Hello, everyone -- thought I'd clear something up for you. The reason the lip-synching on this isn't great is that this recording is from our first album and we weren't told in advance we were going to be doing this. We had been, at that point, performing the song a little differently live for some time. Cherie was given no time to listen to the record or to rehearse singing along to it. We just showed up, did a couple of takes and that was that. (And yes, that's me on bass in this video, not Michael Steele).
@@carolineferreira4420 Thank you, Caroline. Here's a little secret -- you can play almost any bass line to this song just as long as it's got some rhythm.
To everyone who responded to my comment below, many thanks for the words of support. I've read them all and appreciated them. Glad to meet you virtually!
Hi, Jackie! Awesome to see you here 😊 This was before my time, but I heard about the band from the movie, and now I’m going back and watching your old performances and interviews. Must have been such an interesting, crazy experience!! As someone who always dreamed of being in a band, but never did, you girls have my full respect for going out there and living it- against the odds!! You’re all bad ass 😎👍 Take care, God bless you 💜💙💜🎸
People don't realize what a big deal this band was. back then women rockers dealt with nothing but bullshit from make rockers and producers etc and the runaways were little more than kids and got pretty much bullied. True icons who paved the way for many others.
Both of them are good. Caroline is trying her best and I think it came out good, this one is good aswell. Why doesn’t anyone like both of them? It’s always ‘only Caroline’s’ or ‘only the original’?
Joan and her band were the most famous group to have their tour bus break down in the bump in a road town that I grew up in. It was early to mid 80's. One of my friends was her biggest fan. He played her songs all the time. I saw this video and it reminded me of him. We lost him a couple of years back, but Joan Jett and the Blackhearts was always his favorite band. Funny how a song can bring back all of those memories. Here's to you Joan Jett and the Blackhearts!!
@@ChrisMacal Riders on the storm. Into this world their born. Into this world their thrown. Like a dog without a bone. Sweat memories will die. Riders on the storm. OHHH YEAHHH! They can ride my lizard king any day. No age limit to ride this ride. Just gotta be hot!
The mighty Runaways! From Glam'n'Glitter Anthems like Jeepster, Ziggy Stardust,Teenage Rampage, 48 Crash or I'm 18 to Punk Classics like Blitzkrieg Bop, Pretty Vacant, New Rose, Sonic Reducer or Blank Generation. The Runaways mixed the best of both worlds. This Girls were far ahead of their time. Loved them since I was a 15 year old kid. Now I'm 62 and nothing has changed.
Yes, check out The Warning. Ale on bass in this clip was 13, Pau on drums 16 and Dany 18, concert was from 2018. Just been signed by Lava for a 5 album deal. ruclips.net/video/TeIbG8nkOiU/видео.html
We forget how controversial the lyrics and band were for their time. They are amazing, paved the way for many many female rockers. Thank you for existing
The truth is, that in 1976-'77, only Rock n Roll nerds who read music magazines knew a band like the Runaways even existed. They were completely unknown to the average mainstream listener, who would be listening to stuff like Frampton Comes Alive, Boston, Bat out of Hell, Night Moves, Fleetwood Mac or Hotel California. Even Blondie or Talking Heads were still under the mainstream radar at that time. I first learned about 'em at the age of 13 in a 1976 issue of Rock Scene magazine. A black and white one page photo spread. I bought the magazine for the KISS article.
Hi, everyone - since this seems to be a page with a lot of fans of The Runaways, I'm popping in to let you know I'll be doing another live-streamed AMA (ask me anything) on RUclips on Sat. Sept. 27th at 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST. It will be available to watch later on my RUclips Channel under the videos tab. Since I've gotten a lot of questions about what I think about the various books & movies on The Runaways, I'll answer that question first and then we can discuss whatever people want (books, music, trivia, cats, gender, the best chocolate brands -- whatever). Come on by if you are free.
I don't think they should be in the rock and roll hall of fame because the rock and roll hall of fame is bullshit . The number of fantastic bands that are not in and some of the choices of inductees is mind boggling . We need a proper way to honour legends of ROCK .
Mind-boggling that they're all 16-17 here. That's crazy and unheard of for any male band to be signed, putting out a record, hit song, music video, during that time period, etc. The fact that they're an all-female band on top if it, insane.
Nice info , I looked it up , she ( real name Jackie Fuchs ) appeared on 4 episodes of Jeopardy and won over 87k , and she also appeared on The Dating Game , Who Wants To Be a Millionaire , and The Chase ( Game Show Network )
She quit the band because the band manager Kim Fowley drugged and raped her in a room full of people including Joan Jett who watched while it happened.
@@xx_b33_xx i mean carolines is higher pitched or something but tone wise idk how else she would sing it. I didn’t hear the whole song just that small part in her reels where she’s promoting it coming out
Me too, class of '76. I finally met other collectors who had seen the band super early when they played in their street clothes. Wild Man Sams in Garden Grove, Ca. was a super early appearance by them, and I used to visit the place cuz it still had an open mic night.
@@Reblwitoutacause Yes and no. Usually these types of promo videos are done with the studio recording playing aloud and the band members mock playing/singing along. Otherwise if they did it the other way around it would be more difficult to sync the playing/singing with the actual.

