I'd say Sam definitely has got the intended meaning of slow ride. "Slow riding woman"..."Slow down, _'go down!!!'_ ..."Got to get your lovin' one more time"...😊 Yeah, lol. Although I have to admit, back in high school in the 70s when I didn't pay much attention to lyrics all that much, I was so into the groove that the message didn't really catch my attention enough to even stop and think about it. I was just too into the guitar riff and the beat as I was driving along in the car jamming to it and getting lost in the vibe.
I think you maybe did, it just didn't seem out of the ordinary. There was a ton of sexual innuendo in a lot of songs. Hell, this was a period where The Tubes appeared with Cher & Dolly Parton for a rendition of Mondo Bondage.
@@chrisjamieson3452 Well, no I actually didn't, lol.. I should know, I was there,...in my own head....so, I remember. And like I said, at that time I really didn't listen closely to lyrics of songs. (yeah, I know but some people are like that when they are teenagers, so please keep any insults to yourself, Thank you.). But honestly, pretty much all I would be able to even sing of that song for you back then would have been the first part of the chorus, "Slow Ride, Take It Easy" That's it. And that line meant nothing in particular to me other than it was just how the hook line of the chorus went and I didn't give it much more thought than that. So, naturally any cleverness or innuendo of lyrics flew right by me. I was just into driving along in my car, clearing my mind, enjoying the moment and jammin' to the tunes. When a banger song like that would come on the radio, I just would turn it up and groove to the beat and the raunchy distorted guitars.
This song closes out my favorite movie Dazed and Confused! That movie has sooo many great songs and depicts perfectly life for a teen in the 70’s! Great song and great movie!
Had small outpatient surgery done in 23 and was wheeled into surgery suite where the nurses had some music on . I said can ya make an old man happy and play a song for me. The nurses, all in their 20's , said sure. So I requested Foghat "Slow Ride" . As they are working as the song is playing, I made sure to sign along and emphasize certain lyrics and one of the nurses goes"Wow, this is a really dirty song". I was how do you think we made all of you during the 70's and 80's. The surgeon , 40 year old women, had to stop my hand surgery as she started laughing.
I was in high school when this came out and it took me a while to figure out what it was about , but I loved this jam. "I just want to make love" and " Fool for the city " are two other great songs. Sam get well!
One of the greatest rock songs ever by one of the greatest band ever. Thank you two for this. I have loved these guys, Foghat, ever since the mid 1970's! Some incredible guitar work featured in this song 👍👍 Great job you two!!! 👌👌👍👍
It's amusing to see reactors of the modern age, react in amazement and sometime aghast, to something we listened to as teens, and took as a matter of course. Progress indeed. 😂😂
When our son was in high school, he found the Camaro he wanted. He needed only a little help to make it his. My request to him was to keep a CD of this song in the vehicle at all times. Window downs and music up!!!
Remember hearing an interview with the band back in the day and they were asked what it was about and they just smiled and said 'well, it's not about a f&*&^ng roller coaster ride'.
Yep, one of the greatest lead guitarist of Rock...the late Mr. Rod Price. FOGHAT LIVE 1977 shows that. Just incredible lead guitar, in particular off that album the song "Honey Hush"
This brings back fond memories of cruising with teenage buddies in my best friend's van in 1977, playing Foghat live on the 8-track as loud as it would go. Didn't think too much at the time about the suggestive lyrics, just loved the riff. Fool for the City is a MUST listen!
Saw em a few times in the 70s ( I believe ) in Atlanta. The best ? We were sitting in a little bar. 3 piece band playing and we had tickets for Foghat the next night. In walk these guys, we had no idea what the band looked like , but they talked with the band playing. They gave up the stage and this is the song they played. Think they did 3 songs and split before things got too crazy because this was pre-smart phone and there were probably 50 people who managed to get there before they left. Since it was a new song we had no idea until they played it at the Omni , I think anyway, at the show. Fun show... great music.
Three of the four members are from Savoy Brown and one from Black Cat Bones to form Foghat. Both Previous bands were based on blues vibes. This song came out in 1975 and the title track of the album "Fool For The City" is another classic song. Their other classic songs are "Drivin' Wheel", "Stone Blue", "I Just Want To Make Love To You", "Home In My Hand", "Sweet Home Chicago" and etc. Sadly, Lonesome Dave and Rod Price (Slide guitar wizard along with Duane Allman, Lowell George and Ry Cooder) passes away in early millennium year. RIP
Foghat was my first concert, during high school. Ended seeing them 3 times. Rod Price is a really good guitarist. The singer is "Lonesome" Dave Peverett. This album is their most popular. The whole Live 77 album is great. I also like Stone Blue.
