So nice to see/hear a young group who both love the song and deliver it so well, I speak as an 50+British man who both remember the song and want to see The Sweet!!
The original is my ringtone. It works well; never miss a call. Saw Sweet back when I was in high school, around 1975 or 76. Always loved this song. These girls do a great job for a live version. It's a good introduction to their band. The drummer and lead guitarist are awesome. The front girl also has the voice of a real rock star.
I was just 14 years old when the original song was a hit, and to me this one is a damn good version! It has a real '70's sound but with a modern twist to it - love it!
Wild! I just heard them on the radio on the drive home from work and remembered them immediately from this cover and came searching! Great band. Nice to see them getting exposure!
Surprised by all the negative comments. I wonder if those people had ever heard the original. Anyway, this is a charming cover and holds its own compared to the original.
This is fun, but not surprised by the negative comments. Some people will hate on anything that isn't the original. Some will hate because it is being done by a band with some female members. Some will hate because they seek to attack Lydia for some comments she made about her interactions with someone. Some will hate the style of music in general, and some will genuinely dislike this performance because they dislike it. Some will hate it because they happened to hear it when they were in the midst of a bad day. Everyone has their own opinion, but to anyone attacking this, there is much much much much much much worse stuff out there, some of which is a lot more popular, this is competent and inoffensive, and if it wasn't perfect, I mean, the singer was like 16 at the time, there is plenty of time for improvement....but hey, if it makes people feel better about themselves to hate on this, let them
You guys kick a$$!! I love this song and you guys represent well! I love to see the younger generation take older songs and take on their version. Great job!!
Agree. I generally hate Sweet covers. Pat Benatar’s “No You Don’t” was decent but I pretty much can’t stand any others I’ve heard. This is the first Sweet cover I’ve heard where the band turned it into one of their songs, made it their own. It’s makes a great garage pop/post punk tune
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD in the world? or music wise? I think they released a song with lauren hibbard a while ago, but that's the most recent thing they've done
I just love to listen to to this at x1.25 speed... damn i wanna play this song in that tempo.. i have to do that someday.. edit: and now i noticed you can playit at whatever speed you like and 1.15 is even better... You Rock!
The people at AV Club, where this was originally posted, came up with that title. From listening to it, it sounds like those amps are up really loud, you can kind of feel the energy in that room. If the person who came up with that caption was in that room for the performance, I can get where he or she was coming from. Plus they had 24 bands doing covers in 24 days. That’s a lot of headlines. Might have just been throwing shit against the wall at some point lol
Love Fox on the Run. Like the hard rock version. I agree with Gus Jackson; Wail it! Maybe add a couple of more voices to the chorus. Great Job and super awesome to see some girls singing it their way!
thanks for uploading this! did you by any chance happen to also save the charly bliss cover? i’m kicking myself for not downloading it sooner but i really didn’t think they’d delete these videos too :( [edit: a nice person on reddit shared the cover with me, i uploaded it here : ruclips.net/video/BazWDCi_OUs/видео.html hopefully all of them resurface eventually!]
I actually think it does kick ass in a raw Indy rock way. It’s not as polished and pop sounding as the original. I also noticed that it sounds like it’s really loud in that room, amps on eleven. I’m a HUGE Sweet fan. This is the first cover I’ve ever liked of one of their songs.
I like what the Regrettes do, but this is in no way better than Sweet. To me, it desperately needs that great synthesizer riff. But, to each their own as I always say. To their credit, this band has done pretty damn well, in a very competitive music market
So nice to see/hear a young group who both love the song and deliver it so well, I speak as an 50+British man who both remember the song and want to see The Sweet!!
Managed to sound like themselves while retaining the spirit of the original. Amazing cover. Underrated drummer. 👍🏾

I was 15 when the original came out, I liked this cover, it was a pop song then and it is a pop song now
This was my first exposure to the Regrettes and I thought back then they had something. Today I heard them on the radio for the first time. Awesome.
Wild! I just heard them on the radio on the drive home from work and remembered them immediately from this cover and came searching! Great band. Nice to see them getting exposure!
Go see them live if you can!
please don't ever let this video die, keep archiving it and re uploading it pls

Well, I think this is so much fun.
Nothing wrong with this version. Everyone started somewhere. Where are they now?
That little laugh after Lidia says thank you, makes me smile every time.