They were just a bunch of girls(they literally were in their mid teens)who loved rock music and decided to put together a band.And they put up with a lot of crap to live that dream.It takes a lot of courage to live your dream when every tells you not to.
"Cherry Bomb" was quickly written by Joan and Kim just for Currie to audition for the band, because the band members could not perform the song she originally chose to sing.
@@cynthiacorcoran9389 -- Actually, the singer here IS Cherie Currie -- who did you think it was? And, the OP was right, she was clearly not singing all that was in the video and it's a good bet this was lip syncing -- what else could it be?
I’m parked in front of a souvenir shop on Hollywood Boulevard and they were playing it inside. Never heard this song before, but the title was super easy to search up. CHERRY BOMB!!
The world is a pretty strange place when you find that Fuchs, the bass player, graduated Harvard with Obama. Or that she was a "Jeopardy" Champion more than 35 years later.
@@lanajeanvecchione9659 I never said that being talented, smart and beautiful is strange. What IS strange is her life encounters while being an obvious polymath in various forms, which I guess you didn't get with my use of strange. All around, she's a great lady.
@@yawaramin4771 Lip-synching doesn't bother me, many of the old school bands did it- KISS, Ozzy, ABBA... they've all done it. How could they put out a nice video huffing and puffing and gasping for breath after dancing and throwing themselves around the stage? You really see it in television performances such as with The Sweet, Heart, The Mamas and the Papas, Olivia Newton John's "Magic", Madonna etc.
The band was immense sounding. They played through the big Marshall amps of the time and they had a road crew even for playing LA clubs. No band ever sounded like them before and certainly after.
I was playing in bands and on the scene back then, and knew of these gals. But never crossed paths. Ive always wondered about there equipment - did they choose it themselves, and their setup for live gigs. I wish they would talk about their gear they used back then .....
@@Bluestone524 original? Lol after the runaway all her songs was cover if she was that original she would've take her ass and compose a song by herself
For those interrested, Jackie is the designer of her first Boardgame called Rock Hard: 1977 by publisher Devir - allows games for groups of between 2 and 5 players, from 14 years old, in games lasting about 45-90 minutes. It will be out around August 2024, go get it!!
Your saying they are still back in the day? Are they having ground hog day constantly? Hmmm I've got an idea for a movie, oh and you should try learning English.
Still one of my favourite songs. Sadly did not see them live, as never heard of the band when they played London. Bumped in to them at Garlic&Shots in London after gig. and started talking, as I'm swedish as well. Was given a tape, played in the bar, and said that is amazing stuff, you should have no problems getting signed. Of course they were already very famous.....
I mean who knows it could come back around- I mean I've been seeing a lot of people going back to older things lately soooo... Who knows this type of rock music could come back around
They were so mature for their ages, ahead of their time and created amazing history, along with going through alot. They are my favorite and have so much respect for them.
Bob Dylan was delighted when Johnny Cash came to visit while recording a new record. They sang some songs. .somed some hash. And "Johnny Cash gave me his Guitar." He was only in his 20's. And he was told it's a big honor a country tradition.
@@augustbliss uhhh.....no. They were a decent-enough pop band if you like that kinda thing. Nothing about them warrants a reaction like that, it's ridiculous
@@augustbliss You're the one text-screaming about a pop group. Like I said, nothing about The Bangles warrants an explosive overreaction at the mere mention of their name. How do you come back with "don't freak out" when that's basically what I was saying? I mean if this is your reaction to the Bangles then what happens when you're confronted with genuinely terrible pop music? ICU? How did you even survive the boy band era?
To Joanie: thank you for being a better person then the people who have tried to throw you under the bus. You know who they are, I know who they are. You are better than that, you're better than them, you're better than most, and you're my favorite person in the world! I love you more than anything, sweet Moon child! 🤗♾️❤️
I hope one day they put this group into the rock n roll hall of fame because they were true pioneers of female rock power and they deserve their credit!!!!!
@@maria-zy2pfGoldie and the Gingerbreads beat them by several years. They were active between 1962 to 1967 and were the first all female rock band signed to a major label.
I still can’t believe Sandy threw Sid Vicious into the London River because he kept on trying to get at Joan. Wish they put that into the Runaways Movie. R.I.P. Sandy😢

