abstract
  • %22Fox on the Run%22 is a song by the British band Sweet, first recorded in 1974. It was Sweet's first single that was written by the band, rather than producers Nicky Chinn & Mike Chapman. It was their 14th single and in 1975 reached number 2 on the British single list, 5 in the US, 1 in Australia, 1 in Germany, 1 in Denmark, 2 in Canada, 2 in the Netherlands, 2 in Norway, 3 in Austria, 3 in New Zealand and 10 in Finland and Sweden. The lyrics of the song are about groupies; %22fox%22 was a popular slang term at the time for an attractive woman.Two versions were recorded by Sweet. The original version was produced by Mike Chapman in association with Nicky Chinn on the European version of the 1974 album Desolation Boulevard. Sweet also recorded and produced a more pop-oriented version as a 7%22 single in 1975, which is the more familiar version of the song. The 1975 single version was included on the North American version of Desolation Boulevard.The song appears in the films Dazed And Confused, Detroit Rock City, When in Rome and Catch .44.The song shares some notable similarities with Band on the Run by Paul McCartney & Wings.
