This song came out in the U.S. in 1979. Even after more than 45 years, it is still one of the best one-hit wonders ever made. I hope there are still a lot of people who think the same thing about this remarkable song.
Absolutely. I have them on Pandora and it's the site that I use most often. Wish they performed more. .During that year I had gotten my masters degree and had no husband or kids. Waht a wonderful carefree life😊😊😊
My name is Butch Weatherly and I am very proud to be listening to this song very, very loud on Valentines Day February 14, 2024. I sincerely wish nothing but Peace, Happiness, and Prosperity to all who read this. Take Care and I genuinely Love you all! Respectfully, Butch Weatherly
Wait... are you the same Butch Weatherly from Langford High School in Nebraska, who in 1982, took a bet that you could make it with a cow - and then YOU ACTAULLY MADE IT WITH THE COW!! Dude! At first I was like, "much respect!" But then later, when we'd all sobered up, I was like, "WTF Butch?!?! You made it with a cow! EEEEWWWWWW!!"
Feb 14, 2024 was the day I said goodbye to my baby daughter on her funeral rememberace. She died at 31 years old. It broke my heart. A really nice song to remember her by..........
I have terminal brain cancer. I am 65 years old and the doctors say I have 3 months to live. This song really takes me back to the days of my 20s when life was fun and enjoyable and there were no worries. When I was happy and not slowly rotting away. I wish I could go back to those days man.
If you are still alive (it has been 3 months), and well enough to do so, I would love to hear one of the memories this song brings alive for you. It is a great song, and I'll bet you have some wonderful stories.🥰 Hugs to you!
I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. I'm 62 and I know what you mean it wasa good time. Hand things over to Jesus Christ. HE SAID I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. GIVE IT to the JESUS ITS A WIN WIN SITUATION 🙏 Ask and you will receive. God bless
Man ..I used to wear this song out driving around in my Pontiac Trans Am ....on my Pioneer stereo.. Hell ..yeah ..Mr Dilly is still listening to it.... in 2024... thank you very much !!!!👍🎸😎
Yesss! I had a second hand 1974 Firebird Esprit with a Pioneer stereo, Concorde amp and Jensen tri ax speakers. My ears are still ringing to this very day 43 years later!
😎 1). The Cult's song "The Phoenix" is a great driving song, although that whole album(Love) was recorded poorly, as if the studio producers and technicians hated low and mid range sound/frequency. As a result, it literally sounds like they recorded it with the bass graphic equalizer knobs turned down to -0-, the mid range at -2-, and the high frequency knobs cranked up to the maximum 10! 😏2). Robert Plant's song "Big Log" is a great laid back cruising song, and would be great for desert driving, despite having the dumbest name ever! 😁
@@4coolclips 👍😃👌No problem. Actually, there are a few very good songs on The Cult's "Love" album(their 2nd album), including the title song(Love) and "The Phoenix" and a couple/few others. As a group, they changed their musical style DRAMATICALLY from what you hear on "Love", to their next album "Electric". They had success with Love, so they hired famous producer Rick Rubin(creator of Def Jam Records), who influenced The Cult to change their sound from the post-punk, gothic rock of "Love", to a more traditional hard rock sound, reminiscent of early AC/DC. Actually, "Electric" has some good songs too, its just different. The Cult released their next album, "Sonic Temple", which was a shift from the traditional hard rock sound of Electric, to a mainstream heavy metal sound. Its got some good songs too. It was their most "radio/MTV-friendly" album, although they produced videos from their previous albums that were played on MTV. 👉 Lastly, they released a song called "Painted On My Heart" in 2000, that became the theme song for the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Cage. Its a great song too!⬇️ th-cam.com/video/H3Vu-EeYq_w/w-d-xo.html
@@HighlanderNorth1 I relate so much to your love of music! I miss vinyl bcuz of all the photos, lyrics and info that came on the covers and sleeves. They enriched the whole experience! You weren't kidding about Phoenix Lol! That one is a speeding ticket in the making 🙃😁. I love those kinds for driving..... Motley Crux's "Looks that kill" affects me that way.....have to really keep an eye out on the MPH 😄. Echo and the Bunnymen's " Lips like Sugar", Jesus Jones's "Welcome Back Victoria", and Animotion's "Obsession" all build to high speed vibes too (you probably already know all these!) The Robert Plant one was always one of my favorites, but I didn't know the name....so was a great surprise to rediscover. I see what you mean about it, although I envision a great slow dance or tango under the moonlight ...in the middle of the desert, on that one! ☺️. Thanks so much for the other suggestions, I don't know a whole lot about the Cult but have always Loved Edie, and Sanctuary (another great driving one)......so I can't wait to listen! Thanks so much, I'll post feedback 🙏🏼🙏🏼💗
