The quintessential "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls from 1982. A New Wave dance classic no matter how many times it's played.
In an interview with Michelle Russo in 1999, A Flock of Seagulls band member Mike Score said; "the early 80's was an era that had a certain kind of vibe to it. So that lead's you to create a certain sound. Since then my influences have been different like in the early 80's, my influences we're from some of the 60's bands & Disco-that's what created the 80's.

Feb 22, 2005 | 8:57 pm3:56 --- is an extended version? Boy, I'd hate to hear the short version
Actually the extended version lasted as long as I felt, a remix worked wonders on my dance floor. But I can see your point, if you only had one copy! If that was the case with me, I would never had played this record. Since I did, and it did so well, I give it a 8 on my scale from 1-10.
