"Sweet Freedom" isn't even McDonald's best single, especially if you count his Doobies stuff. Those are some nice syndrums, though.

I remember buying the cassingle for this and being really happy every time the video was on mtv.

It's cool how the video takes the characters from Running Scared and extends their universe into another realm. More movie soundtrack videos should do that. Like the video for "You could be mine."

When I was a kid I thought the name of the movie was Unmarked Police Car, which I found hilarous

'Sweet Freedom' is great, there's a couple of modern remixes about that haven't bettered the original but I always perk up when I see someone's had a go.. s'got a lot of great elements.

I think I have to put a vote in for "Ya Mo Be There".

also can't believe it took me about six months to hear this after it came out, there should be some sort of Mcdonald/Indie crossover mailing list for me to subscribe to

Re-run lead to the rise of the RIAA

Rerun is definitely a company stooge. Dee was the best thing on that show, iirc

This is a great song.... (and much better than "Sweet Freedom" IMO)
