Released in May 1982 as a single from their self-titled debut album, “I Ran (So Far Away)” by A Flock of Seagulls stands as a defining anthem of the early 1980s new wave and synth-pop era, reaching #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #1 in Australia.

“We were writing songs about the future, sci-fi, and UFOs because we were fascinated by comic books and space. When ‘I Ran’ took off on MTV, the video was everywhere. People became obsessed with my hair, but to us, it was just part of the visual package that went with the synth-pop sound.”

“I’ve always loved British comedy, and doing things like Sean’s Show was just a laugh for us. People expect me to sit in a dark room all day, so getting to go on a TV set and mess around with Sean was a nice antidote to all the seriousness.”

— Robert Smith

On December 29, 1993, Robert Smith made a memorable television appearance on Sean’s Show—the surreal, self-aware British sitcom created by and starring comedian Sean Hughes on Channel 4.