I am 66. I put this on repeat for 5 times. Then I do my running on the spot to the beat. At the end I am beat but happy. Makes my mind young at least. Who will be able to say that of today's music decades from now?
1978 been married to my wife now for 47 yrs.. I’m now 68 with 2 kids and 5 grandkids.. a lot of tears of joy thur the yrs and a few of sorrow… love this song still..
Wife and I were out with friends at a local pub. This song came on and we all got up and danced our asses off. Oh there was no dance floor but that didn’t matter to us. The song was electric and we were having fun. Great tune, period.
Just remind yourself every morning that unless you want to, you won't die until you've had your fill of ALL the songs in the world. This works; as long has I'm mentally , emotionally & physically healthy, relatively pain-free & interested in living life I'm here til I'm 103. (I went through the hellish nightmare of terminal brain cancer and was given a life span of 6 weeks. Since I had a 2-year-old daughter I decided to fight.) 25 years later I'm still here, listening to great music like this! From the bottom of my heart I give you blessings, comfort and hope, and courage too. As long as you want to, live. Natalie :)
I was wondering who Steve Wright was. Keep coming across songs that say Steve Wright remix. No one would tell me who he was. Maybe I should have googled him.
The strength and weakness of this song is it's just too good. Impossible to follow up. It was always destined to be a one hit wonder. For these few minutes, they were on fire. It sums up a moment in time whilst, at the same time, being timeless. One of my all time favourites.
I'm 56 and we most definitely had the greatest music ! It was so good the bands of today are remaking their own versions of it, and why not? Your not going to make anything any better?
First time I heard this, I just got off duty at the fire station. I was mesmerised by it. I raced down the street to where my girlfriend worked and asked her to marry me. Called my chief and asked for a few shifts off. Everything fell into place. Retired from the Dept. and we still just take off on road trips to this song.
They must have done ok. Those sunglasses that the backup singer is wearing are limited edition, hand made Louis Vuitton aviators, worth about 18k in the 70s, today they fetch about $50kusd.
👋👍✌️ I've been listening since 79 😁. Man we had excellent music 50s,60s,70s &80s!! Its all I listen to! I've given newer music a listen, it just doesn't hit the same.
Underrated? In my country this really great song became a No. 1 hit and was 14 weeks under the best 5.... in Germany :) And I am happy to meet here more fans of Sniff´n´the Tears !
A cassette player!!!!! Ah yes that's how music in the car was meant to be heard. Loudly and over and over by simply pressing rewind and waiting patiently for the beginning of the tune. Remember? The hell with Bluetooth, the hell with immediate song retrieval, there is something to be said about that worn out tape deck that never failed you, until it decided to eat your tape which you had to roll back in place pronto. Now don't get me started on mixed tapes.
“Driver’s Seat” by Sniff’n the Tears was released when I was 21 years-old and I fell in love with the song. I’m 65 years-old now, still love it more than ever, consider it one of my all-time favorite songs and still listen to it regularly. Contains my all-time favorite lyric, “Jenny was sweet” and another lyric that always brings a tear to my eye, “I remember my time with you”. This song is interwoven with the fibers of my life. Thanks for posting :^)
Driving around looking for guys to meet in 1983 and this song pops on and everybody, at the "mall crawl" was digging the beat and vibe that this song created in the listeners minds ...
Being 18 years old and driving down to the South Jersey shore in the middle of the night with this playing on the radio. Simple pleasures good times from the past.
@@tommyd1871 Or Avalon or Sea Isle or Stone Harbor......worked in Sea Isle summer of 81 before going in the service. Priceless. The bars the bands the ladies 🍺. ..
@Kneon Knight I love that song.... I also like Love is like Oxygen. I have quite an eclectic playlist on my channel called "Videos I highly recommend." Honestly I like a lot of songs. But all very good songs 👍 (I even made a couple videos, I really like The Little River Band, so that was definitely one I wanted to make)
