"Run Runaway" is a hard rock song performed by the English band Slade. The song was written by Jim Lea and Noddy Holder and was on their 1983 album The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome. It reached No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart, and proved to be the band's last U.K. Top 10 hit single. The single was included on Canada's official 'Top 100 Singles of 1984' chart, where Run Runaway peaked at No. 84. The melody is inspired by the hymn "There Is a Happy Land." Holder himself summed the song up as "a rocky Scottish jig." The song is played frequently at UMass-Amherst basketball games.