This is the cover I was looking for. I love how they made it their own
I heard this song yesterday. It was my first time hearing the band and the song. It's my new personal anthem. Thanks The Regrettes.
Great cover version of this song, The Regrettes Rock. I can't get enough of their version.
Fuck Yeah!
Most AV Club vids are M.I.A. - I've been looking for Gogol Bordello's cover of TORN forever! Ep. 307 recorded Oct. 1, 2017
PLEASE HELP ME !!!
You guys kick a$$!! I love this song and you guys represent well! I love to see the younger generation take older songs and take on their version. Great job!!
Thank you! this video disappeared from AV Club
3 part harmony will always win me over.
This is a live take and it's good. Missed nothing and achieved what they set out to do. Should not be compared to the original studio recording.
I grew up with the original, I really liked this pretty awesome
This might just the best cover ever. That said from an oldtimer to whom made out with his first girl to the original song.
Agree. I generally hate Sweet covers. Pat Benatar’s “No You Don’t” was decent but I pretty much can’t stand any others I’ve heard.
This is the first Sweet cover I’ve heard where the band turned it into one of their songs, made it their own. It’s makes a great garage pop/post punk tune
Love it ! The drummer really rocks too !
The whole band rocks!
I think they did a wonderful job.
I am now a Regrettes fan. Awesome.
Unfortunately they don't sound like this anymore.☹☹☹☹☹
Great little cover, true to the original. Thanks for uploading.
wouldn't it be cool if the regrettes made an album full of covers? Hey Mickey,Fox On tne Run, Don't stop me now...
It’d be cool if they did anything. Where are they??
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD in the world? or music wise? I think they released a song with lauren hibbard a while ago, but that's the most recent thing they've done
@@jasperjones4335 Just seems like they’ve been really quiet.
I think they'd nail an Oingo Boingo cover. Something like On the Outside.
and Little Willy
Drums are so good. It's like he's drumming through the drums. Haven't heard such heavy drumming since Dave Friggin' Grohl!
Real cool to hear the next generation keeping some of the greats alive. Good on ya ladies, keep rocking!
they look like a fictional band from a show
I didn’t know Margot Tenenbaum had such a great band.
Y'all are really good! Amazing job! I grew up listening to Sweet in the 70's. Your killing it!
Jill Gross
Isn't she as cute as a button😊
Tasha Yar on bass
hahaha....only us old folks get that one....
man, AV Undercover needs to start up again
this is so good!!
I just love to listen to to this at x1.25 speed... damn i wanna play this song in that tempo.. i have to do that someday..
edit: and now i noticed you can playit at whatever speed you like and 1.15 is even better... You Rock!
She rocks!
Amazing job... Cheers mates !!
I don't know why people hate this, but I personally think it's good.
Agree. They got nothing wrong and sounded great for a live take.
Please make this available on iTunes. Massive upgrade from the 70s. I was there it wasn’t that great….
Amazing cover!
Amazingly bad.
@@GGSalt you certainly live to your name
Excellent, was one of my fave songs when it came out, & am a musician, we r thinking to cover Love is like Oxygen! Great job, cool guitar tones…
Oh yeah !!!! Starts off mello, then look out !!! Excellent !!!!!
Nice sounds great
The band's composition is such a metaphor. 🤣
Killed it! Bravo!!!!!!
Very well done 👏 ✔ 👍
Ok, you don't understand what"ferocious" means but, thanks for introducing me to The Regrettes!
Yes, I like the band, like their version of the song, but ferocious?....Um. Yes. Ferocious like Tony the Tiger.

Great cover. Entertaining and with a harder punk sound.
Not a great cover. Just adequate
Goddamn that rock n roll
soo good
Love Fox on the Run. Like the hard rock version. I agree with Gus Jackson; Wail it! Maybe add a couple of more voices to the chorus. Great Job and super awesome to see some girls singing it their way!
Girl you killed this song.
Killed is good
Wuonderfull and pure fun!
Very cool guys, Nice rendition of a great 74 song
I dig the guitar solo - just off color enough to fit their flavour
also I want that bass.
thanks for uploading this! did you by any chance happen to also save the charly bliss cover? i’m kicking myself for not downloading it sooner but i really didn’t think they’d delete these videos too :( [edit: a nice person on reddit shared the cover with me, i uploaded it here : ruclips.net/video/BazWDCi_OUs/видео.html hopefully all of them resurface eventually!]