Yet another ageless, timeless classic from the 70s. Sounds just as fresh and cool now as it did when it was first released, and probably will do so in another 40 years. 70s was an amazing decade for music.
I honestly kind of agree with you like MOST PEOPLE ARE OLD AND STUPID but the late 70s and early 80s are going to be remembered like the 1920s. Can someone say this out loud? Music from the late 70s and early 80s will be remembered like the 1920s.
No, it doesn't sound just as fresh. Not even close. This is my first time hearing this song (06-07-2021) and without knowing anything about it I could have easily told you that this song was definitely recorded in the 70's. That's not to say it's bad in any way, shape, or form. Songs and music SHOULD capture the 'sound's and 'feel' of the era in which they were created. A song in which no one could feel the 50's, or hear the 60's, etc. would just be missing that certain something that makes music magical.
Same age as myself and the 70s were just such a magical time.....I always loved this tune still do to this day and 1978 was a great year musically xx better times......
Gotta love a song where all of the words can be understood and the instruments are clearly discernible in the music. Beautiful song, brings back memories of simpler times and too many loved ones lost to the march of time.
I was a senior in high school, Raymondville, Texas, back in 1971. The 60s music and the desire to see the world urged me to travel. I did exactly that and changed my own world.
The 70's truly was the best time to be a teen. The music, the clothes, the freedom, the BEST weed! I think of some of the shit we used to do and am totally surprised I'm still alive. These tunes bring the memories rushing back! I miss those care free easy days.
I was just a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s. I have to disagree with you on the weed part- The stuff we had in the 80s was awesome! Long story short- Joined the Army, spent 21 years, was part of the cannabis study by the VA for PTSD (4 combat tours) 1 year into retirement. The shit they have now blows EVERYTHING away!!! I get it medicinally in the mail for PTS! First they try to get you killed, then they get you high! My friends are jealous!🤣
I’m 57. This was my friend Todd’s favourite song . He actually sounded pretty good singing it. Todd died in a car accident at 18. I think of him whenever I hear this song.
RIP Todd.😢 I obviously didn't know him, But your comment makes him live on! He had good taste in tuneage! Hope he's forever in a better driver's seat..YEAH. 🎶
Come on folks, admit it. This is just about the greatest one hit wonder ever recorded. You can debate it, and yes it lies in the ear of the listener. But a gem like this can't be beat. Case closed.
I remember this song very well!!! It was 1979 and disco was still disgustingly popular. I kept wondering whatever became of real rock and roll songs. When I first heard "Driver's Seat" I said to myself "Now there's a real rock and roll song!" I thought Sniff 'n' the Tears were going to be ridiculously successful but this was their only hit. As someone once said "if you're going to be a one hit wonder, THIS is the hit you want to have!!!"
God Damn! I was 18 when this song was played every 20 minutes that summer. A confluence of awesomeness. Maybe 'cause it was the summer after high school, but also because this song is still incredible!
Absolutely! I stumbled on this song while searching for videos of the Namib Desert.. guy uploaded a video of him driving along the coast with this track... WHAT A TRACK. Possibly the perfect driving song. I'm an early 80s born kid and I honestly thought this was a more modern release!
Theres one called Bolero composed by Maurice Ravel. More of a symphony than a song… but it makes you feel for the drummer keeping the beat the entire time
The ultimate night driving song. This song is so unique, from the echoey synth sound, the masterful driving drumming. It has so much atmosphere, never to be replicated.
@@cecillambert8727 - It's actually really good. Fact is, this song right here almost instantly became so larger than life none of their other songs got any airplay. At least a few could have, and probably should have. Several of the band members left the group right after their first album. Their 2nd album was released with a new lineup but sadly contained no hits. Anyway I've had Fickle Heart in my collection for many decades now. Worth the price of admission for this one song alone, but it's a pretty decent album in my opinion.