I might be 63, but the Videos of The Runaways always take me back in time to when it was New. Love the Foxy's Bass guitar playing, Queens of Noise was and still is a Ripper of an album. They don't make them like they used too.
I'm the same age as the ladies in the band, and I live in New Orleans. My friends and I used to drive out into the swamp late at night and listen to them on KAAY-AM out of Little Rock, Arkansas. They inspired me to run away and I DID! Age 16, my own apartment, job, motorcycle, everything. Still going strong all these years later! Joan Jett played an amphitheater on Roanoke Island, and it was so loud, you could hear them all over town!
Was so inspired by y’all growing up! Realizing I was gay I was so closed off not wanting to let people in to get to know me! This song gave me strength even as a little one
@@NeoGee Images can be retouched and the sound was either lip synced or dubbed which is shown at the 50 sec point of the video. She can't be singing with her head back and the mike at her waist.
Saw the run aways open for the Ramones Jan 1977 at the Aragon Ball Room in Chicago so dammed cold that night. We came up from east chi Indiana my cousin our dates met my so cool big sister Rita who ran clubs there (Rita Lee Green chi trib obit,s). I was 19 yrs old. The girls rocked, we had fun. Wish I could run back to 1977 right now. Chicago was more gritty but I miss it all. 😊
I first saw her when i was a teenager. I had played in a few Rock bands and just began traveling. It was like joining the circus . Not unlike being caged and released on stage to perform. I saw Cherrie Currie in a magazine and i believe on television. She appeared to be very attractive and high energy . Something about her eyes seemed telling...as if she was a deep person. People often thought she was sexy...but in her eyes she seemed romantic and sometimes sad. She always came across as interesting and i always wondered what it would be like to have a conversation with her. ..or to be in a band with her...or to have laughs with her. She looked dreamy...
I saw Lita Ford tonight in my small city, she attracted the biggest crowd the city has ever seen. She was freaking BADASS and performed PERFECTLY and was definitely the most badass woman I’ve ever seen perform live. She even waved and smiled to my mom and I. ROCK ON 🤘
I still remember reading CREEM magazine seeing a teenage Joan Jett in a backstage room of a sports arena with Edward Van Halen and some bodyguard in a fancy business suit in the background . Those were the days . I wish I had a GoPro back then .
The amount of talent in this band was mind-numbing. Even leaving aside anything else, Joan Jett and Lita Ford and Sandy West are enough to blow the doors off anything.
Love your part Jackie. But even back in the day sitting in the basement of a close friend’s house hearing this song/ album for the first time-( back in the 70s ) I was a huge you and Lita fan .!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the comment about lipsyncing. You guys are great. I was "that" kid who bought your record while my friends were buying Stayin Alive and Frampton Comes Alive. I bought it at Montgomery Ward in 76 or 77. I had it until I lost my belonging to a house fire in 2003. I miss that record alot.
Cherry Bomb was one of those tracks that defined a moment in life for many people... thank you for that. it was a magical time.... makes me feel like i did back when Cheap Trick was doing Surrender/I Want You To Want Me
Wow! I'm 55 and this is the first time I've ever heard this song or any song by this group before. This is great, this is raw, this is punk. Girl power! I love it.
@@jameslangley6779 This genre wasn’t found on any media platform when it was released. I’m also 55 grew up on classic rock,top 40, 80’s college radio and Hair metal. Only heard of the Runaways through Joan Jett so no need to be a douche. Signed Generation X.

