Listen to this. 26 years ago, our next guest had a number one hit called Runaway,
and at its peak
of popularity, this song was selling at the rate of 80,000 singles a day. It
has been performed by
Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys, and can currently be heard as the theme on
NBC's Crime Story. Here
now, singing Runaway with Paul and the band, please welcome, Dale Shannon.
As I walk along, I wonder, what went wrong if I was, that was so strong. And as
I still
walk on, I think of, to run together, while our hearts were young.
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel the pain, wishing you
were who I
to end this misery. And I wonder, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
why.
She ran away, and I wonder, where you're gonna stay, yeah. You will come away,
that's right,
why, why, why, why. Work it out, Paul. One, two.