@@cecillambert8727 My older brother just picked this up at a yard sale for me for a $1.00!! i'm cleaning it now, will let you know how it is!! I never knew this band did this song!!!
@@cecillambert8727 My brother gave it to me last week. He found it at a yard sale. I gave it an ultrasonic cleaning and it is a fantastic album. First pressing from 1978.
Big rebirth for fantastic tune. The energy, the rhythm, the words, the drummer, the base guy, the back pup singer in the shades and that synthasizer. They nailed it.
Those shades on the back up singer were called glacier glasses. They were a short time fade in that era. Notice the light blockers on the outer part of the lenses. Didn't do much for peripheral vision :)
@@charlesdudek7713He (the sunglasses wearer) was ahead of the fashion curve. I was 15 when this song was out and I knew it was great. A few years later when I was 19 and in the military , the sunglasses were a common item on the flight line. (Helicopter maintenance-Tustin,Ca.)
I'm not sure if it's the same guy, but a bass guitarist in this band was my maths teacher a few years back. He used to sing their songs in our staff's got talent every year
Trouble is, if you lived through the 60's to 80's there was just so many like it. Think 'Black Betty' 'Copperhead Road' 'What I like about You' 'Turning Japanese' 'My Sharona' (maybe) 😂. The list is endless when you give it some thought. Back in the day there had to be talent, before there was a contract. How many hits since 2000 will still be listened to in 30 yrs time, when so many of the younger generation are turning to listen to this music already, usually because their parents, or even older in my case, are still listening to it.
The Knack were definitely NOT a one hit wonder. Good Girls Don't, Frustrated, She's So Selfish are just a few that come to mind. True that My Sharona was their biggest hit, but they had quite a few others as well.
We came out of a store and my dog was sitting in the drivers seat- suddenly the song starts playing in my head, haven’t heard this in years and had to listen to it.
With all due respect,it's a lot easier to'hold down a beat' if U're playing theeeeee most basic of kits,( kick,snare,hi hats) with no distractions like toms,floor tom's,roto tom's etc....the better the drummer,the smaller the kit!! Tubbs
I’ve played drums for 23 years and I’m no pro but a 6 year old could play this beat on a hi hat, bass and snare. While he’s keeping the beat in time, let’s see him do same beat (although boring for 2 hours) for a full 2 hour concert. That would be impressive. Serious not mocking this song but I played this when I was 9 years old on a monkees kids drum set.
The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
I close my eyes and it takes me back to September 1979, a junior in high school driving to my 1st job. Beautiful memories when things seemed so simple.
My husband is a drummer.....lost his right hand & leg to a rare blood infection....cancer survivor, PTSD, parental abuse as a child & recovering addict......the love of my life.....I grew up in Ireland & had never heard of "Sniff 'n' the tears" which was odd cos I was very into music back in the day & even music before my time.....he is American & introduced me to them.....I introduced him to Gerry Rafferty & Rory Gallagher.....fair (ish) swap. Got married last Thursday 14 Dec 2023.....still introducing him to decent Irish tunes!❤
I have actually heard this song today or yesterday afternoon on bbc radio 2 by Steven Wrights big show. And i was hooked. And he said afterwards something like, oldies, and 80s. And i was like what??? Wait a fucking minute. Checked it up afterward. Just could not believe what i was seeing......I actually thought that it has just been released now or something similar. OMG...... UNBELIEVABLE.
Same here - I guess it didn't get a lot of airplay in late-70s San Francisco. But 'Boogie Nights' is one of my favorite films, and I've combed through the all of the songs in it - this is one of the definite standouts.
Fabulous movie, and soundtrack. However the soundtrack doesn't have every song in the movie. I still have it on VHS 💗 good times. You want something that will blow your hair back. Get the Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway album and drop the needle when boogie nights starts, with the movie muted. Absolutely cool, and disturbing kinda too.
It was what if band the lead guitarist keyboardist and drummer quit 3 months after this song was released the drummer became popular and has gone on to play in a few big bands
It's 2024. Show of hands. Who's still listening to this classic.
Here !!
Yup
I do❤❤❤❤
I guess we can say I'm here in the driver's seat
These old classics are daily listening for me. Many bring me to tears.