My 18 year old self is so happy you played the album version and not the radio edit. Most of us heard the radio edit 1st and were blown away when we got the album.
When they played this song at the skating rink, you'd see EVERYBODY flying onto that rink!! That beat and that rhythm made for some gorgeous skating. It thumped.
I think this is the first time I've heard the full version of this song! I think I've been hearing a much shorter "radio edit" version of the song my whole life! This is much better, thanks for that!
I used to do sound for bands for about 15 years back in the day and have a couple little Foghat encounters. First, the band I was doing sound for got to open for Foghat at an area venue and that was a lot of fun. Second, Foghat was playing at another area venue and they had some equipment breakdown and I got a call and rented them some of my gear and got to watch the show from behind the soundboard area. Also cool.
Rod "The Bottle" Price on slide guitar, an absolute master at his craft. Lonesome Dave and the boys brought it live and this was always the closer. The drummer Roger Earl still out on the road with today's version of Foghat rocking the nation. Slide On!
When I was 14, my then 16-yr-old older sister had this Foghat album as well as Frampton Comes Alive, Earth Wind & Fire, and Black Sabbath. When she started driving to school, she would pick up her friends and I learned she smoked cigarettes, "Don't tell mom."
I saw them the first time in 1978, Judas Priest opened for them. Seen them several more times after that, the last time at a bar with the original members. R.I.P. to Dave and Rod.
Saw them when this album broke , was 15 then. Bad azz song. Definitely speaking of THE slow ride 😁 Gotta remember the era this was in . Lots of free lovin' going on in those days. More about pleasure than long relationships. We had our glory days, partied hard, rocked hard, and played even harder. Great review y'all!
This song was the cause of many a speeding ticket. There are a few songs that get your left foot pressing hard on the accelerator. This one, "Radar Love" by Golden Earring, "Roll on Down the Highway" by Bachmann Turner Overdive, and "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar to name a few.
You ought to do one of their live performances from back in the day they sounded great live I have seen a few clips his vocals live were spot on as good as studio on the tracks I have seen
Wow .. never thought of it like that, but you make a good point .. they have a Boogie Woogie, Southern, New Orleans kinda Funk goin' on there ... maybe even some Skynyrd in there too !
I was a teenager in the late 70’s, and got the opportunity to study sound engineering at Foghat’s studio in Port Jefferson, NY - “The Boogie Motel”. An amazing experience 😊
Need to check out Foghat's "Fool for the City" or the classic " I Just Want to Make Love to You" !!! This band always had a killer 70's vibe and we're so good live! Another band in this genre is Thin Lizzy. And I caught a show with both Foghat and Thin Lizzy together! They were both so popular in 70's I can't remember who opened for who!!🎉🎉🎉
So glad you guys did the original version. Y'all needa check out "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group and "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. 2 kick-ass early 70s songs. Both also have iconic live performances. Frankenstein live from the Old Grey Whistle Test and Hocus Pocus from the Midnight Special. I suggest doing the studio versions first, then if you like them (and you will), do the live ones.
Great song. Orgasmic! Women are so natural and free the way they react to music when they hear a song they're digging on. It's just cool to see. So many great bass, guitar, drums, and vocals. I love the power chord emphasis on the, Go down! Slow Down!" parts. Also love part where it sounds like he's smoking a joint through a phase shifter effect. Great job you two!
Saw them in '85 with Train and Little Feet as openers. Sounded just as good live. Killer concert. I don't do the herb, but there was a nice, mellow contact high as a bonus.
Sam is spot on! Speed it up, slow it down, speed it up, slow it down, then speed it up as fast as you can until....you're left feeling satisfied. This song can be a little dangerous to drive to with the volume blasting. Keep an eye on the speedometer towards the end.
