Who's listening to this Gem in 2024? I Am..😎
Amazing I found someone that n 2024 who listens to this
@@Heisenberg573 lol 😎
No coincidences
Yo ahora mismo
Somehow here.
It's the Summer of 1979 again!!!
Right on ,Right on
boogie nights
Great, i'm stuck in line waiting for gas. 😖
🐲💯💥🎆👍🤑🐉😁
This song throws me back to my youth😀 I was 16y. Now I am 62y.
Time flies. And this song lasts forever!!! Great song👍🏻👍🏻
Same here🙂
Same as me 3 trackz to our child hood
We enjoyed a pleasant youth with a lot of good musics ! Unfortunately as said George Harrison, "All things must pass..."
I used to listen to this song late at night on an AM radio station when I was a little girl. Listening to it after so many years is like finding a long lost friend.
Coast to Coast?
Sounds so much better in stereo though.
@@MisterMikeTexas àaaaàà
@@grindcoreninja6527 When Art died, for many of us, it was like losing an old friend. RIP Art Bell.
Takes me back to when i was young and alone, with this playing many a time keeping me company...
My wife died recently. This song lately makes me think of her. Gawd, it hurts so bad..
+TheBigjohn527 so sorry bro, i pray you know comfort
+TheBigjohn527 So sorry! Very sad.
So sorry man
My wife died nearly two years ago. This was one of our favorite songs. I will never forget dancing to this song at the end of a party at Boston University, when we were the only ones left on the dance floor. It is one of the memories that I cherish, that take me back to better days. At first, it hurt so bad to hear special songs like this one, But now they somehow comfort me, when I realize how thankful I am that we shared 36 wonderful years together.
Life will never be the same, and I don't think the hurt and pain will ever go away. But life does go on. I hope you find comfort, and learn to rediscover and cherish the music that you shared.
bless your heart
Listening to this song makes me want to get in my car and just drive...anywhere :)
+Anthony Perez (A. Perez Voyages) Do it man :) It's boss :)
+Anthony Perez (A. Perez Voyages) Song has nothing to do with driving a car.It say little jivin on a Saturday night.
Dude , there are a lot of songs that don't have to do with driving but it sound good on a road trip.
dennis black
It's the type of song that makes you want to go have a nice drive somewhere. Which most folk will agree on. I know what the lyrics are. That's the feel that you get from the toon maan ;) Cheers.
Perfect highway jam
This song captures the mood of what it felt like to be in your late teens early 20s in the late 70s.
Driving down a highway, wind in you hair, music blaring........those were the days, weren't they ?
@@annwilson6606 Absolutely!
1980.. I was 16 in my 1st car. This song was a blast! Freedom!
I wish i grew up in the 70s or 80s. i was born in the early 90s, Family always listened to old rock from the 70s and 80s, ect. The 70s always seemed so happy, i always think of stuff i should of done in high school, awh to go back lol. I never heard this song before until it popped up in my playlist lol fell in love 1 second in.
@@Paparoach493 The vibe was
" Hey, it's cool. Whatever you're into, go for it."
i don’t think that i found this song, i think this song found me
Sometimes happens, you find a song that you suddenly understand because it’s about where you are, hope it helps.
Well n' beautifuly said...
In my opinion you've got taste too!😉
Kisses from France and take care 😘
same :))
Lol
This song found me twice
Captures the spirit of the late 1970s.
I can dig that sentiment dude.
And the early 80's too.
Song is from 1979.
as a avid listener to coast to coast am this was one of Art Bell's favorite songs I remember listening to him play it I really loved from their on
@@jamesbarnes4227 art bell was the man, "from the kingdom of nye" Great show I remember Abba and that song some velvet morning also.
This has to be one of the coolest songs of all time!!!
Yep, along with Boys of Summer by Don Henley and Ventura Highway by America.
That was the intention, I suspect.