STFU with this question.

This song came out in the U.S. in 1979. Even after more than 45 years, it is still one of the best one-hit wonders ever made. I hope there are still a lot of people who think the same thing about this remarkable song.

Putting "n" in your band name doesn't help either.

I'm 56 and we most definitely had the greatest music ! It was so good the bands of today are remaking their own versions of it, and why not? Your not going to make anything any better?
This my friend is why we need a time machine.

@@avengernemesis7990 hop on board my friend .Who knows where our hearts go when this world ends.
If only these was a time machine !
TH-cam music is my time machine!
TH-cam is a time machine, you idiot.
First time I heard this, I just got off duty at the fire station. I was mesmerised by it. I raced down the street to where my girlfriend worked and asked her to marry me. Called my chief and asked for a few shifts off. Everything fell into place. Retired from the Dept. and we still just take off on road trips to this song.
Love this❤❤❤
This gem always takes me back to a great time in my life, 1979-80...wish I could go back in time and relive those magical carefree days!
78 79 but close lol
78
If you're gonna be a one-hit wonder, this is the hit you want to have.
For real, that statement is debatable. Lots of damned good one hit wonders out there over the years, but this song is among the best of the best.
They must have done ok. Those sunglasses that the backup singer is wearing are limited edition, hand made Louis Vuitton aviators, worth about 18k in the 70s, today they fetch about $50kusd.
This and Radar Love..🤔
@@douglasgreen437 Golden Earring had more hits than just Radar Love though.It's not an apples to apples comparison.
@@carlosspeicywiener7018 It's far more likely that they're knock-offs, but sure.
We are in january 2023 and this song sounds as fresh as in the 80's. It drives me back to my teenage years
Good job young fella enjoy have fun I'm 57 a lot of good s*** out there be safe be happy
Sure beats the crap they make today.
I can’t get it loud enough!!!!
I never heard this song Until 2021. I regret having not heard it sooner but at least I got to hear it now
Turning on my Pioneer KEX-M900 carstereo right now...
👋👍✌️ I've been listening since 79 😁.
Man we had excellent music 50s,60s,70s &80s!! Its all I listen to! I've given newer music a listen, it just doesn't hit the same.
I riding my Harley down the street jamming to this song. People are smiling ear to ear. Yeah, they remember this song very well.
One of the most underrated rock & roll songs of the 1970's.
I agree 😎
One of the best.
Underrated? In my country this really great song became a No. 1 hit and was 14 weeks under the best 5.... in Germany :) And I am happy to meet here more fans of Sniff´n´the Tears !
A cool song ... then and now ... but not underated. The world got this one, it was a big hit .
Full agreement here. I I couldn't ever get enough of this tune. Played it as a radio DJ when it first came out.
I have a '79 Dodge I refuse to let die...I swear when I pop this in the cassette player the engine seems to run better
No doubt in my mind!
Your comment wins the internet.
Yeeaaahhh!
@Kneon Knight wow exactly what i was thinking...
A cassette player!!!!! Ah yes that's how music in the car was meant to be heard. Loudly and over and over by simply pressing rewind and waiting patiently for the beginning of the tune. Remember? The hell with Bluetooth, the hell with immediate song retrieval, there is something to be said about that worn out tape deck that never failed you, until it decided to eat your tape which you had to roll back in place pronto. Now don't get me started on mixed tapes.
This song never gets old. One of the best songs ever. It’s 2024 and I’m still listening!
Unrelentingly cool and absolutely flawless. The first time I heard this song in 1979 I fell in love with it and I still love it.
“Driver’s Seat” by Sniff’n the Tears was released when I was 21 years-old and I fell in love with the song. I’m 65 years-old now, still love it more than ever, consider it one of my all-time favorite songs and still listen to it regularly. Contains my all-time favorite lyric, “Jenny was sweet” and another lyric that always brings a tear to my eye, “I remember my time with you”. This song is interwoven with the fibers of my life. Thanks for posting :^)
Driving around looking for guys to meet in 1983 and this song pops on and everybody, at the "mall crawl" was digging the beat and vibe that this song created in the listeners minds ...
This and Radar Love are THE songs of the millennium! 👍👏👏👏👏👏🥃🥃🥃
Awwww that’s so sweet. Its an amazing song eh ‘ jenny was sweet she always smiles for the people she meets’ brilliant ❤❤