I first saw and heard them on 'Don Kirschner's Rock Concert' in the early mid-70s. Loved "Lonesome" Dave Peverett's crunching rhythm guitar and impassioned vocals, Roger Price's slide playing and the rock solid bass and drums. Can't say I recall the very funky popping bass, but it strikes me in retrospect as being very forward looking, slightly ahead of the curve, if you will. I gave this album to one of my siblings for Christmas so I'd have it on hand to listen to whenever I wanted. Selfish? Okay. Shoot me. 😊🤙🏼🎶🔥❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
The opening riff was the riff that made me want to play guitar (which took a few years to actually start). But as a ten year old just awakening to music in a deeper way, that muscular riff made me scrunch my face, grit my teeth and rustle up as muscularity as a ten year old could. The next few years were the best rock & roll years and I got to be a young teenage boy growing up with it.
I use to play Foghat (amongst many other bands) on my Hipster when I was in Jr High, but had to keep the 8 track tapes hidden from my parents. If they found them I may have lost the use of my Hipster, 😂 I succeeded concealment and still own it to this day! 😊
This is their most successful song but it is far from their best. Saw them several times. They had 4 golds and a platinum. R.I.P. Lonesome Dave you were great.
First band I ever saw at a concert (opening), the second was Queen (headliners). The live album is one of my 5 favorite of the genre, as I prefer studio albums for listening. Concerts are for partying. So much of rock was about sex and how cleverly they could express it. Seriously! Watching people dance to this is always entertaining near the end.
I think 76 was MAYBE THE BEAST YEAR FOR THE MUSIC IDUSTRY,Bostons Boston More than a feeling. Kansas. Cary on wayword son Peter Frampton Comes ALIVE .Just a small sample of the mid 70s
Risqué girl from high school in 1st year of college won the "Slow Ride" contest on a mechanical bull at a bar in 1981. About 8 of us lived in the same off-campus apartment complex. 2 weeks after her "win", 5 of my friends had notices from the Health Department on their doors ...it was called VD back then. Thankfully she wasn't even close to my type...we partied, but she was too skanky for hanky panky. ...seemed like the temperature went up on the right hand side of the screen.
Most people are clueless about the 'Dirty/Bawdy Blues' from the 1930's/40's/50's.........with songs like 'Shave em dry', 'Sweet Honey Hole', 'Bannana in your fruit basket', 'It's tight like that', "Please Warm My Weiner", "If It Don't Fit (Don't Force It)", "It Ain't the Meat (It's the Motion)", "I'm a Hi-Ballin' Daddy", "I Had to Give Up Gym" and the list is endless.
Years ago when NASA sent out that satellite into the endless void to hopefully be picked up by... something, it included some recordings of classical music, Mozart or Brahms, to showcase humanity at its best. I once drunkenly made the case in a bar that we should have sent FOGHAT.
Good rock song and some R & B groove for some love making. Gotta remember censorship was huge in that time so Phil, you are what Foghat wanted the censors to think in my opinion but all the fans knew what Sam knows and that is what this song is really about.
This was the 70s, censorship wasn't that big at all. You couldn't swear on the radio, but there was no limit to what you could talk about or sing about. Everything was out in the open then. You could say anything you want on the records, they'd just bleep swearing for broadcast. Even that was very close to not being censored as the Supreme Court almost voted to say the FCC couldn't censor anything. If that had been the case then tv and radio would have had no censorship at all going back to the early 70s. How different would things have been if that had happened.
Foghat was formed by a couple of guys in the blues band Savoy Brown, who decided to leave a form a rock band. Savoy brown continued and the two bands were friendly with eachother even up until Kim simmonds (savoy brown band leader) passing a couple of years ago. If you enjoyed this, check out hellbound train by savoy brown.
I was 16 and it was the late 70's.... This was my girlfriend and my favorite song to get down to.... Definitely sexual innuendo.... Times were really good back then and far less stressful.
I first heard this when I was 10, I thought they were talking about driving a car. I loved the ending, it was heavy, fast and the production was crystal clear and in your face (sorry). Foghat is a sorely underappreciated 70's band. Fun reaction (I really did think it was about driving a car slow)
Guys...enjoy your youth. We are in our 60's, still enjoy each other but cant'...ah...get as rowdy as we used to, if you know what I mean. Great reaction, as always.
I'd say Sam definitely has got the intended meaning of slow ride. "Slow riding woman"..."Slow down, _'go down!!!'_ ..."Got to get your lovin' one more time"...😊 Yeah, lol.

