Why would anyone say anything other than it’s a classic cut ?… then they would reveal themselves as a philistine which would entail me farting in their general direction … so best for them to just go along with us ! 🤣 👍🏴
@@sebastianblack6506 yeah i eventually got found out and got into trouble. Mom's in heaven now. Looks like im headed in the other direction. But Mama tried... 🥴
@AkelaTalamasca Over 40 years ago. What's a few years among friends. Just glad they finally got around to one of my all time favorite one hit wonders.
@@Jims_Camera_at_dawn This tu e released in the same week as Tubeway Armys 'Are friends electric'. Gary Numan appeared on Top of the pops, and people were fascinated as to what New Wave/Synth was evolving into... This Siffin the tears ditty should have been a far greater hit, but at the time Numan was crowned king.
Yay! One of my favorite 3-chord specials to jam on the 80's Roland HP-450. It's Bm-A-G, but it's usually easier for the guitar player if you play it in Am.
Jay & Amber, great one-hit wonder!!!! 1979. That drummer is locked in to the same groove for the whole song! Lead singer Paul Roberts, guitarists Laurence "Loz" Netto, Mick Dyche, Chris Birkin bassist, drummer Luigi Salvoni and Noel McCalla backing vocals.
Paul Roberts wrote the song some years earlier than this production but I think it was Luigi Salvoni who picked up on it's potential as a hit and put the band together for this version. Noel McCalla went on to front Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Loz Netto still records today with many albums under his belt.
@@theodoreritola7641 1979 song. It reached #42 in their home UK in June 1979. It spent 14 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 from 7/21/79 to 10/19/79 peaking at #15.
Well, it's lesson time. The original formation of the band was in 1973 catching gigs wherever they could but they hadn't gained any notoriety so Paul Robert's (lead singer and founder) dissolved the band and moved to France where he met Luigi Salvoni who had heard a couple of Robert's demos and decided to be Paul's producer and drummer.Salvoni used to be in a band called Moon along with guitarist Loz Netto, who also joined the group. They then added bassist Chris Birkin and guitarist Mike Dyche. Alan Fealdman was the keyboardist. Although the song was recorded in 1978, the record label was going through a distribution change and the album wasn't released until a year later in 1979. The single, "Driver's Seat" used guest keyboardist Keith Miller and guest backup vocalist Noel McCalla, who had been Moon's lead singer. The album Fickle Heart was a success, mainly due to the single "Driver's Seat", however, shortly after the release of the album, the band had fractured with members going off to pursue other interests. The band reformed with new members and moved forward, however, "Fickle Heart' was still their only major success.To this day, Paul is the only member left playing in the group. Now the fun stuff!!! The band was originally going to be called The Tears, but Salvoni suggested Sniff 'n' The Tears because Paul had severe hayfever and was always sniffing due to his runny nose.,So Paul was Sniff and The Tears was the band. The 'n' represents the word 'and ' , it's not like sniffing the Tears, it's a common mistake. Paul also had a slight speech impediment so people misheard the lyrics "a little jiving on a Saturday night" instead they heard "a little driving " However the lines that follow describe that they had indeed been dancing. The song has nothing to do with driving. According to Paul it's about the fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow up breakup of a relationship. To be in the Driver's Seat is to be in charge, to be in control of your life. Paul was also a great artist, he painted the cover of the album,,which you see on the face of the bass drum. And now you know the rest of the story. This is still one of my all time favorites. Anyway, loved the review, love you guys, take care and stay safe ❤️
Good on you mentioning Paul's art career. In some circles he's known more as an outstanding hyper-realist painter than the former singer of Sniff n the Tears.
But it's not THAT much shorter...the guitar outro on the original fades almost immediately. I always thought it was a crime that it didn't go on longer.
I'm not sure if this video was ever edited from an extended version as you can clearly see Luigi Salvoni stop drumming right at the end of the fade out and set his sticks down.
When I was in middle school my neighbor, who was 3 years older, used to take me with her on the weekends and cruising between south Georgia towns and Tallahassee, Fla. We used to blast this song and sang along! The memories are flooding me this evening. Thank you for pulling songs from our memories. Gives me a huge smile this evening. ❤
The drummer is the world's greatest human metronome. Not once does he alter or change the beat, a no fills, no frills unwavering rhythm. The variety comes in the instrumentation, guitar and keys, as well as backup vocals. GREAT song.
This song is one of my all time favorites. That Rythym guitar never let's up. And of course the drums. Oh god. And this song gets me totally amped up. Like you could raise me from the dead with this one.