One of the coolest songs ever made
It's exceptional.🤗❣️
@Kneon Knight absolutely. I feel it too. ✨
@Kneon Knight I love that song.... I also like Love is like Oxygen. I have quite an eclectic playlist on my channel called "Videos I highly recommend." Honestly I like a lot of songs. But all very good songs 👍
(I even made a couple videos, I really like The Little River Band, so that was definitely one I wanted to make)
@Kneon Knight that would be awesome. 🤗
The best song EVER! 💕
It's a rainy, kentucky Saturday night, and I played this on my way to work. I think I'll make it through.
Ky here also western
Absolutely loved it back then, and still do in 2024! What a song!
Yet another ageless, timeless classic from the 70s. Sounds just as fresh and cool now as it did when it was first released, and probably will do so in another 40 years. 70s was an amazing decade for music.
And the band play their own instruments 🎹
A super catchy tune, I always find myself grooving out when I listen to it.
I honestly kind of agree with you like MOST PEOPLE ARE OLD AND STUPID but the late 70s and early 80s are going to be remembered like the 1920s. Can someone say this out loud? Music from the late 70s and early 80s will be remembered like the 1920s.
Yes it was
No, it doesn't sound just as fresh. Not even close. This is my first time hearing this song (06-07-2021) and without knowing anything about it I could have easily told you that this song was definitely recorded in the 70's. That's not to say it's bad in any way, shape, or form. Songs and music SHOULD capture the 'sound's and 'feel' of the era in which they were created. A song in which no one could feel the 50's, or hear the 60's, etc. would just be missing that certain something that makes music magical.
One of THE BEST 80’s songs to ever come out of the 70’s!!! One of my all-time favorites.❤
The guy singing back up, too cool!
It's a 70's song. I lived it. The 80's were a whole different vibe.
The world went to sh-t in 1983.
@@beverlypaulk4847 He joined Manfred Mann's Earth Band later. Was the son of the governor of Mauritius I believe.
kinda like "Cars" from Gary Numan the first 80's song that came out in 1979
The perfect song. I never get tired of it after so many years.
The best music of all time!!! What a Decade. Rock on!!
I turned 61 last July and honest to God, this brings tears to my eyes.
A time when life went on forever and the world was as cool as it could be.
Same age as myself and the 70s were just such a magical time.....I always loved this tune still do to this day and 1978 was a great year musically xx better times......
Ditto
62 in July. 78’ grad & some of the sweetest music to be had.
tell me about it..im 60
Yep!!
I so agree with you ☺️
This is one of those songs that could turn up and be a “hit” at any point in time.
This is a timeless classic! So cool!
Sometimes an artist just needs one song to leave a deep footprint.
I'm 68 an old drummer and this song has it all good for the heart
This song never gets old
: Levi S >> many songs never gets old, like this
It reminds me of Art Bell.
I'm definitely older but I agree this song never ages!!!
Songs are the best thing to show yourself how you are getting older....
@Busta Speeker ???????
What on earth you talking about? 🤔
Gotta love a song where all of the words can be understood and the instruments are clearly discernible in the music. Beautiful song, brings back memories of simpler times and too many loved ones lost to the march of time.
From a Brit, yet
Good point, everything is crystal clear, that's solid production and mixing.
The guy with the shades looks like Lenny Kravitz's dad.
u mean this beats out the beibermeister ? LOL !
I hear you my friend.
I was a senior in high school, Raymondville, Texas, back in 1971. The 60s music and the desire to see the world urged me to travel. I did exactly that and changed my own world.
The 70's truly was the best time to be a teen. The music, the clothes, the freedom, the BEST weed! I think of some of the shit we used to do and am totally surprised I'm still alive. These tunes bring the memories rushing back! I miss those care free easy days.
100%
@@mikesantoro6589 Yeah man!!
Yep, good old days. The best times ever
Agreed 🥰
I was just a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s. I have to disagree with you on the weed part- The stuff we had in the 80s was awesome! Long story short- Joined the Army, spent 21 years, was part of the cannabis study by the VA for PTSD (4 combat tours) 1 year into retirement. The shit they have now blows EVERYTHING away!!! I get it medicinally in the mail for PTS! First they try to get you killed, then they get you high! My friends are jealous!🤣
I’m 57. This was my friend Todd’s favourite song . He actually sounded pretty good singing it. Todd died in a car accident at 18. I think of him whenever I hear this song.
A nice way to remember him.
it's amazing the portals, music will take you back into. thx for sharing. :)
RIP Todd.😢 I obviously didn't know him, But your comment makes him live on! He had good taste in tuneage! Hope he's forever in a better driver's seat..YEAH. 🎶
That's rough, man.
59 in August. Pretty welcome! A prayer for your friend!
Still am in 2023 at 71 years young!!!
Well said, man ❤
i am 55 i was driving down the road and listening to this song. brought me back to 1979. good times and great music,
It’s the drummer for me he’s killing it! Much respect! 2023🎉
He plays the whole song with only a snare, bass, and hi-hat....
Bonkers.
He's in the "driver's seat".

Come on folks, admit it. This is just about the greatest one hit wonder ever recorded. You can debate it, and yes it lies in the ear of the listener. But a gem like this can't be beat. Case closed.

Closed!!!

@@valtaylor2574 "Brandy" was a great song, but not a one hit wonder. The Looking Glass also did "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne".