This song closes out my favorite movie Dazed and Confused! That movie has sooo many great songs and depicts perfectly life for a teen in the 70’s! Great song and great movie!
Yesssss
great movie
Best movie..freakn yea
Sweet Emotion!..
You should watch Richard Linklater's spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused called "Everybody Wants Some," which takes place in the 80s.
Finally some one got the right version ....Fool For The City is a great one as well
If you had a Trans Am, Camaro or any muscle car in the 70s, you played this song, loud. Guaranteed!
Hell Yeah
And likely got a ticket for speeding. 😄
Sure did. 1970 Buick Skylark Custom V8 black with black vinyl top 🔥😎
Yep, I had a 75 Cutlass Supreme that looked just like the Camero and I think I busted out my speakers on this song!
I had a 77 Monte Carlo, big block V8, 4-barrel carb, and a 25 gallon gas tank. Good thing gas was less than a dollar!

I had the same experience with my hand surgery. We talked rock music through the whole procedure.
Thank you. What a great story. Made my day and made this reaction video even better.
this track was just made for live performance
last song of the show
shame you had to suffer through the remastered version. it’s hideous. find the original if you can.
Sam you're the Best.. You're correct Woman on top... Complete control.
A little thirsty, are we?
I was in high school when this came out and it took me a while to figure out what it was about , but I loved this jam. "I just want to make love" and " Fool for the city " are two other great songs.
Sam get well!
Being over 60 and growing up in the 70's...I did manage to see Foghat twice in concert! Great times!
me to they sound great live
Good Toronto band grew up in the seventies the same as you was amazing time back then
I bet you wish you go back and relive it again like I do.
Me too! I caught Foghat and Thin Lizzy on the same bill! What a killer show that was! Epic!
5 times.
One of the greatest rock songs ever by one of the greatest
band ever. Thank you two for this. I have loved these guys, Foghat,
ever since the mid 1970's! Some incredible guitar work featured in
this song 👍👍
Great job you two!!!
👌👌👍👍
Yep. A whole song about cowgirl. And on the radio every day.
Their "Foghat Live" is Gold.
It's amusing to see reactors of the modern age, react in amazement and sometime aghast, to something we listened to as teens, and took as a matter of course. Progress indeed. 😂😂

I had a '78 Top Z28 in HI Skool 1983
@@theodoreritola7641 had a '78 black/gold in 1990
SWEEEEEET right ON.
SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT LOOK A LIKE ? WOOOOOOW
Remember hearing an interview with the band back in the day and they were asked what it was about and they just smiled and said 'well, it's not about a f&*&^ng roller coaster ride'.

Great song. It was in the movie and soundtrack, Dazed and Confused, if you've ever seen that. Last day of school in Austin, TX 1976. Good flick.
Yep, any time a song comes on from Dazed and Confused I remember the movie. Fun movie for sure.

SO THIS WAS THE PARTY ROCK SONG AT PEOPLES HOUSES ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS BACK IN THOSE GR8888 70'S SAM & PHIL! 👍😊
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!
The 70s where KILLER period
When I was 14, my then 16-yr-old older sister had this Foghat album as well as Frampton Comes Alive, Earth Wind & Fire, and Black Sabbath. When she started driving to school, she would pick up her friends and I learned she smoked cigarettes, "Don't tell mom."
Awesome song we always had in our playlist. As my friends would say, it's a song for "Life at full speed and high volume."
I was lucky to see Foghat with the Outlaws back in the 80's.
I saw them the first time in 1978, Judas Priest opened for them. Seen them several more times after that, the last time at a bar with the original members. R.I.P. to Dave and Rod.
Saw them when this album broke , was 15 then.
Bad azz song. Definitely speaking of THE slow ride 😁
Gotta remember the era this was in . Lots of free lovin' going on in those days.
More about pleasure than long relationships. We had our glory days, partied hard, rocked hard, and played even harder.
Great review y'all!
This song was the cause of many a speeding ticket. There are a few songs that get your left foot pressing hard on the accelerator. This one, "Radar Love" by Golden Earring, "Roll on Down the Highway" by Bachmann Turner Overdive, and "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar to name a few.
