. I was 7 and I still love these songs now. Hall of famers in my book.
This "sweet" band lighting up the Rock'n Roll skies early and mid 70ties but seldom heard these days, in fact they resided on the top twenties for a good while back then. They deserve to be remembered and to have some credit...
+Ralf Gummerus One of my favorite bands of all time. So talented and they can all sing.
+Ralf Gummerus the best sweet the best group of rock and roll my age is 22 years but I love this group more than in my country Colombia ignorant reguetooneros not know of the best music in the world
+Chris Nolan .......that Steve guy's got some balls....dressing all feminine and stuff at times.........but he does make a pretty woman........(yes i said that out loud,lol).......
+Ralf Gummerus well said Ralf
This would be a hit if it came out in 2023
It was a hit when it came out in the 80s - and I still love it!!
@@pottawattami9970s
Oh how I loved growing up in the 1970's with all this fabulous music!!! 💜 💜😊
Brian. Every school boys dream to look as good as he did. And every school girls fantasy love.
61 and still listening Best music ever
I'm 80 and still listening.
Never gets old.
From the opening synthesizer swirl to the stomping, riff-heavy verse to the insanely catchy chorus - this is Sweet still in their pomp.
'Fox On The Run' is a dynamic, supercharged record that 47 years on, still has plenty of bite.
Guitar and bass intro was used by Quiet Riot for " Bang your head ".
And it's just freakin' fun too!
Thank you Patrick Bateman.
And I have the bite marks to show for it.
Sweet...sweet is the best band in my life in the 70s....they don't make music that this anymore..I miss my time line ..in that decade.. love you guys ❤️
A great song during the 70's. I still listen to this sing.
I love everything about this, the attitude (especially Steve Priest's), the costumes, the synth, everything!!!!!!
Born in '55...early 70s was my era.....
I still play all 70s music.....all the non ageing classics were my time....best era of music...i was so lucky....❤❤❤❤
The fact that this not only had 12 million views but also was found from a one second clip is genuinely insane.
Steve Priest, I can't thank you enough for the wonderful music you made. RIP.
Mick Tucker was a great drummer! He played some of the best triplets of any drummer! RIP Mick😔
Never gets old xoxo
My all time favorite group. All four incredibly talented
Was a huge fan in the 70s....middle school for me....
If this song comes on the car radio, I WILL be singing loudly. 🙂
As a teenager in the 90s I was going through my aunt’s old band T shirts in her room at my grandmother’s house. I found a Sweet Tee and an April Wine shirt and once I listened to the bands, I was hooked. I wore those band tees out and still listen to Sweet and April Wine.
Sweet memories of cruising in my 1974 Vega with this on my 8-Track. Those were great days of being a teen.
What a great song. It's probably been decades since I've heard this. A lost classic!
Sweet was one of the very few bands that were able to thrive both during and after disco died out.
That's true--Sweet definitely had much competition when disco and other music genres came on the scene.
Sweet never was considered disco, during that Era we called bands similar to them Glam Rock
I was 4 years old when this song came out. My sisters were 12 and 15 PRIME music lovers. They were my built in baby sitters which meant a lot of time listening to albums in the basement in 1975.
This was my first exposure on to music and 70s music is still I passion. I even learned how to play the keyboard. GREAT song.
very similar story..I was 4 too and my teen bro's running around the house singing this!..first song I think I can actually remember..Cool!
Omg i was there......best years 😊
Love this group
Absolutely awesome tune miss this kind of music
This song is possibly the most beautiful song I’ve ever listened to
Banyas Beans official I agree!
Sweet for ever.2023.
Just got chills from listening to this song it sure brings back memories:
How Sweet it is, all I can think of is playing air hockey, and when this song would play at our roller rink everybody would hit the floor. Memories indeed. Thank you for posting this.
The roller rink. Oh yeah, I remember that.
This song makes me want to go roller skate in a roller rink all doll'd up! I love the Sweet so much! They give me so many good feelings! Loved this song since i first heard it on the radio! 😍✨ Wish Brian and Mick were still here. At least they will always be alive in the music. With every new listener thier spirit remains alive. Thank You for the music and inspiration my beautiful glam rockers! ✨💕
I used to collect bottles just so I could roller skate on the weekend.
Loved all the music from Brian and the boys The 1970s were my era
Long time favorite of this song, but when Steve Priest does the "foxie on the run", it just makes me wish he'd had more of a solo part in this song. He had a great voice.
He had a helluva voice. Every member of the band had good pipes.
This was one of the songs I used to listen to on the way to school, when I went to high school. It made the journey suck less.
I love Sweet they deserved more views...🇬🇧🏴🏴💋💖
Deserves Rock N roll Hall of Fame, band a head of times
One of the first 45's I ever bought when I was 13 years old back in 1975 :)
I was 11. And there.
James Gunn you are the genious of the awesome mix soundtracks.. GoTG Vol2
efenege2 Reviving forgotten 70s music back into the mainstream.
What a great time to be a teen!! Sweet knocked it out of the park with this one!!!
Home run. 1 of many.😊
I told my son who is just about 19 just yesterday, "We used to make out a lot!!!!!!" He smiled.
I'm glad to hear Sweet is still around playing smaller gigs!! GO SEE THEM!
I have 14 years and i think that this song is EPIC
One of their best - Brian Connolly had a fab voice.
I cannot believe that Stevie priest has been gone for 2 years already, brilliant musician, in a brilliant band
GLAD that I met him a decade-plus ago in CT; signed my 'Best Of SWEET' insert - just ONLY wish I'd gone with the BOOK instead of sequined T-shirt.....
I'm really glad this this band and this song is getting the attention it deserves now.
WoW !