@Benjamin Riggs Outdoors &All great song please out The Runaways Debut Album Review on my channel
Lol, me also
😂😂😂
I’m parked in front of a souvenir shop on Hollywood Boulevard and they were playing it inside. Never heard this song before, but the title was super easy to search up.
CHERRY BOMB!!
As a man I have always loved this song for years now. What can I say? I love good music. Charie is a phenom as a front woman
The world is a pretty strange place when you find that Fuchs, the bass player, graduated Harvard with Obama. Or that she was a "Jeopardy" Champion more than 35 years later.
Or that she commented on this very video explaining the lip-synching.
@@yawaramin4771 Yeah I saw that (lol)
@@lanajeanvecchione9659 I never said that being talented, smart and beautiful is strange. What IS strange is her life encounters while being an obvious polymath in various forms, which I guess you didn't get with my use of strange. All around, she's a great lady.
@@yawaramin4771 Lip-synching doesn't bother me, many of the old school bands did it- KISS, Ozzy, ABBA... they've all done it. How could they put out a nice video huffing and puffing and gasping for breath after dancing and throwing themselves around the stage? You really see it in television performances such as with The Sweet, Heart, The Mamas and the Papas, Olivia Newton John's "Magic", Madonna etc.
Makes perfect sense it’s Government “music “
I was 15 when The Runaways hit the music scene. They were complete badasses.
The band was immense sounding. They played through the big Marshall amps of the time and they had a road crew even for playing LA clubs. No band ever sounded like them before and certainly after.
@@Pimp-Master Meh. All of these videos featuring Fanny years earlier blow them TF out of the water.
they were actual underaged teens at that time 0-0
It isn't often I wish I were born to an earlier generation, but these women give me that type of nostalgia.
They deserve rock and roll hall of fame no less!!!
Those were the days. Great song!
Still a bomb of a song after all these years. Ah the memories of high school. The Runaways & Suzi Q rocked my world as a teenage boy.
I wish boys still liked that kinda of girl, nowdays guys look at me like im crazy for dressing and acting like im in the runaways
Yes and as a girl they do too
Suzi Q=Leather Tuscadaro from Happy Days and boy was she a heart breaker. Then Lita And Joan in the 80's.
I was playing in bands and on the scene back then, and knew of these gals. But never crossed paths. Ive always wondered about there equipment - did they choose it themselves, and their setup for live gigs. I wish they would talk about their gear they used back then .....
Joan Jett is one of the hottest women I’ve ever seen. She’s smart, soulful, gorgeous.
She kicks ass. A true original.
@@Bluestone524 original? Lol after the runaway all her songs was cover if she was that original she would've take her ass and compose a song by herself
Joan Jett was absolutely gorgeous she reminded me a little bit of Janet from Three's Company back in those days.
@@PredatorKingdom I always thought that too, that Joan Jett looks like Joyce Dewitt. :)
Way hotter fully clothed even next to Currie.
This is pure badass, I swear rocker chicks from the late 70s are the best ever of all-time! Their edginess was off the charts!
The STD charts at the local health clinic…
For those interrested, Jackie is the designer of her first Boardgame called Rock Hard: 1977 by publisher Devir - allows games for groups of between 2 and 5 players, from 14 years old, in games lasting about 45-90 minutes. It will be out around August 2024, go get it!!
Joan Jett and Lita Ford are still totally bad ass women back in the day.
This comment F's with the brain.
Your saying they are still back in the day? Are they having ground hog day constantly? Hmmm I've got an idea for a movie, oh and you should try learning English.
all 5 of those girls are badass. Cherie is the coolest, though.
not lita tho shes homophobic
@@arrypottah3436 especially lita she's based
I can´t stop looking at Joan, she´s so talented , badass and so ridiculously good looking.
@museack That's like being the dumbest kid in the room at a MENSA meeting.
ОНА МОЯ МАТЬ БЛЯТЬ
Joan Jett?
I’m here to cleanse my ears from these covers
FR
fr, no cover seems to live up to the original imo, but joan jett and caroline carr came close...
Still one of my favourite songs. Sadly did not see them live, as never heard of the band when they played London. Bumped in to them at Garlic&Shots in London after gig. and started talking, as I'm swedish as well. Was given a tape, played in the bar, and said that is amazing stuff, you should have no problems getting signed. Of course they were already very famous.....
.
She's 16-17 here, looks 25, I'm 17 and I look like an overgrown baby
Edit: I'm now 20, nothing's changed.
Edit #2: 21, slight progress, but slow.
Lotsa miles on her odometer, I reckon.