Lunatic fringe by red rider is really cool too
No, but it's definitely a top 10
Red Barchetta by Rush
This song is a Masterpiece
Why ?
,... 'cos it' s SOOOOOOOOOOOO driving, buddy 😊! BERNIE GERMANY ❤
Just graduated from university, summer 79, I was leaving England to come to America, and this song just felt awesome
As a 22 year old I can say it gives me such Nostalgia to an Era my Eyes have Never Seen.
Miguel R be my friend!
Doesnt even make sense
@@AllCal530 It does, I thought I was the only one having this feeling
same but im 21

This band could only be a one hit wonder because this song has more innovation than most albums or catalogs.
More than my pet fish - Eric!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I concur.
The entire album is great too!!
song is so singular. while at the same time you could pick out each parts influence that came before
Personal Trivia you likely don't care about: I saw this band in June 1979 in West Berlin at a concert called British Rock Meeting, headlined by a band called Barkley James Harvest also featuring Dire Straits and several other bands. I was an exchange student with a group of American and German kids. After they played this song we all said, "That was really a GREAT song!" I still think that 43 years later.
Never thought i would hear this on the radio again until i was driving through South Dakota in the middle of nowhere and this came on 😂
I hear it all the time on viewer sponsored radio.
"Untroubled by strife,
she had another way of looking at life..."
Untroubled by strife,
she had another way
of looking at life
A very underrated song. This is a great song. The lyrics, the arrangement, and the lead vocal are all in sync with each other. Love this song.
44 years and counting. 2024!!!
The drums, the melody, the rock.
Yea they all ROCK together
the guitar .
One of the most underrated gems of 70's music.😎👍
Far ahead of the genre they sprang from, this song is an utter gem. This track manages to combine classic rock (post the disco explosion) with the increasingly popular sound of post-punk and early synth-driven bands... Magazine, The Fixx, Fischer-Z, a drop of Tom Petty, Al Stewart... it's all there, wrapped in a great arrangement.
@Evan Hodge Lol, that is funny 😁Seriously though mate, I hope you can appreciate the little joys in life, such as a well-arranged, somewhat evocative song... which is more than the crap that passes for music we're bombarded with now... and no, I'm not 'in marketing'... just a gigging musician who can still recognise a decent song.
I love it when it comes on in " Boogie Nights "
huge dylan / hendrix influence too
And I was thinking prog too with that Moog solo at the end. Sounds like Camel
It's just a song. You are overthinking it.
The perfect cross of the bluesy power of Dire Straits and the hooky new wave of the Cars, both of whom were huge in 1979.
Ok I'll cop that...
Yeah, you are right about that.
True , my friend
Yeah Paul and Mark even shared a receding hairline and an educated wit .
Try comparing them to this instead of this to them!!!!!!
Only thing bad about this song is that it ended.
true words
there is a 12" version that is almost 6 mins ;)
Fabulous Extended Play record. I had a German version - with the misprinted title "Driver's Sears".
I want my 400 LPs back, Phillip Hansen!
We were listening to this song in the late 70’s.
Very awesome guitar riff and solo. One of the best rock songs of the 70s.
HandyAndy Tech Tips it's from the 90's...
Pieterjan Tilleman It was actually released in 1979, but it became quite popular in the Netherlands in 1991 after it was used in a Pioneer ad.
ok my bad
+HandyAndy Tech Tips Definitely.. He's an excellent guitarrist on the whole lp. That solo on Driver's Seat was quite unconventional and I always loved the way the guitar and keyboard trade off so smoothly.
HandyAndy Tech Tips yes definitely.bad ass song love it.
Band album covers in the 70s and 80s were so awesome...like exquisite works of art.
Many years later I’m still loving this song.
1979 I'm 17, driving my 69 Camaro with a Blaupunkt stereo BLASTING this song through 4 open windows, turning heads in every direction.
It was GREAT to be a kid back then, going through girlfriends like most guys go through socks.😂
What ya been doing since then?