I did not, sorry!
@@maidengems304 what about the big moons total eclipse of hearth?
The biggest telecaster I've seen. :)
💓 Anna,Christine,Tinja&Markku
Awesome job!
Watching their old video and i get sad now 😢
EXCELLENT cover......👍👍👍👍👍
Good go Girls ❤❤❤
Ferocious? No. I don’t know how that term would apply here. But they really did a great job with the song. I loved it.
Bravo !!!!!!!!!!
Go touring, unless you already do.
Already do, and currently are
Damn people in the comments either dipise this cover or love it.
To me, its alright.
Best thing since sliced bread this
@@lukesedgwick3016 The cover is fantastic for one reason: They're playing this song live... something Sweet could never do.
Hells yeah, wickid sweet cover.
chEErs
NICE COVER!!!
Very cool 😎
omg no they didn’t. Have they got other covers???
💗💗💗💗
What happened to the original upload?
I don't know, but it was on my "play list" videos.
Super live Musik
Non, je ne regrette rien.
nice
Old dude gatekeepers hate women hahaha
Yeah the Boomers are showing up with their myopia
Not all of us feel that way. I'm getting older all the time and I thought it was a great cover.
I think it's more like people disagree with the title describing it as "ferocious."
I actually think it does kick ass in a raw Indy rock way. It’s not as polished and pop sounding as the original. I also noticed that it sounds like it’s really loud in that room, amps on eleven.
I’m a HUGE Sweet fan. This is the first cover I’ve ever liked of one of their songs.
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD I wasn't saying it's a bad cover, but I think many wouldn't describe it the way the title does.
I love a telecaster but two I’m the one band ain’t right. Swap in another and you’ll get a fuller sound
Think that's just the sound they wanted for this. In the Hey Now video Lydia is playing a Kay and Genessa is rocking a Jazzmaster.
Like!
Better than the original. Brilliant. And if the singer isn't called Emily there's something wrong with the world.
Nope
Lydia lol
I'm worried about you David.
I like what the Regrettes do, but this is in no way better than Sweet. To me, it desperately needs that great synthesizer riff. But, to each their own as I always say. To their credit, this band has done pretty damn well, in a very competitive music market
Great fuckin' version, dislikers are gay
Here’s my non-ferocious take on this song:
ruclips.net/video/r-pgEvha7IA/видео.html
これって、女の子が歌うと変だよね。バンドの男子がグルーピーの女子を茶化す歌ですから。
歌詞を日本語訳して見ると、彼女に「お前は自分が可愛いと思っているんだろう」とか「お前の話は二番煎じ」だとか、罵倒してますから。
Love it. I like your guys look too. Throw in a some hard drugs and hard booze and get to rockin babe.
Wtf that was brutal 😬
Sage and Max are definitely missed. This band could've been something special. Now they sound like every other overproduced pop dribble.
Overpriced pop dribble? The fact that you even say that makes me believe that you have no idea what pop even is.
Oh my. Ummm. Yeah
Yea the sweet
It’s great. Just needs a bit more adventurous singing. Wail it sister!
Ferocious: savagely fierce, cruel, or violent.
"a ferocious beast". 🙄
adjectival click- bait ought to be a crime...
Love the toe-tapping hooks !
Hate the obnoxious misogynistic lyrics !
Love The Regrettes !
Better than the original !
@brendanwhelton What's wrong with u?
Better than the original? You need to get the wax out of your ears!
Brenda sounds like a Karen 😂.
Remember when you switch from all girl hand to an old woman band it's sophistication not sex appeal.
Ferocious? Nah. I mean if someone was having a kegger in the 80's, I guess it would be great.
I regret clicking on this.
Is this karaoke night? Sweet!
I regret seeing your comment
That cover feels like a wet sandwich. Sorry.
"Ferocious" - not really - too lightweight, by far. Sorry girls, & boy. Keep plugging at it ...
Hardly "FEROCIOUS "...
Good on em anyway .
Makes you want to cry listening, what a shambles!
Ferocious? That word doesn't mean what you think it means.
no
My #1 regret song . (Regret hearing)
You don't know great music
They lack the energy of the original
Can you say I’m high
Ferocious? Hmmm....