I’m really excited for when 70’s-90’s Rock comes back around
It's never gonna happen. Keep dreaming.
No
@@kaori_kanzaki 70s-90s rock has never left us.
It can't come back soon enough.
I mean who knows it could come back around-
I mean I've been seeing a lot of people going back to older things lately soooo...
Who knows this type of rock music could come back around
Had this song in my head for years, can’t believe she was only 16 omg
They were so mature for their ages, ahead of their time and created amazing history, along with going through alot. They are my favorite and have so much respect for them.
True groundbreaking pioneers. And they were so young but that talent is undeniable and amazing! What a rocking band they were
let’s pretend riverdale didn’t ruin the shit out of this
It was on riverdale!?!?! Ewwwwwww
Just watched it, i hated it...
Trueblood already did that
many probably don´t even know what that is ?
ikr it’s so gross
at least it is on guardian of galaxy
Jackie... I don't think many of the people in the comments know what you suffered. You have my deepest sympathy.
Bob Dylan was delighted when Johnny Cash came to visit while recording a new record. They sang some songs. .somed some hash. And "Johnny Cash gave me his Guitar." He was only in his 20's. And he was told it's a big honor a country tradition.
Led to Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Lita Ford and Bangles. Rock history.
@@augustbliss No one gives a shit what a Manowar fan thinks about anything.
@Dean Firnatine which runaway was a bangle?
@@jamesian-allen8725 Micki (aka Michaele) Steele. She was the original bass player for the Runaways, before Jackie Fox.
@@augustbliss uhhh.....no. They were a decent-enough pop band if you like that kinda thing. Nothing about them warrants a reaction like that, it's ridiculous
@@augustbliss You're the one text-screaming about a pop group.
Like I said, nothing about The Bangles warrants an explosive overreaction at the mere mention of their name. How do you come back with "don't freak out" when that's basically what I was saying?
I mean if this is your reaction to the Bangles then what happens when you're confronted with genuinely terrible pop music? ICU? How did you even survive the boy band era?
I will never get sick of this song
Me neither
I got sick of it the first time I heard
I was 15 in 1977 and the first Runaways was"waiting for the night" LP.and my mom gave it to me for xmas. CONNY! i am man from sweden
To Joanie: thank you for being a better person then the people who have tried to throw you under the bus. You know who they are, I know who they are. You are better than that, you're better than them, you're better than most, and you're my favorite person in the world! I love you more than anything, sweet Moon child! 🤗♾️❤️
"Rock and roll doesn't have color, rock and roll doesn't have gender. Rock is rock. And if you're good at it, that's enough."

It’s important to me!
I cant I just have to
"I'm gonna die surrounded by the biggest idiot's in the galaxy"
it's been so long since I'v seen some Guardians of the glaxy ;v;
I was a 16 year old girl in 1976, back home in Brooklyn. So homesick for those days!!
I hope one day they put this group into the rock n roll hall of fame because they were true pioneers of female rock power and they deserve their credit!!!!!
They deserve every accolade they get, they were THE BEST FEMALE ROCK BAND EVER!!
and, technically, the first
Ahem.....girlschool.
They really were IT. They let their influences fly for everyone to see. Joan is truly a rock goddess too.
@@maria-zy2pfGoldie and the Gingerbreads beat them by several years. They were active between 1962 to 1967 and were the first all female rock band signed to a major label.
I still can’t believe Sandy threw Sid Vicious into the London River because he kept on trying to get at Joan. Wish they put that into the Runaways Movie. R.I.P. Sandy😢
Doesn't everyone kinda want to throw sid vicious into a river?
Wow where did you get that Information?
The Thames?
Got the info from this link. Cheers!

@JBofBrisbane- yes, River Thames in London. There was a house boat where The Runaways and The Sex Pistols would regularly go to hang out.
TEAM FROM GUARDIANS OF GALAXY!
I might be 63, but the Videos of The Runaways always take me back in time to when it was New. Love the Foxy's Bass guitar playing, Queens of Noise was and still is a Ripper of an album. They don't make them like they used too.
Damn that's old
@@Vindooly-l5v Thanks mate, have a good one and keep rocking eh! 😎
I'm the same age as the ladies in the band, and I live in New Orleans. My friends and I used to drive out into the swamp late at night and listen to them on KAAY-AM out of Little Rock, Arkansas. They inspired me to run away and I DID! Age 16, my own apartment, job, motorcycle, everything. Still going strong all these years later! Joan Jett played an amphitheater on Roanoke Island, and it was so loud, you could hear them all over town!
This, song never gets old. I love this song so much it's in my favorite Netflix movie "FEAR STREET 1978".
Was so inspired by y’all growing up! Realizing I was gay I was so closed off not wanting to let people in to get to know me! This song gave me strength even as a little one
Holy shit how does this exist?! In such great quality!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Same!
agree it's amazing ❣️it

Saw the run aways open for the Ramones Jan 1977 at the Aragon Ball Room in Chicago so dammed cold that night. We came up from east chi Indiana my cousin our dates met my so cool big sister Rita who ran clubs there (Rita Lee Green chi trib obit,s). I was 19 yrs old. The girls rocked, we had fun. Wish I could run back to 1977 right now. Chicago was more gritty but I miss it all. 😊
whos listening to this while being stuck in quarantine?

