On The Run (also known as Auf der Flucht) is a 1982 double a-side single by the Austrian musician Falco that was basically released as promotional single in France, Canada and the USA (or as follow up to "Der Kommissar" which became there very famous). It was produced 1981 in Berlin, Germany by Robert Ponger. On the other side of the single, there is another song called Maschine brennt, the double a-side single "On the run/Maschine brennt" peaked #9 in the US hot play.
In european countries (except France) the single wasn't released as double a-side which meant the next single after "Der Kommissar" became "Maschine brennt" instead (that didn't include "Auf der Flucht") in case of Falco's home country Austria. In Austria and Norway the song peaked #4 in the official charts. In Finland it reached #7, in Germany #10, in Spain #34 and in the Netherlands #49.
