  • Sniff 'n' the Tears is a British rock band best known for their 1978 song "Driver's Seat", a hit in many countries (including #15 on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart). The exception was the UK itself where a problem with EMI's pressing plant meant that the single was not available following the band's appearance on Top of the Pops and it peaked just outside the Top 40.
    Sniff 'n' The Tears are led by singer/songwriter Paul Roberts, the band's sole constant member. Roberts, a noted painter, is also responsible for painting all of the band's album covers.

    They showed a lot of quality in this tune, what happened? it is closing up to 40 years since this track and still feels fresh when you hear it

      They should have made a few more styled like this one or an entire album based on this song. Fuck it...better than being a 1 hit wonder band.

      Have you looked up " Driver Seat Remix "? there are 3 remix versions now recently released.....very cool all 3 of them.

      Pink Floyd based an entire double LP album (The Wall) around essentially 2 songs. There is enough sound and depth in "Drivers Seat" to arrange it dozens of different ways, and thats before scaling the tempo or bringing in different instrument sections.

    Nice video.
    This song has a special place in my life because it was my very own theme song working as a photo journalist (videographer) for Time Warner In NY. The news really is blues and Jenny was my 'sweet' producer who went nuts from the job. "There is no relief"

    Great song! Brings back many lovely memories of 1978. Pity the group didn`t follow up on this brilliant song - as far as I can remember the other tracks on the LP were also pretty amazing.

    Probably my #1 favorite song of all time, for many reasons, not the least of which is that it came out the year I got my license. Does anyone else wonder about "Jenny"?

    I do believe it charted here in the United States in the late-summer/early-fall of 1979 (#15 for two weeks on the Hot 100, on September 29-October 6).

    Gotta like love appreciate enjoy feel this song. I hate that I love so many One Hit Wonders. It's a curse by golly. Unless, someone can turn me on to just one more song by these guys that even broke the top 50. Heck top 💯, I'd love for them (Sniff'n the Tears) to have, at least, one more semi-hit. Semi-somethin'!! But alas I can't find one. Whooa is me. Someone call me A WHAAAMBULANCE, please!!!?? Cause I am whaaaaa-ming like a little kid about one group. Wow that was a long ass rant, or crybaby session.!!! Just call 'em like you see 'em folks. Geez will somebody please tell me to shut the heck up!?!?!?? 😆

  • @markthomas3730

    the 2nd verse should have been " gonna dance the night away" or "gonna dance my blues away" then have to change " news is blue" to "the news was true"

      Listening to this song for the last 40 years and for the first time just saw all the lyrics together. My first thought then was this song doesn't have anything to do with driving a car. I feel this is about an introduction leading to an addiction and dealing with life the best way you can. So if you're regularly getting out and doing a little jiving on a Saturday night, as I did in the late 80's and all the 90's then I would think, wow, you're doing all right. Being in the driver's seat would mean being in control of the occasion or your life. To not be in the "driver's seat" is uncool, unpopular and unmanageable. If you want to have a good time or be in control you need to be in the driver's seat. I love it! Just my opinion of course. My favourite verses are, "come what may, gonna dance the day away" Reckless lyrics right there which I'm guilty of. Lol

      Lyrics and music and what you see and feel it's personal. The artist can say what they want, I feel what I feel and see what I see.
      I know it's a broken English but you guys get what I mean right?
      Hopefully 😂

    0:28 is it a little jiving or a little driving? ( in most karaoke lyrics it appears as a little driving )

    • @davidkuehne9372
      @davidkuehne9372 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I prefer driving, since it fits better with the theme of the song.