I'm currently twerking in the mirror
Meeeeee.......🤘
yessss

Literally.
Yeah.... That scene was....... Scarring
Did they?i dont watch it.
Cant they just end riverdale already its like they rolled all the shitty parts of glee and twilight into one show
YES HOLLLYYY JAJDJZJ
何回観ても最高🎉よく物まねしたなぁ～😅チェリーカーリー最高❤
I first saw her when i was a teenager. I had played in a few Rock bands and just began traveling. It was like joining the circus . Not unlike being caged and released on stage to perform.
I saw Cherrie Currie in a magazine and i believe on television. She appeared to be very attractive and high energy . Something about her eyes seemed telling...as if she was a deep person. People often thought she was sexy...but in her eyes she seemed romantic and sometimes sad.
She always came across as interesting and i always wondered what it would be like to have a conversation with her. ..or to be in a band with her...or to have laughs with her. She looked dreamy...
I saw Lita Ford tonight in my small city, she attracted the biggest crowd the city has ever seen. She was freaking BADASS and performed PERFECTLY and was definitely the most badass woman I’ve ever seen perform live. She even waved and smiled to my mom and I. ROCK ON 🤘
I'm 73 and still rocking to the Runaways!
I now immediately remember Cherry Bomb from the Hazbin Hotel...
Me too
Not to be that guy but it’s not “Cherry Bomb” it’s “Cherri Bomb” just saying not tryna be that guy
@@Fallenanger5077 but you are lmao
Me
Me too
I still remember reading CREEM magazine seeing a teenage Joan Jett in a backstage room of a sports arena with Edward Van Halen and some bodyguard in a fancy business suit in the background . Those were the days . I wish I had a GoPro back then .
I love when the cameraman zooms in on the rhythm guitarist during the guitar solo.
The amount of talent in this band was mind-numbing. Even leaving aside anything else, Joan Jett and Lita Ford and Sandy West are enough to blow the doors off anything.
Love your part Jackie. But even back in the day sitting in the basement of a close friend’s house hearing this song/ album for the first time-( back in the 70s ) I was a huge you and Lita fan .!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the comment about lipsyncing. You guys are great. I was "that" kid who bought your record while my friends were buying Stayin Alive and Frampton Comes Alive. I bought it at Montgomery Ward in 76 or 77. I had it until I lost my belonging to a house fire in 2003. I miss that record alot.
Cherry Bomb was one of those tracks that defined a moment in life for many people... thank you for that. it was a magical time.... makes me feel like i did back when Cheap Trick was doing Surrender/I Want You To Want Me
Wow! I'm 55 and this is the first time I've ever heard this song or any song by this group before. This is great, this is raw, this is punk. Girl power! I love it.
Welcome to the first ever all woman rock band....
zzzzzzzz
Where have you been in a cave
@@jameslangley6779 This genre wasn’t found on any media platform when it was released. I’m also 55 grew up on classic rock,top 40, 80’s college radio and Hair metal. Only heard of the Runaways through Joan Jett so no need to be a douche. Signed Generation X.
@@sindymace5228 They weren't the first, but pretty close

Bought this (record) album when it came out and still own it.
Lyrics:
Can't stay at home, can't stay at school.
Old folks say 'You poor little fool'.
Down the streets I'm the girl next door.
I'm the fox you've been waiting for.
Hello, daddy. Hello, mom.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world! I'm your wild girl.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Stone age love and strange sounds too.
Come on, baby, let me get to you.
Bad nights causing teenage blues.
Get down ladies, you've got nothin' to lose.
Hello, daddy. Hello, mom.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world! I'm your wild girl.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello, daddy. Hello, mom.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world! I'm your wild girl.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hey, street boy, want some style?
Your dead end dreams don't make you smile.
I'll give you something to live for.
Have you and grab you until you're sore.
Hello, daddy. Hello, mom.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world! I'm your wild girl.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Cherry bomb!
Cherry bomb!
Cherry bomb!
Cherry bomb!

This song is old school rock The Runaways were a great band everyone was extremely talented!
So talented that these hits were written for them by middle-aged, old-school guys, and on this recording they perform from a playback.