Always loved this song. FYI the name of the band Sniff ‘n’ the Tears means Sniff and the Tears. Not sniffing tears. Origin of the name: When naming the band, Paul Roberts (vocals, guitar) suggested "The Tears", but their manager suggested "Sniff 'n' the Tears" because Roberts had hay fever and sniffed a lot.
What a wonderful interpretation of a remarkable one hit wonder. I was a teen when this song was released in 1979, and yes, it has a certain dark, almost ominous undertone. 45 years have passed, but this seemingly timeless song still has it. Disco was till huge in 1979, however there were rocking bands, singer songwriters, sappy love songs and the new wave was just arriving. Here's a few suggestion if you want to catch some of this time's vibe: Ian Gomm "Hold On"; Alan Parsons Project "Lucifer"; Iain Matthews "Shake it"; Rickie Lee Jones "Chuck E's in Love"; Cars "Let's Go"; Electric Light Orchestra "Shine A Little Love"; Bad Company "Rock n Roll Fantasy"; John Stewart "Gold"; Dire Straits "Sultans Of Swing" (released in UK 1978, North America 1979 release); Led Zeppelin "All of My Love"; Gerry Rafferty "Get It Right Next Time"; Chris Norman/Suzi Quatro "Stumblin In"; Giorgio Moroder "Chase"; Prism "Armageddon"; April Wine "Say Hello"; Roxy Music "Dance Away".... every one of these songs has an interesting backstory. Well done!
80’s and 90’s was so many different different bands, this song was fabulous. You two need to try new band THE CHURCH, song is called UNDER THE MILKY WAY. Used it in a few movies as well
Loved this when it came out I was 11 but it had such a cool beat and still does. If a road or a highway had its own theme song this would be it. Thanks for finally reacting to it.
One of the many one hit wonder groups of the 80's. If you want some other one hit groups with strange names try "I Want Candy" by Bow Bow Wow, Timbuk 3's "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" or Wall of Voodoo, "Mexican Radio".
You had me at Mexican Radio and shades …. “ And then Dan knew he’d fucked up adding ANYTHING by Bow Wow Wow “… I know music is subjective etc but Dan what HAPPENED in your life back then for you to say you liked “ I want Candy?”… ffs they were a plastic manufactured post punk outfit put together by Malcolm McLaren cis the big deviant had a thing for a 15yo who couldn’t even sing …. 👀 Woah…. NOT cool Dan ! 🤮 👍🏴
I was only 12 in 1979, but you are exactly correct. The other song that I liked from this same time was "Cruel to be Kind" by Nick Lowe (think I have the name right).
One of the great songs from 1979 that helped kill Disco. Even though they were a one hit wonder, they shared the charts with My Sharona, I Want You To Want Me, Let's Go by the Cars, and even The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
1000s of other great songs from 1975 till midnight 1979 Dec 31s other than DISCO, TOTO APRIL WINE THE STONES BOB SEAGER BACK BETTY RAM JAM I CAN NAME A LIST 50 MILES LONG THEMID TO LATE70s where packed with way more that just disco maybe 20 percent of disco tops
Whenever I played this at a party, wedding reception, or on the radio it would always get a big response; and then many years later I hear it used in "Boogie Nights". Full circle.
The name of the song is driver seat, so most people assume that he's singing, a little driving on a Saturday night. But in fact it's, a little jiving on a saturday night.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC,ETH...)
You actually need an expert trader assigned by a registered broker company to help you out. I currently trade expert Mrs Lori Jean. I thought I'm the only one trading with her .
I know Mrs Lori Jean. and I have also been trading with her. She's such an amazing woman with good skills that keeps me happy all week, knowing I earn 15thousand extra income trading with her!!!!
Takes me right back to high school.....crusing Main Street......Still one of my favorites that gets played on my ear buds when Im on my motorcycle. Thanks for choosing this. LOVE it!
Love this song!!! My fav radio station, WLIR then WDRE 92.7 FM always played Driver's Seat! I cannot believe that you haven't reacted yet to You Spin Me by Dead Or Alive, a fun New Wave song with a great music video. Reacting to You Spin should be a top priority, ask anyone that knows it! That's a quirky band name, Dead or Alive, so is Violent Femmes (Blister In the Sun), Love & Rockets (Ball of Confusion), Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Relax).