One of my all time favorites, I was that teen big headphones 8 track playing this song in my bedroom, awesome, thanks y’all
Fool for the City is another classic
Another great Foghat song for you "Fool for the City" would be terrific to check out.
always loved the bass in this song
You ought to do one of their live performances from back in the day they sounded great live I have seen a few clips his vocals live were spot on as good as studio on the tracks I have seen
This was all over FM radio when the album came out. Just crank it up with this song!!! All the way up!
Climaxing after that slow ride
Foghat, the best Southern rock band England ever produced.
First time I've ever heard it classified as Southern Rock. Not sure I agree
Wow .. never thought of it like that, but you make a good point .. they have a Boogie Woogie, Southern, New Orleans kinda Funk goin' on there ... maybe even some Skynyrd in there too !
Rod Price was a great slide guitarist back in the day. Kind of forgotten/overlooked now
I was a teenager in the late 70’s, and got the opportunity to study sound engineering at Foghat’s studio in Port Jefferson, NY - “The Boogie Motel”. An amazing experience 😊
Need to check out Foghat's "Fool for the City" or the classic " I Just Want to Make Love to You" !!! This band always had a killer 70's vibe and we're so good live! Another band in this genre is Thin Lizzy. And I caught a show with both Foghat and Thin Lizzy together! They were both so popular in 70's I can't remember who opened for who!!🎉🎉🎉
I HAVE LOVED THEM SICE THE MID 70S LOL!!!!
Sam, hope you feel better, this is a great song.
Saw these guys in a tiny little bar in Austin ,,93ish. They BLEW THE ROOF OFF,,,💥💥💥👍😎
Awesome song, great show saw them live in concert in a bar, that I didn't know they were playing in yeah 🤘😆🤘🎸🎸🎤🥁👍
I saw these guys in 1976, 1981, and 1999...great show all three times.
So glad you guys did the original version. Y'all needa check out "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group and "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. 2 kick-ass early 70s songs.

Sam is absolutely correct!!! The live version is even better.
❤❤❤❤❤ Phil, love the new doo! ❤❤❤❤❤ Sam, you still look BEAUTIFUL, even with a cold!!! Rock on, this is my generation at one of it’s highs ❤❤❤❤❤

Fog hat rules
Great song and reaction
This is a rock & roll masterpiece. Don't know if anything can be it for rocking out!
Robust had a whole slew of rocking' blues. Their version of Take Me To The River was awesome.
Saw Foghat open for The Outlaws, back in the 80's. Great show!
70’s Classic Rock Just Hits Different. Those 70’s Classic Rock Bass Lines Never Disappoint
Last time I was pulled over for speeding…yep, Slow Ride pushing me down the freeway. Highway Patrol wasn’t buying any of it. Rock on!
A really great Foghat song is “Fool For The City”. Something to keep in mind when considering listening to Foghat in the future.
I use to play Foghat (amongst many other bands) on my Hipster when I was in Jr High, but had to keep the 8 track tapes hidden from my parents. If they found them I may have lost the use of my Hipster, 😂 I succeeded concealment and still own it to this day! 😊
This is their most successful song but it is far from their best. Saw them several times. They had 4 golds and a platinum. R.I.P. Lonesome Dave you were great.
LOL!!! Nah, Sam’s right on this one. When it hit the airwaves, none of us had any doubt what a “slow ride” was. It was the source of many sly smiles
That bass!!!!
Great song to be introduced to Foghat with. Another song to react to is the title track, Fool For The City.
Slow Ride from Foghat “LIVE” is the Best version of this song IMHO .. Seen them a few times over the years they never disappointed…
TOTAL SEXUAL INNUENDOS, SAM GOT IT! 😊YEAH PHIL, THE BREATHING SOUNDS IN THE MIDDLE, THE SCREAMING ORGASMIC GUITAR SOUNDS, JUST INSANE!💯👍
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this song is 100% sexual.
What I noticed has the tempo kept picking up Sam's face was getting more and more flushed.
First band I ever saw at a concert (opening), the second was Queen (headliners). The live album is one of my 5 favorite of the genre, as I prefer studio albums for listening. Concerts are for partying.
So much of rock was about sex and how cleverly they could express it. Seriously! Watching people dance to this is always entertaining near the end.
I think many a baby has been made listening to this.
Ya gotta love Sam! Always so adorable and insightful. 😂
Foghat was a very popular group in the 70's, we were spoiled with great groups and music.
AWWWWW MAN, I LOVE THE BACK AND FORTH!😊FOGHAT WAS A GREAT SOUTHERN, BLUES, BOOGIE ROCK BAND WITH AWESOME SOUNDS, R.I.P☹'LONESOME' DAVE PEVERETT
You do know they were from England, right?
I think 76 was MAYBE THE BEAST YEAR FOR THE MUSIC IDUSTRY,Bostons Boston More than a feeling. Kansas. Cary on wayword son Peter Frampton Comes ALIVE .Just a small sample of the mid 70s
MORE THANA FEELING by BOSTON 1976 needs a check out GOOOOO 70s
These guys are British. A lot of folks think they are American but they aren’t.
Hey Phil and Sam, another song by Foghat that you should definitely react to is "Fool For The City"
Oh man now ya gotta listen to Fool for the City, Honey Hush, Just Wanna Make Love and Maybelline ( Chuck Berry cover).....
Risqué girl from high school in 1st year of college won the "Slow Ride" contest on a mechanical bull at a bar in 1981.
About 8 of us lived in the same off-campus apartment complex.
2 weeks after her "win", 5 of my friends had notices from the Health Department on their doors ...it was called VD back then. Thankfully she wasn't even close to my type...we partied, but she was too skanky for hanky panky.
...seemed like the temperature went up on the right hand side of the screen.
love your guys videos. Awesome couple. She's a very Beautiful Woman, and the Man is Cool great team
as a drugged up 15yo I needed 30 SECONDS to figure it out!
It came to a throbbing climax!😊🔥🎸
Most people are clueless about the 'Dirty/Bawdy Blues' from the 1930's/40's/50's.........with songs like 'Shave em dry', 'Sweet Honey Hole', 'Bannana in your fruit basket', 'It's tight like that', "Please Warm My Weiner", "If It Don't Fit (Don't Force It)", "It Ain't the Meat (It's the Motion)", "I'm a Hi-Ballin' Daddy", "I Had to Give Up Gym" and the list is endless.
That era also had a bunch of "nudist" movies, I'm sure very educational. People have always been pretty dirty, nothing new happenin' today.
"Slow down... Go down... Got to get your lovin' one more time!..."....... We know what we got going on here 😘...
Years ago when NASA sent out that satellite into the endless void to hopefully be picked up by... something, it included some recordings of classical music, Mozart or Brahms, to showcase humanity at its best. I once drunkenly made the case in a bar that we should have sent FOGHAT.
Good rock song and some R & B groove for some love making. Gotta remember censorship was huge in that time so Phil, you are what Foghat wanted the censors to think in my opinion but all the fans knew what Sam knows and that is what this song is really about.
Excellent explanation.
This was the 70s, censorship wasn't that big at all. You couldn't swear on the radio, but there was no limit to what you could talk about or sing about. Everything was out in the open then. You could say anything you want on the records, they'd just bleep swearing for broadcast. Even that was very close to not being censored as the Supreme Court almost voted to say the FCC couldn't censor anything. If that had been the case then tv and radio would have had no censorship at all going back to the early 70s. How different would things have been if that had happened.
Foghat was formed by a couple of guys in the blues band Savoy Brown, who decided to leave a form a rock band. Savoy brown continued and the two bands were friendly with eachother even up until Kim simmonds (savoy brown band leader) passing a couple of years ago.
If you enjoyed this, check out hellbound train by savoy brown.
I was 16 and it was the late 70's.... This was my girlfriend and my favorite song to get down to.... Definitely sexual innuendo.... Times were really good back then and far less stressful.
If aliens came to earth and asked, "What is Rock?"Play them this song
This song has been used s o many times in so many things...movies, commercials, TV etc
Lonesome Dave with the bottle slide just awesome
You guys crack me up. Great song
I had this album and another copy on 8-track so I could take it with me!! Great choice!
I first heard this when I was 10, I thought they were talking about driving a car.
I loved the ending, it was heavy, fast and the production was crystal clear and in your face (sorry).
Foghat is a sorely underappreciated 70's band.
Fun reaction (I really did think it was about driving a car slow)
Guys...enjoy your youth. We are in our 60's, still enjoy each other but cant'...ah...get as rowdy as we used to, if you know what I mean. Great reaction, as always.
Sam had it right. Great song, you can slowly roll, then frantically dance near the end.
You're spot on, Sam, lol!
Nice, you got the long version. 👍
