  Escape (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Escape" (later known as "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)") was the highest-charting hit for Rupert Holmes, and is one of the most easily-recognized songs of the past few decades.
To this day, Holmes regards the song with a mixture of pride and chagrin; while it has made him wealthy and famous, as one of his friends described it, it is "the success that ruined his career", drawing attention from his more serious and heartfelt musical works.
After its release as a single, the song became immediately popular, though sales were slow due to the song's actual title, "Escape" going unnoticed in the place of the oft-repeated cocktail.

 Enrique Iglesias : Escape - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Escape is a pop/rock album through and through, and it is also reminiscent of classic pop albums of the 1980s -- short (ten original songs), sweet, and wildly catchy.
Though Iglesias' songs always turn up as remixes and at dance clubs, and though he could just as easily thicken the sound effects to overtake the basic melodies, he remains reserved in sound and lyric.
While Escape is not excessively stylized, it is meticulously styled in the way great albums are, where surprises are hidden in every corner.

 PMN - Struggle and Song
But the tide of movement music songs sung to, and (crucially) by, groups of people to inform the ignorant, incite action, lift spirits and build solidarity among toilers for change has ebbed as well as flooded along with the swell and shrinkage of movements for change.
The next movement with songs at its center was the effort to build one big union and usher in an era of workers' self-government, led by the Industrial Workers of the World in the first decades of the 20th century.
Songs had played a role in other movements at the end of the 19th century, notably in the mine workers' struggles in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia; in the nationwide fight for the eight-hour day; and in the Populists attempt to link farmers and workers in an alliance for justice.

 Escape Club - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
THE ESCAPE CLUB, originating in the UK, ironically made a name for themselves with the release of the song "Wild, Wild West" (from the album of the same name) which flew to number 1 in the US before anyone in the band had ever set foot on American soil.
The success of the band’s "Wild, Wild West" single was nothing in comparison to the public reaction to the release of the song "I'll Be There," from their second album Dollars and Sex, which was written in memoriam of a friend of the band’s wife.
THE ESCAPE CLUB never officially broke up, but by 1992 they had drifted apart so much that it was mutually agreed that they were no longer a band.

Escape, Iglesias's first disc since his 1999 Top 40 breakthrough, is already a guaranteed success thanks to its first single, "Hero," which gained attention when he performed it on the September 2001 Tribute to Heroes.
The first track "Escape" makes you feel like dancing, the lyrics are good and the rhythm is even better, the same happens with songs like: "I love to see you cry", "Don't turn off the lights" and love songs that are also included on this production, such as the Top 3 "Hero", are very good.

 Escape of Old John Webb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In the KT song "The Escape of Old John Webb," I've always wondered why the prisoner is identified as "Bill Tenor" in the first verse and as John Webb (or "Johnny") everywhere else.
According to Alan Lomax's "Folk Songs of North America," the song (which is titled "Billy Broke Locks" in his volume) dates back to about 1737.
When his friends broke into jail and rescued Webb, someone celebrated the event by re-making 'Archie o' Cawfield' to tell the story of the escape of the man who had stood up for 'Old Tenor,' and so is identified with 'Old Tenor' in the chorus".

By the time they added second guitarist John Fulton and made 'Under The Running Board,' those influences-as well as a balance of technique and brute force no other hardcore band had ever attempted-were focused to a knifepoint.
Minakakis left amicably in 2001, at the height of DILLINGER's ascent; auditions in 2002 led the remaining members to then-untested current vocalist Greg Puciato; a 2002 EP, 'Irony Is A Dead Scene,' with FAITH NO MORE and MR.