@@volkerke5315 Danke schon mein freund
68 years old, the 70's had real music. Love it
Im 60 AND YES WE DID ,,
I remember this song very well!!! It was 1979 and disco was still disgustingly popular. I kept wondering whatever became of real rock and roll songs. When I first heard "Driver's Seat" I said to myself "Now there's a real rock and roll song!" I thought Sniff 'n' the Tears were going to be ridiculously successful but this was their only hit. As someone once said "if you're going to be a one hit wonder, THIS is the hit you want to have!!!"
74 years old and you're absolutely right.
j ai 74ans et je suis d accord avec vous années 70 superbe époque Claude progni
Totally agree. I'm also 68. Love this song, and music is part of my life. I love when people turn me on to new great music. Kick up your feet!
Loved this tune when it came, and still enjoying it today.
God Damn! I was 18 when this song was played every 20 minutes that summer. A confluence of awesomeness. Maybe 'cause it was the summer after high school, but also because this song is still incredible!
Same here
Could have at least given the middle guy a tambourine.
Me too
tunee
I'm 58 and I have always loved this band 😅
One of the best classics, just timeless.
This amazing song holds up 43 years after its release. It could still be a hit today. .
He
Absolutely! I stumbled on this song while searching for videos of the Namib Desert.. guy uploaded a video of him driving along the coast with this track... WHAT A TRACK. Possibly the perfect driving song. I'm an early 80s born kid and I honestly thought this was a more modern release!
That's how long I have had this album. Bought it when I was stationed with the USAF in Germany.
I reckons it is still a hit Play it to my kids and they are blown away I'm 62 They are 35 and 32 They think I'm 😎
My opinion is that good music never gets old, it goes to hibernate mode waiting to someone to discover great gem again.
I can’t recall a song where the drummer plays the same beat the entire song. And he does it here perfectly.
Theres one called Bolero composed by Maurice Ravel. More of a symphony than a song… but it makes you feel for the drummer keeping the beat the entire time
Keen observation... You're on point.
I never heard of a song when a drummer played the same beat for 4 minutes straight.
The Cars. "Everything You Say" live in Philadelphia.
It's really hard to do that, BTW. Human metronome.
In long sleeves wearing a jacket!
His arms must have been seconds from bursting into flames!
Compared to the so-called music they play these days it sounds like heaven.
The ultimate night driving song. This song is so unique, from the echoey synth sound, the masterful driving drumming.
It has so much atmosphere, never to be replicated.
For me, it's the perfect summer drive down the coast at sunset... lucky enough to have my own Jenny as well. She still takes my breath away!
I'm 63 and this is the first song on my playlist. Will never tire of this song!
Tout à fait d'accord; cette chanson me transporte. Bisous de France
I'm 67 and feel the same way about this song.
62
Same here...a 60 year young woman and this will always be one of my favourites!
A spry 47 here but I feel 147 due to health issues. Great song, I love it!
This song has been stuck in my head for the past twenty five or so years.
And I hope it never leaves.
It's been about 44 years for me. I want it played at my wake some day, off in the far distant future.
Still here 2023 , 58 and not stopping to pull over any time soon! Songs like this keep my engine running fine!
never really stopped

How this band did not come up with 30 hits...I will never know.....this song is flawless on so many levels....
Be curious to hear the rest of the album.
@@cecillambert8727 - It's actually really good. Fact is, this song right here almost instantly became so larger than life none of their other songs got any airplay. At least a few could have, and probably should have. Several of the band members left the group right after their first album. Their 2nd album was released with a new lineup but sadly contained no hits. Anyway I've had Fickle Heart in my collection for many decades now. Worth the price of admission for this one song alone, but it's a pretty decent album in my opinion.
@@cecillambert8727 My older brother just picked this up at a yard sale for me for a $1.00!! i'm cleaning it now, will let you know how it is!! I never knew this band did this song!!!
@@cecillambert8727 My brother gave it to me last week. He found it at a yard sale. I gave it an ultrasonic cleaning and it is a fantastic album. First pressing from 1978.
Loved this song in '78 and still listening to this tune on GTA with my sons!
every millisecond of this song and video is pure quality, thanks for uploading
Big rebirth for fantastic tune. The energy, the rhythm, the words, the drummer, the base guy, the back pup singer in the shades and that synthasizer. They nailed it.
Those shades on the back up singer were called glacier glasses. They were a short time fade in that era. Notice the light blockers on the outer part of the lenses. Didn't do much for peripheral vision :)
damn right the whole band is cooool af :o
That they did and you have to love the sound of that guitar, the backing singer has a fantastic voice.
@@charlesdudek7713He (the sunglasses wearer) was ahead of the fashion curve. I was 15 when this song was out and I knew it was great. A few years later when I was 19 and in the military , the sunglasses were a common item on the flight line. (Helicopter maintenance-Tustin,Ca.)
I'm not sure if it's the same guy, but a bass guitarist in this band was my maths teacher a few years back. He used to sing their songs in our staff's got talent every year
Definitely a strong contender for being the greatest one hit wonder song ever made.
Trouble is, if you lived through the 60's to 80's there was just so many like it. Think 'Black Betty' 'Copperhead Road' 'What I like about You' 'Turning Japanese' 'My Sharona' (maybe) 😂. The list is endless when you give it some thought. Back in the day there had to be talent, before there was a contract. How many hits since 2000 will still be listened to in 30 yrs time, when so many of the younger generation are turning to listen to this music already, usually because their parents, or even older in my case, are still listening to it.

