• Bridget from CoI love this song so much! I actually considered using it for a flash mob until I googled the meaning of the lyrics... and found out that the girl got involved in something inappropriate! I'm going to do it for school, so yeah that's out
• Ed from New JerseyA generation later, disaffected tween and teen girls still adopt this as their anthem without really knowing what it’s about.
• Josh from Tumwater Washington It’s about a girl who hates her parent
• Frank from Haverstraw, NyUm, this song was totally stolen. Bon Jovi is a spoiled hack at the best.
• Brian from Clearlake, CaGeorge in Benicia: my grandma was the manager of Tia Teresa at the time and a lot of my family worked at the restaurant. I've been told by my mom that my grandma was asked to stay late and feed JBJ and crew and they all ended up partying there and the bar that night, or something to that effect.
• Deethewriter from Saint Petersburg, Russia FederationBon Jovi visited the local radio station WAPP 103.5FM "The Apple" in Lake Success, New York. He spoke directly to the promotion director John Lassman, who accepted the song "Runaway" for inclusion on the station's compilation album of local homegrown talent. Bon Jovi was initially reluctant but eventually gave them the song on which Bon Jovi had used studio musicians to play on the track "Runaway". The studio musicians who helped record "Runaway" – known as The All Star Review – were guitarist Tim Pierce, keyboardist Roy Bittan, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and bassist Hugh McDonald. The song began to get airplay in the New York area, then other sister stations in major markets picked up the song. In March 1983 Bon Jovi called David Bryan, who in turn called bassist Alec John Such (b. Alec John Such, November 14, 1952, Yonkers, New York, USA) ex-Phantom's Opera and an experienced drummer named Tico Torres.
• George from Benicia, CaBon Jovi did not film "Runaway" in Benicia. In fact, the video they filmed in Benicia, California is, "She Don't Know Me." It was filmed at a popular bar in town known as "The Brewery, which shared an address with the restaurant, "Tia Teresa." Many did not know who the band Bon Jovi was at the time, but the people in town who did know of them, were all down there -- me being one of them and I was fortunate enough to mean Jon and have a drink with him. If you watch the video, there is not an audience filled with people who were added as extras - that info is false. Besides the band and the main girl in the video, there are only a couple other guys in the video. I wouldn't say Benicians love Bon Jovi because of the video, but I would say that Benicians love Bon Jovi because they love their music. Now to correct the info about "Runaway." It was filmed in New York City at a Union Square-area restaurant and at Silvercup Studios in Queens. Hope this clears up any confusion about these two videos.
• Steve from Sioux Falls, SdHow is it possible that you bump Aldo Nova for Dave Sabo? You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves....
• Nishit from MumbaiOne of his most underrated songs IMO
• Con Queso from Las Vegas, NvBon Jovi made the video in a small California town called Benicia. The video was filmed in a bar that no longer exists. The audience was filled with people from town who were added as extras. There is a guy named Michael Jordan in the crowd. Benicia loves Bon Jovi because of the video.