@@ozzyistheking21 same thing 😅
Pathetic that at your age, you still think using women like socks is cool.
@@Paparoach493 Was 18 had a '70 Nova with a 427 Yenko. Burnin' up the roads.
Loved this song in 1979 when i was 10
The very definition of a musical groove.
so true even 8 years later :D
This song is ridiculously due for a revival.
Music like this will never be forgotten it’s just too good. 👍
Such an unusual, unique song that stopped me in my tracks when it first came out. Good positive lyrics and fab lead guitar solo at the end to top it off. GREAT song that never ages.
It makes me want to be alive
Love the drumming too. Doesn't speed up, doesn't slow down. Steady.
Agree with your comment 100%.
well put
it was a world of no cell phones and internet just us and our tube radios
Since 3 Years I listen to this I’ve Finally Found Hope and Taste of Rock N Roll
Young people now have no idea what it was like growing up in the 60's and 70's with all of our freedoms.
I can only dream of it. I feel like I was born in the wrong time sometimes
I don't remember any freedoms other than it was easier to be racist or a bigot.
Amen to that brother!
@@scottlarson1548 It’s more that it felt free relatively. The 60s and 70s had freedoms that weren’t even conceivable in the 30s, 40s and 50s, especially with the Great Depression, then World War 2.
Freedoms today are probably going backwards. The 90s and 2000s were probably more free than the 2010s or 2020s so far, especially with more controlling governments, the power of the internet, media, cultural controls etc.
@@XxxULTIMATEZxxX So you think the Internet made people *less* free? And that the media didn't exist previously?
"Driver's Seat"
Doing all right
A little driving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away
Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life
The news is blue (the news is blue)
It has its own way to get to you (ooh)
What can I do? (What can I do?)
I'll never remember my time with you
Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the driver's seat
Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
We're doing all right (ooh)
A little driving on a Saturday night (yeah)
And come what may (ooh)
Gonna dance the day away (yeah)
Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
Jenny was sweet (ooh)
There is no elite (yeah)
Pick up your feet (ooh)
Pick up, pick up (yeah)
Pick up your feet (ooh)
Gonna dance the day away (yeah)
Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
Yeah
Driver's seat
It’s ‘a little Jiving’. Clever choice of words. Driving/jiving. I thought it was driving too.
@@diegopalazzo1761 Man that's a shocker. Makes sense though, we need to Jive while we drive. Thanks for that, blessings.
Dude it’s a great song. I can’t stop playing it. It’s simple on the guitar, Am G F all the way through. Legend
@@diegopalazzo1761 That's cool that you know how to play. Soon there will be "15 million fingers learning how to play". Hopefully mine will be 10 of them.
On the cd we had at home it always jumped when he said trouble and strife. So now whenever I hear it I hear tttrrrouble and strife still all these years later
I'm nostalgic for a place that hasn't existed in decades
Still enjoying in 2020! And we keep going on!
I was given this song for my day message. Born 5th July 1960. Soon to become 60.... I have to tell all, I have never felt better. Strong body, sharp mind and Blessed by The Almighty.
Now to get in the Driver's seat and finish this game.
I am in this for only one thing and one thing only...
I LOVE HUMANITY......
💚💚💚
Rock on buddy
another good driving song
Tengo 64 años y cuando limpiaba el coche de mi padre,escuché en la radio este tema y hasta que pude saber el nombre del grupo,lo encontré en casette ,y aún sigo escuchándolos,me encantan,saludos a todos sus seguidores desde Málaga,
Genial tu experiencia 👍
Good music always endures.
is this the greatest ever driving song.?
+wagbelt HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRIVING A CAR. LOOK IT UP.
+wagbelt Best driving song for me is Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp
Best for driving round town (on a Saturday night), best driving song for letting rip on the open highway in a V8 is Saxon "Wheels of Steel".
Yes, but the longer version of this song is better. The only thing the longer version doesn't have is all of the "cool bleep sounds", otherwise it's a better version of the song.
