'80s Hair: To a ludicrous extreme (though perhaps justified given that two of the band members were professional hairdressers).The '80s - for a band that's largely known for one song, they're an icon from that decade.Driven to Suicide: "Suicide Day" at the end of The Story Of A Young Heart.Cover Version: "This Used To Be My Playground" by Madonna from Virgin Voices 2.Attempted with The Story Of A Young Heart."I Ran" in particular is about an alien abduction. Their self-titled debut has a running theme of extraterrestrials.Chained to a Railway: In the music video for "Heartbeat Like A Drum", a woman is tied down to railroad tracks in the fashion of an old-time film, but surprisingly the train merely passes right over her, showing the whole thing to be an optical illusion."It's all right when you say you love me" in "The End".Broken Record: "This is the story of a young heart, this is the story of a young heart.".
Break-Up Song: "The End", "Suicide Day", and "How Could You Ever Leave Me".Book Ends: The Story Of A Young Heart starts off with the title track and ends with a slight reprise of the song at the end of "Suicide Day".Justified, in that Mike Score got the band's name from a misheard song lyric.

"Wishing" was taken from the group's second album, Listen (1983), which was moderately successful. In the U.K., "I Ran" didn't make the Top 40, but "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" reached number ten later that year in America, that single became a Top 40 hit in 1983, after "Space Age Love Song" peaked at number 30. The single climbed into the American Top Ten, taking the album along with it. "I Ran (So Far Away)" was released as the first single from the album, and MTV quickly picked up on its icily attractive video, which featured long shots of Mike Score and his distinctive, cascading hair. The band signed a major-label contract with Jive by the end of the year, and their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982. The group released its debut EP on Bill Nelson's Cocteau Records early in 1981, and while the record failed to chart, its lead track, "Telecommunication," became an underground hit in Euro-disco and new wave clubs. "I just ran, I ran all night and day / I couldn't get away.Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed the New Romantic band A Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later. "I walked along the avenue / I never thought I'd meet a girl like you… / With auburn hair and tawny eyes / The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through… / And I ran, I ran so far away," sang the Emmy winner. The "Since U Been Gone" singer's take on the British band's new wave classic was relatively faithful to the original version, though Y'all altered its dated studio production with crisp live instruments, and Clarkson added some of her signature vocal runs while belting out the track. On Tuesday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the 39-year-old pop star host performed an energetic cover of A Flock of Seagulls' 1982 hit "I Ran (So Far Away)" while sporting the decade's funky fashion in her NBC show's daily Kellyoke segment.įor the performance, which went down during the talk show's '80s week, Clarkson donned an eclectic look complete with a purple and green mixed pattern mini dress cinched by a black leather belt and paired with large gold earrings and a teased updo, with the members of her band Y'all also dressed in funky looks and hairstyles from the decade. Kelly Clarkson ran so far away - and wound up in the '80s!
