A Flock of Seagulls’ Mike Score on Creating MTV’s Most Viral Video in a Day

Sometimes it’s all about timing. Well today’s iconic guest Mike Score the singer and writer behind A Flock Of Seagulls and their new wave classic hits I Ran (So Far Away) and Space Age Love Song and (Wish I Had) A Photograph of You tells us how he and his band created the most viral music video in MTV history in about 2 hours. They threw together the iconic video for I Ran in one day and by the next day it was on MTV back when turnaround time was much longer. Also, A Flock Of Seagulls is always tagged as a 1 hit wonder but they weren’t. They had four hits including 3 that are wholly recognizable and played all the time. From 1982 to 1984 they were arguably the face of 80s music due to the lead singer’s iconic look but by the mid 80s they disappeared. Today we talk to their iconic singer Mike Score and find out what happened next on Professor of Rock.