Yes it could be the best driving song. I like golden ear ring. Last car 2 pass
it’s so hip to feel free w/o a care in a world so crazy , let’s gooooo
Yes.....including when going on 60....etc 🤘🤟
Hadn't heard this song in years until that recent Amazon commercial, my ears instantly perked up when I heard these familiar riffs. What a great jam.
me too
This song reminds me when I was onnocent thinking only about better days coming
Just heard it right now too!
That is precisely why I am here too!
same with me, saw the commercial got the guitar, had to go to youtube and listen, great song :)
One of the great tracks when I was 12 years old. Soon I will be 54,and I still love this track 👍
Thanks for the music Art Bell.
Hypnotic and dazzling and intense, a one hit wonder of one hit wonder songs.
The backing vocals are just brilliant!
Absolutely PERFECTION..!
You mean like how they keep saying "yeah." as though someone asked them a question and they are replying in the affirmative?
Best song ever!!! This is what real music sounds like!
YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC
As a teenager in the 70's from my perspective it was the best time to be alive, the music, the fashion, the dance moves....it brought all of us together in a way no other era has, anytime I break out my yearbooks I can't help but feel an overwhelming desire to return there. If they built a time machine I would return there for a month and tell my 70's self have the nerve to kiss Sandra Redman and tell her how you feel. I would go and talk to my family and tell my brothers and sister to love, respect and support each other. I would go to some concerts in California and fly to England to see my ex-girlfriend Alison before her second marriage and make love to her.
you did not have to go to CA for awsome concerts, but CA women are like no other
ERROR, BUDDY ~ ASIAN GIRLS ARE TOP NOTCH ❤🎉😊!!! BERNIE GERMANY BOLLYWOOD LOVER ❤😊🎉
I graduated high school in '79 and just rediscovered this gem in June 2024!
This really takes me back. I had just turned 18 and in '79 that was the legal drinking age. Hitting all the local clubs, proud to show my ID at the door. I was just at the threshold of adulthood and had my whole life ahead of me! Seems like it was yesterday. Love this song and the cool memories it brings back!
"There must be some way out of here, said the Joker to the Thief..."
Lol😂😂😂Jimi Hendrix
Vandal King I know you’re saying this just to be inflammatory. It’s not gonna work.
@@Engelfinger I actually think this song isn't a Jimi Hendrix ripoff. Just had to write that down.
Brother Dylan!
@@nedtheproducer5777 😂😂😂
I was so glad when Boogie Nights reintroduced this classic to a new generation
August 1979. The last month of a great summer of music!!!
This song made it to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early fall of 1979.
Oh wow! A flood of memories. Junior high dances. On the car radio on family outings. Blasting my first car’s stereo. Oh, man!
If I had to pick a song from my high school years that made me go into a flashback, this would be it . . . great tune.
My Sharona or Good Girls Don't (But I Do)?
I just realized that the repetitiveness of the drum beat resembles the visuals of driving on the highway with the stripes on the street and the sideposts constantly going by in their own rhythm, never changing until the journey is complete. good stuff!
The 70s, I would never go back there. And I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
As a musician, this is one of my favorite songs to play. I love the guitar parts in it. Not to mention those great keyboard/synth parts.
I recently heard this song playing in the background of a movie. I was a kid in the 70's. I think it was on an
8 track. Can't be sure. Still a HOT SONG
@@mzhyde2887 This song is forty-five years old now, and it hasn't lost anything in all those years. I was a young musician back then learning to play guitar and bass after becoming accomplished on the cello and trombone. Songs like this are simple, yet multi-layered, and really fun to learn.
It is still a HOT SONG for sure!!!
Why do I feel like I've heard this song a million times
because you did !
THIS IS THE MOST GENUIS SONG I"VE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!
Love how this pops up in everyone's feed.
In the 70's we had a two hour drive to the rig. Our driller played this while we flew down a desert highway, drinking and smoking, like we'd live forever, and never die.
back in the day....
