Fox on the Box is the eighth studio album by Village People, released in 1982. It is notable for being the group's only album not released in the US, the UK, or France, instead seeing releases primarily in Australia, South America, Germany, Scandinavia, Spain, and Japan.
The album marked the return of original lead singer Victor Willis, who co-wrote the songs and sang lead on most tracks. Ray Simpson, who had replaced Willis previously, appeared on two tracks: "Everybody Loves the Funk" and "Radio Freak." Additionally, Alex Briley, known for his role as the G.I., sang lead on the ballad "Lonely Lady."
The album featured an edgy funk-oriented feel, including an early hip hop track "Play Bach." It sold poorly and failed to chart anywhere. Despite its commercial challenges, the album was released on CD in 1997 as "In the Street," including a bonus track "America," a 1983 single featuring Miles Jaye, who replaced Ray Simpson.