The Knack were definitely NOT a one hit wonder. Good Girls Don't, Frustrated, She's So Selfish are just a few that come to mind. True that My Sharona was their biggest hit, but they had quite a few others as well.
We came out of a store and my dog was sitting in the drivers seat- suddenly the song starts playing in my head, haven’t heard this in years and had to listen to it.
From one 65 year old dude who love's this "seasoned rock" stay strong and reminis of the best days
I'm not a drummer, but I never cease to be amazed at how these guys hold down the beat perfectly, and that's a true skill.
With all due respect,it's a lot easier to'hold down a beat' if U're playing theeeeee most basic of kits,( kick,snare,hi hats) with no distractions like toms,floor tom's,roto tom's etc....the better the drummer,the smaller the kit!!
Tubbs
@@tubbbsamfyoyo2917Thanx gatekeeper
Lead guitar? who or woohoo is he and what else did he do? U like that bpart when he says Yeeaah .!
I’ve played drums for 23 years and I’m no pro but a 6 year old could play this beat on a hi hat, bass and snare. While he’s keeping the beat in time, let’s see him do same beat (although boring for 2 hours) for a full 2 hour concert. That would be impressive. Serious not mocking this song but I played this when I was 9 years old on a monkees kids drum set.

I have actually heard this song today or yesterday afternoon on bbc radio 2 by Steven Wrights big show. And i was hooked. And he said afterwards something like, oldies, and 80s. And i was like what??? Wait a fucking minute. Checked it up afterward. Just could not believe what i was seeing......I actually thought that it has just been released now or something similar. OMG...... UNBELIEVABLE.
Issues getting this pressed and out meant it never made the top 40. Had they got it right, it had top 10 written all over it!!
The drummer’s a human metronome, robotic, hypnotic, and demonically astute in rhythm.
dont forget the subtle nuances of his hi hat lifts. really accentuates his beat. !
I know this song from my youth, but listening to it again, I IMMEDIATELY noticed the beat. It's a fricking winner. It's tight, but it still swings.
Good sh!t, guys. Spot on.

I was a late 90's newcomer to this because of Boogie Nights, and it has never left my playlist since. Simply one of the best songs ever.
Same here - I guess it didn't get a lot of airplay in late-70s San Francisco. But 'Boogie Nights' is one of my favorite films, and I've combed through the all of the songs in it - this is one of the definite standouts.
@@germpore me too because of Boogie nights what a movie and soundtrack
I love this song it reminds me of boogie nights too 😍💖
Fabulous movie, and soundtrack. However the soundtrack doesn't have every song in the movie. I still have it on VHS 💗 good times. You want something that will blow your hair back. Get the Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway album and drop the needle when boogie nights starts, with the movie muted. Absolutely cool, and disturbing kinda too.
This song blew up on USian radio the Summer of 79.
As an ex-drummer, I think it's the only 'pop' song that ever came out without, back in the day, any cymbal crashing or drum rolls. Extraordinary!!

The backup singer on this is Noel McCalla…he was the lead vocalist for Manfred Mann’s Earth Band from 1991-2009.
He looks like he just got out of his Spitfire, put on his shades and joined in with the rest of the band.
Wow, didn't know that. He sang lead on Mike Rutherford's best solo album Smallcreep's Day from 1980, and really was great there.
Thanks, I was wondering who he is.
Looks like he could have been Bruno Mars' father.