Used to great effect in _Boogie Nights_ when Philip Baker Hall enters the party. Rest in peace, Phil.
Who's still listening in 2048 🎉
M E ~ EVEN IN 2156 😊!! BERNIE GERMANY
@@bernhardherrmann9230 love that all from the king 🤴 🙌 👏 ❤️
Time travel?
...and beyond
High school Spring Break 79' .... 25 of us seniors went skiing at Sugarbush ... they played this song all week!
This song immediately transports me to adolescence...
That there, is a masterpiece..
For sure dude.
SO RIGHT
💯
First time hearing this, wow, can't believe I never heard this before. Born in 86
It captures the era.
This song will snap you out of a depression. In 1989 I was coping with post-university-graduation depression. I found a record with this song which I'd half-remembered from back in the day. Playing it gave me a real lift--it'll do the same for you!
These guys are badass,Sniff N the tears belongs in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
Today I turn 47. This song started my day
Happy Birthday🎂🍥🎊🎉
When my parents weren't fighting, they'd listen to songs like this one.
I never get sick of listening to this tune!!!
boogie Nights baby!
So glad I clicked!!
I love this!! This is what I call music!!
Song of life
Driving my 280z down South Main, West Hartford, CT. on a Saturday night, back in the day. Best driving song!
What a great time for music, 1975-1985
A great tune from the '70's. Step back and listen.
My favorite music of all time, here is a Paraguayan listening to it this Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 11 pm driving down 5th Avenue of New York, priceless.
I am 67 years old and first heard this in 1979 when living in San Francisco California. Seen the video hundreds of times.
My older brother taking me to the rope swing way out off of Highway 84 in the late 70's, I miss that, we had fun.
This is one of those very rare songs thats perfect from start to finish. My opinion of course ;)
Mine, too!
I concur, good sir.
Damn, listen to more music, there's tons of perfect songs haha!
This gorgeous, mysterious, magical song gives me goosebumps, chills, and tears. It makes me want to live forever. With every listen..
This epic song does not just move mountains, it moves the entire universe.
This monster song was released decades before I was even born yet could still be a hit today. The rare songs this great transcend time.
Yup!
That was a gorgeous review by the way I grew up with this song and I couldn't have said it any better good for you 💜
1978? Sounds current. Way ahead of its time.
Released decades before I was born yet strangely familiar.
The rare songs this epic transcend time.
I get goosebumps, chills, and "tears" with every listen.
The harmonies were perfect and the guitar work was impressive.
When I was 8 years old in '79 I knew a girl named Jenny in my class, she mysteriously moved away in summer '80 and I never heard from her again, this song always reminds me of her.
What a great memory. Maybe someday a Jenny will read this and wonder...
I was born in 1972. My Dad had stacks of records. He was a drag racer and had a pro machine shop. He'd come home from work every night and play records and we would dance. To me this song personifies him. Driving, work so you can race at the drag strip, music, repeat.
This was the first song i ever heard. Gary Newman "cars" and hotel California, all on 45's that came from my grandma's bar jukebox. I'm 35 today
This song still generates the same energy it did 40 years ago, awesome sound and unique as a cat with gold eyes!
I'm a fairly new driver and I was just practicing driving in my driveway, I decided to change the radio to the 60's 70's and 80's station, this song just started when I changed the radio. I had to stop for a minute and laugh, especially with the true meaning of this song where it is telling someone to take control of their life and I'm starting to learn how to. The world does tell you what to do in the smallest way, you just have to look for it.
I heard this song on some album I dug out of my highschool girlfriends older brother's record box.
Snif n the Tears, Fickle Heart, it changed how I viewed him, her and me.
I’m a 40 year old pro musician who loves new wave era music. …yet I somehow just discovered this song today. 🤯 It was playing on the classic rock station here in Hawaii.
I’ve listened to it at least ten times already. 😂
