#SweetOfficial - เพลง
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
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!
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.
The fact that this not only had 12 million views but also was found from a one second clip is genuinely insane.
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.
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.

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
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 !
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.
❤❤❤
i WAS 14 YEARS OLD , AND SAW FOX ON THE RUN PERFORMED LIVE , EXCELLENT SONG ,ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER SWEET SONGS .ROB.

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.
Never get sick listening to this music at 67 😅😅😅
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 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

@@larryronkq586 "Action" is my favourite among many others. They really give it some!
Absolutely pal. Powerful song.
Growing up in the 70s was incredible!
Best times EVER
Yeh man
@@andymatthews7617 yeh man
@@tb-yz1ti cheers mate.
We were so lucky but we didn't know it too much fun
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👍
Where’s my time machine……desperately need to go back in time when music was excellent !
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.
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 🎸
@@antoniogoncalves8288 god,i loved and was loved once.when was is it?.i 'm not afraid to die,love was sooooo good
really, wen holly crap 🤦♂️ R I P , this is news to me , thanks for the info
When did he die?
Steve Priest passed away on 04 June 2020.
Best recorded vocals in Glam-Rock history.
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
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
The drummer twirling the drum stick!!! AWESOME!!!
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!
Mick, Steve, Andy and Brian. LEGENDS!!!
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."

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
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 ❤️
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 ] .
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
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.
Still listening to this banger in 2024
Still bangin, here, in the US! Keeping songs like this alive.
Right here! X
Big fan from Canada🇨🇦
Same! I completely forgot about this oldie but goodie until now.
Same!!!! 👏🏼
Classic band with legendary front man and many timeless classics!
Was a huge fan in the 70s....middle school for me....
If this song comes on the car radio, I WILL be singing loudly. 🙂
Great days fabulous band very very sadly missed 😢😢
Awesome mix vol. 2
Still listening to this great music this Sunday, June 25, 2023.
Awesome!
Mick Tucker was a great drummer! He played some of the best triplets of any drummer! RIP Mick😔
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
Damn! This band had hit after hit. I was 7 and I still love these songs now. Hall of famers in my book.
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.
Brian connolly was the frontman for the seventies
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.
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!
This would be a hit if it came out in 2023
Oh how I loved growing up in the 1970's with all this fabulous music!!! 💜 💜😊
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 😢😢
I think this song is on the same level like dancing queen from Abba. A never forgotten song!
Ha! I like that lol
I mean rock n' roll doesn't get much better than this.
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
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
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.
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.
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.....
Steve Priest, I can't thank you enough for the wonderful music you made. RIP.
I love everything about this, the attitude (especially Steve Priest's), the costumes, the synth, everything!!!!!!
I was 14 and ready for high school when this song came out - this really takes me back and I loved this band then. Steve Priest's backing vocals are so unique it's impossible to copy! Underrated band!
I had posters with Sweet covering my boyroom walls back in the 70s. Playing all the records LOUD every day after school. Just pure skill and joy from Sweet.
Great song from the fantastic 70's
THE GREAT 7DEZ IN DEED
This song is possibly the most beautiful song I’ve ever listened to
Banyas Beans official I agree!
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!
The years of my youth were great times.
What a great song. It's probably been decades since I've heard this. A lost classic!
This song never gets old!! Excellent!!
Sweet were one those bands who had songs that were always upbeat and are still timeless. 1963 boy.
You get old, but the music stays young !!! It is amazing - People in those days did not realise how good these musicians actually were.
i love it when mick does his stick twirls. lol
Me too! As a former majorette, I appreciate the stick twirls, I could do that with my baton!
R.I.P. Steve Priest
😭😭💔💔
EVERYTHING a Rock Band was meant to be 👍🎸🎶🤘
Huge Sweet fan even at 65. I loved the Sweet in the 70s. Mick was the best drummer the UK ever had. His timing was unique and unbelievable. A very talented and gifted man [The man with Golden Arms] Teenage Rampage, Fox on the Run and Ballroom Blitz. All amazing even today in 2021.
RIP Steve Priest, bassist and founding member.
😭😭😭😭
Good night, God bless you were great RIP
A great song during the 70's. I still listen to this sing.
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!!!!
I had this 45 in the late 70s and I played it over and over everyday . My first favorite song. Thanks, Sweet.
I love Sweet they deserved more views...🇬🇧🏴🏴💋💖
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.
These Cats knew how to make an entrance and work a room by sheer raw talent BRILLIANT musicians and vocalists😊
Just got chills from listening to this song it sure brings back memories:
My all time favorite group. All four incredibly talented
Such a good group. Incredible bass and vocals.
*¿-Who In August 2023 Listens To These Rock Legends.?*

This is an 85 mph song when you are driving in your car. Thanks Guys! Still as good as it was a few years ago when I was a teen.
James Gunn you are the genious of the awesome mix soundtracks.. GoTG Vol2
efenege2 Reviving forgotten 70s music back into the mainstream.
Never gets old.
I am here because I love this band!!!! Wish I would have cherished more groups from my teenage years. Glad I am still here to enjoy and appreciate them now. Sweet is awesome!!!!!!
James Gunn have a great musical taste, one which I identify, it is really cool that he brings me to memory all this great music.
61 and still listening Best music ever
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.
The views on this video are gonna sky Rocket...
SpinKing69 I see what you did there.
I am Groot
All Hail God Goku I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot
