Whose listening to this song in 2024? Loved this song as a kid 😂😂
I am
My 3 year old loves this song.
I was just reminiscing how as a kid our church group ended up at somebody's house on New Year's Eve and all the kids were out back listening to BJ105 play the top hits of the year and this was one.
I always assume song sang by a woman
Loved it then, LOVE 💕 IT NOW!!!❣️ Thanks for asking 🥰.
I was 15 in 78 and remember this song and how deep and awsome the lyrics were. A much more peaceful time when we were truly free. A time when there was not much confusion about love and freedom.
I remember roller skating to this song, such more peaceful times.
Me too!
Me too!! Good ol days!! I was 11
I was 11 and had no business roller skating to this song
@@shethingsd Well you misssed a good decade.
@@Jerseymatt1865 oh I was in my basement roller skating to this song at 11 years old but the lyrics were clearly not something I understood
This song is all about being wild and free and discovering who you are.❤❤
Sounds good to me.😊🎉
Not trying to rain on your parade, but this song is actually rather dark, about underage prostitution.
Nick was a Canadian, and he was astonished to see how many very young girls were selling themselves in the streets of L.A.
@@Gunners_Mate_GunsWOW,that really is so depressing and sad. I'm going to look at the song in a different way now. I really didn't think about it. But,now that you mentioned it,that makes total sense now.
Was 18 years old in 78 had a trans am met a wonderful young lady and that was the year the stars fell from the sky.
My dad has a trans am and I heard this song in it once!
i had a pinto that burst into flames as i was listening to this song but had to run out b4 the song ended
Great memories for sure.....Ooooh if we could only go back in time
It's a highway wonderland,,,
Loved this song when I was young! And now I'm 60 and it brings back memories!
I’m right here with you on this one 🎶 🎤!
Yes, I just turned 60, so I know exactly what you mean.
Born in 71, I liked this song as a kid! It really brings back some old memories. Still awesome!
Love this song. Brings back great memories .
70s had real rock stars.
what a golden era of music Im so glad i grew up in the 70s and 80s we had the best time in those years
I love that era so much I wish I could go back to then such better days ❤❤❤❤❤❤
When Music Was Good 🤘🎸🎵
I was 12 in '78..I used to think it was a female till I got older. 70's and 80's were great times.
Tina Kirby
I always thought that too it was a girl 👧🏼
Have you ever heard him sing Roxy Roller when he was in Sweeney Todd . It was released in 1975 . For several years I thought he was a girl after hearing that .
I'm the same age. I agree the 70's and 80's were the best times growing up. No internet or smartphones but it didn't matter. We enjoyed what we had, and we had the best tv, music and movies of all time. Thanks to technology we can enjoy all the great music and tv shows we had then anytime online.
I just found right now that it's not sung by a female after all these years. Mind blown.
I was fifteen in 1978 and loved this song but still do.
This brings back memories. 78 i was 18 years old weed was cheap concerts were cheap. What I wouldn't give to go back
paid 3.50 for ist concert....
5
Tell me about it. Would love to go back to 81 and 82
Ain’t that the truth right there with ya. 👊
I get my weed for free
I remember buying that 45 and playing it over and over in my room. Later my Dad nicknamed me Hot child in the city! He new how to ruin things! ❤😮😅😊
😂Dammit, dad!
I was in middle school in 1978 I was 14years old those were some of the best days of my life I wish I could go back to those days
I was 12
Me too!!
60 years old and still remember this classic song when it was released.
the 70's, a hot sexy decade.
Yeah it was , a wonderful experience ✨🎉🥳🎊
❤😘❤️👍
I was 7 ,but I remember my mom dancing to it. I love this song. I'm now 52 . I love 70 and 80 and 90s
I was born in 82 but I love 70s music.
Man brings back awsome memories.
I got up the other day with this song in my head. Hadn't heard it decades and always thought a woman was singing! I was 9 years old when I first heard this song. I miss the 80s music.
I was 65 years old when this came out. I'm 126 now, What a great time those days were....
Wow!
Are ya playing with with everyones mind
Hahaha, legend!!
@@carolynsprankle2171 possibly......hee hee
I never thought that but thought he was gay.
I bought the vinyl 45 record in 1978 when I heard this song on the radio and played it often, I really like Nick Gilder voice
Oh I loved this song!! My friends and I had some of the best times while this song was playing. Partying on cheap weed, beer and pop pov vodka! This brought back good memories! Those were the days!!! How innocent our generation X was🤪
I WAS TWENTY AND YES IT WAS THE TIME OF MY LIFE. YOU CAN'T FIND THIS TALENT WE HAD ANYMORE ❤❤❤
Happy 4th of July 2024!😍🇺🇸🎉❤️🤍💙
I was 10 when this was a hit. This song really sums up the late 70’s for me. Even now when I hear this, it’s like being teleported back to the fall of ‘78 in my room. Laying around me are various records, including Cheap Trick at Budokan, the first Van Halen album, the first Cars album, Blondie Parallel Lines, Ramones Road To Ruin, and Some Girls by the Stones. Star Wars posters on the walls.
It’s a really nice feeling.
Haha funny same here, I won a Star Wars poster playing checkers n it was on my wall n of course very similar songs u mentioned n more
that's a special feeling
I’m 51 now this song is the sh*t
We are the same age and I agree with you!!
Same with me, but KISS posters and blacklist posters. I was 14
We used to dance to this with our mom when we were kids while we laughed..
Really great great times the 70 and 80
Thanks everyone for your vote
I was 14 when I bought the 45 of this song in Two Guys. Still great after all these years.
WOW!! From So.Jersey, there was a Two Guys on the White Horse Pike,Barrington!!
Nick...looking GREAT in 2023!!!
Looks(a bit) like Tom Petty!!
@@markbonner1139 nope...Tom's not with us anymore
Looks like my Linguistics teacher from college.
@@markbonner1139Thank you for that reminder! 💘 I love Tom Petty! I can’t believe that I have to live in a world without him 😢. I was blessed to have met the man.
I was 8 years old when this came out...I remember getting this single for my best friend on her birthday...
They were in this rack at Payless for 10 cents back then. You just brought back a lot of memories
I was 12 in 78 and had his poster on my wall..God I miss doing that The 80s music mind blowing. I still play them all at 56
I'm tuned in I remember running around as a child and this song as all of my sisters and brother The BBQ pit going We were all so happy.
R.I.P mom🎉🎉❤🎉😊😢
Yes it was ❤ I wish we can go by in time ❤❤❤❤
I was 8
I was a stage hand setting up and tearing down when Nick Guilder & Sweeney Todd played the clubs and high schools in Vancouver in the 70s...
One of the songs that defined the era of the late 70's. I can remember it when it first came out. Aging myself. Pre-cell phone, pre-internet and even pre-personal computer (give or take a few years).
A GREAT FUCKI'N TIME TO BE YOUNG !!! { in the bay area} I was 15 when this now classic hit !! Timeless tune !
Me too.lol
feathered bangs, roll on lip gloss, loves baby soft cologne, high rise jordash jeans and a freakiing tube top, cruising in my 69 mach 1. junior year in high school,, talking to our friends about when we were going to 'do it' with our boyfriends lol
We must say Gender Challanged now
@Timothy Moran The album it was on was "City Nights", released in June of 1978. This song went to number 1 on the charts here in the US in either August or September of '78, I forget which.
Everyone is disclosing their ages, how mature we are !?
Protect your kids
My whole life of loving and singing this song just now learning it’s a MAN 😳 singing
I was 11. But i remember this song! I still love it!
Awesome 🏁
Over 40 years since I heard this song. Thank you
I'm just turned 59 this year and I used to sing this when I was 30 to 48yrs old at Karaoke. Loved this song since I first heard it. When I used to sing it everyone asked, "why am I singing a chick tune." I told them it's a guy singing it. Was surprised no one new that. Never did know he was Canadian and that's great. I'm a Canadian.
Canada, land of the Guess Who 👍 ahhh the United States👎 they are what we wish we could be, 😁😁😁😭😭
I once had to sing this song at school for the whole week when walking in the hallways, why I did that I was bored and had nothing else to sing, I probably would have been singing love is a battlefield because that is my favorite song but I was sad because my crush was away all week!
I always knew he was a guy even though I was only about 12. He’s a mix of Tom Petty and Bowie, he should have been massive, he has the talent and the charisma. Great guy, l love this.
I was 8 when this came out, & it made me want to grow up faster. It made me think of bright lights, adventures and some day having someone who thought I was amazing. Times were simpler than.
❤❤😘❤️👍
..I kid you not,I CAN REMEMBER BEING THREE YEARS OLD,hearing this tune for the first time and thinking to myself.."OH YEAH,THAT'S A HIT." Still funky after ALL THESE YEARS..😎
i do believe you...
Ah that’s music and scents too, they take us right back ♥️ I believe you too!
100% I believe you. I love it.
I have memories dating back to when I was one year old, confirmed by my parents, so I totally believe you.
16 and a kid from the mountains, new neighbors from l.a. move in. Daughter was a hot young lady. Yea this song has memories
2020 and this tune still has my ear 🎧
My mom said I would sing this as a little girl, sitting in the shopping cart while she was buying food for the house. She said I would strut with my neck and sing out, “hot chile in da city”. She said it embarassed her!! I always did drive her crazy 🤪
The bass and beat tho 😅 hella delicious.. born ‘69.. radio play.. still love this song in 2023 ❤
I was 11 in 1978 .. This song was the jam!!!! Me and my friends used to dance to this song!!!
❤😂😊 Cool! I was 11 also!!😅
woke up this morning(5-10-24)with this song in my head.
How scary was it that this was so popular.
Agreed
Very under rated pop writer. Incredible range as far as vocals. Met him several times when I was opening for him. He's quiet He's also very funny in dry way. True Canadian trail blazer. He opened doors for bands like Streetheart..lover boy and Brian Adams to name a few. I've always had a connection to him. I played my junior high dance when I was in grade 8. I remember playing Electric Love. Times were cool. I appreciate Nick Glider and his band. The hooks are endless. The band was extremely creative and tasty shown in such songs as Catch 22, You Really Rock Me and of course Roxy Roller. Lots of great memories growing up. Wish we didn't have to😁
As the saying goes Way more fun being 20 in the 70’s than being 70 in the 20’s 😂😂😂
My sister and her friends used to sit and play this song and at ten I I had such a crush on my sister friend especially when she would hug me and tell me you're gonna be good looking when you grow up well this is to you wherever you are
I still love this song!
Tori is... I don't even have words, kind of reminiscent of when I first heard Anne Murray
It never ages! ❤
Nicholas Gilder, one of the alltime bests, along with this one of my alltime favorites all these decades
Nick had the whole sexy androgynous thing going for him (whether he was aware of it or not) & from my memory, was one of the first to do it. Great song & at my young age at the time, remembered that it always felt a little “forbidden.”
Bowie was the first.
@@andysmith6218 Yes, it was Bowie and Marc Bolan. But by the time when Nick was singing that song in 78, glam rock had went under. I understand Nick came from the early 70's glam era, but I was surprised Nick and the song made it up the charts in the the late 70. Because Nick was still being androgynous and most of his songs including that one had sounded very much glam.
@@andysmith6218 Bowie was the most famous example (of the ‘androgynous’ look), but I wouldn’t say he was the first. Before him there was Little Richard. However yeah, Bowie kind of perfected it.
Nick Gilder wrote a lot of hits for other artists.
Besides his own two hits, he’s only written two charting hits for other artists (Scandal and Pat Benatar). It’s an accomplishment, but I wouldn’t really call that “a lot”.
If he wrote any other hit songs that I’m overlooking, please let me know.
I didn’t know that 😊
@@Shikta-poobah67he wrote sonic the hedgehog , in an elevator, under the influence of coricidin
@@filramilFascinating.
I was getting ready to graduate in '78 when this song hit the airwaves....
Yeah this is a great song, but he was also the producer for Pat Benatar and Patti Smythe. Not too shabby.
Wow!! I didn't know that. That is interesting. Honestly
I was in high school when this came out it was a giant hit.
I seen him back in 78 when he opened up for Foreigner..wow I'm aging myself but that was the good years.. I snuck out to the concert at 14.. Dane County colisium
hi,how are you doing?
Probably one of the most underrated singers , his music is hard to find online , his greatest hits is his only stuff on Spotify
Hard to find cause he was a one hit wonder
So hard.
He’s playing some shows again with his band Sweeney Todd in the Vancouver area. You tube the band and you will see some if their recent performances Still great.
@@darthdennis6681 Two hit wonder.
@@darthdennis6681 6g
I love his voice! This song came out when I was 14 and I loved it. I'd go back to the 70s any day.
Great tune
This came out when I was a young girl, and I bought the 45 because I wanted this in my ear all the time. Hot guy in the video.
I’ve always loved this song❣️ This is the first time I’ve watched the video. I always thought this was a female singer.😳
Yep, just good feeling rock and roll right there! He and his band are at Rockin The Fields of Minnedosa this weekend. I am certain they will put on a marvelous show. 71 years old, can you believe it? Still putting on great performances and wanting to do the concerts at 71 is AWESOME!!!
I was 13 when I heard him. I had a crush on him. Now I'm 56 and hes still cute
Watching Nick again. ❤❤❤❤
takes me back to Friday nights as a teenager. Always put this on the jukebox in fish & chip shop
i was 13 loved 78
Takes me back to my roller skating days
Fun times long gone
I swear that there was an "Oh" (or "Whoa") at the very end of this song when I used to hear it on the radio.
Thank you Nick you said you would & you did & never forget your sweet smile as I was eating my petite hamburgers at enricos sidewalk cafe on Broadway in san Francisco love forever
Frances whom you wrote song for ❤
This is so weird I'm 54 and heard this song maybe a few times in my life. I woke up 10 minutes ago with the song in my mind.
Tilda swinton sure can sing
Northern Cross 😂 😆 🤣
Hilarious.
I think he looks like David Tennant
Perfect mix voice tone plus melody
Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Music from those days so much better.. all of it..
Best music ever 70s and 80s !
That bass with his voice is killer.
My mom used to love this song and dance to it when we were younger, wonderful memories of her. Love and miss her so much
My little sister use to play this 20 times every morning before we walked to school.
I was sooooo sick of this song....now shes in fresno cali in jail ...i wish she was back home here in sidney ohio i miss her..been 15 yrs since i seen her...

You guys are crazy
I was only 12 too and I knew!!

hi,how are you doing?
Nick Gilder and Bryan Adams were both with a Canadian band named Sweeney Todd.
Didn’t know Martina Navratilova had a singing career
I was in Jr. High when this hit #1. I'd go to the local restaurant for lunchtime. Play pinball and hear this song everyday.
Great song from 1978
Great song I grew up listening to on the radio but was shocked to find out the singer was a he.
Yep me too roller skating miss them days😊😊
Bro gs me back to radio and calling the DJ to play you favorite songs I was 13 so long ago the best music 🎵🎵🎵 ever made back in the day s of good
