This Was Why Our Parents Were Frightened

I Ran by Flock Of Seagulls

The song sounds futuristic. The video looks futuristic. The hair.....maybe the future is not what we think.

Again, this was one of those songs and videos that was EVERYWHERE back in the early 80's. The guitar sounded like a spaceship laser weapon. The guitarist looked like a computer programmer. The bass thumped along like a rocket. The drummer was playing plastic plates!! The lead singer (Mike Score) was dressed really cool (I wanted a shirt that buttoned up like that for the entire decade of the 80's). His voice sounded like it was coming out of the Aurora Borealis. The camera was moving the whole time and spinning. The set was mirrors and aluminum foil. The girls had futuristic makeup and were wearing plastic bags as dresses. But the song....it was awesome.

Please enjoy the video.