I went to the LI premiere in Port Washington to see it, & I own 2 DVDs somehow, lol. I met with Rich, a fan who was interviewed for the movie, I'm in a WLIR group on FB. The movie might still be on Showtime, they changed the title to New Wave: Dare To Be Different.
@@Teraxx23 I listened to WDRE all the time, at home, at work & in the car, up until they went off the air. I moved back to LI after the station changed to WDRE.
One could see the band as a guy called "Sniff" and the band is "the Tears", i.e. Sniff and the Tears. Not sure if that is the intention or not. It is an interesting song, almost representing a transition from late 70s guitar driven rock and the early intro into keyboard new wave. I am glad you did this tune though, since in tends to get lost in the shuffle.
That smooth sounds can also be heard in bands like Fleet Foxes, Houndstooth, Innocence Mission, Golden Palominos, The Sundays, Sneaker Pimps...from roughly the same era, I think. Cool share y'all thanks!
Man takes me back to being a sixteen-year-old kid back in 1979 and skating to this song at the skating ring along with all the other great hits we had back then
This sound is power pop late 70s, which has its own sound and often gets overlooked or lumped into the 80s. Other examples would be Hot Child in the City by Nick Gilder, Magnet and Steel by Walter Egan and Gold by John Stewart. It truly was a transitional sound and one of my very favorite sounds of the late 70s.
The production of this song is top-notch. Layer after layer of sonic greatness as the song progresses. A one-of-a-kind song that I will never tire of listening to.
I don't think it was "Sniffin' The Tears". I believe it was "Sniff 'N The Tears" (with the "N" replacing the "And"). But I could be wrong. One of my favorite tunes from 1979. Too bad they didn't have anything else that made it to the top 40!
My favorite song of my late high school period. Released my junior year. To listen to this song while driving at night at that time and what it evokes and still does is beyond words. It is the number one nostalgic song of my late teen period.
Since y’all are intrigued by band names, “Crash Test Dummies” are a Canadian folk/rock group with a unique sound. A good start would be “Afternoons and Coffee Spoons” with a fun video!!!
The band name is read as Sniff and the Tears, not Sniffing the Tears. More like Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band...or my favorite Buster Hymen and the Youngbloods.
In the summer of 1979, my 12 yo self loved this song. Living through the 1970's music era as a child and then a pre-teen, this song was so different from anything I had ever heard before.
Very strange song. The drums never change once. That’s why it’s hypnotic. If you think about it, the other instruments all sound like they’re playing a different song but it works.
@@amrak5028 the Knack had a couple good songs, but the album wasn't great overall. The Cars and Police had albums where every single song was great. My favorite Police songs are deep cuts- Murder By Numbers, Jaurais Toujours Faim de toi, Man in the Suitcase, Peanuts, it's Alright For You, Tea in the Sahara etc. Same thing with the Cars - I'm obsessed with CandyO, love " it's all I can do", even the ultra weird stuff like " shoo-be-doo". Breakaway is a good Cars b-side, that got a little radioplay
This song came out in 1979, and was kind of a mashup of the 70's sound with the guitar, and the 80's sound with that beat. It was really a transitional song from the 70's to the 80's sound that we're all familiar with.
Imagine going from hearing disco all over the radio for a solid 3 years, then this came out. It might as well have been from outer space, it was so different.
you're doing the right thing if you're driving 200 on the Autobahn on a Saturday night and you hear this song. There are very few songs that are well suited to driving a car - this is one of them
I don't care what anyone says, this is a classic tune! Love it!
Same!
No doubt. .Kicks ass
Why would anyone say anything other than it’s a classic cut ?… then they would reveal themselves as a philistine which would entail me farting in their general direction … so best for them to just go along with us ! 🤣

Indeed it is
100%
The drummer is a human metronome. He’s absolutely incredible. Always loved this song
I always thought he looked like Kevin McHale from the Boston Celtics in this video.
Well damn now I can’t unsee that! Lol. I loved Kevin back in the day!
He's Luigi Salvoni, and the backing singer is Noel McCalla
You’re a foxy lady…
OMG yes...been playing drums over 40 years...and either speed up or drag while trying to play this...
A classic! I taped over my moms Bible study cassettes and recorded this off the radio when i was 12.
Hallelujah!

Hopefully she learned a worthy lesson.

Really cool that you guys did this one. It seems to have escaped the notice of a lot of people who otherwise love the 80s.
It's late seventies, and was overshadowed at the time in the UK by the new wave explosion.

Definitely should have been #1, I remember being pissed that it didn't 😂
Love this song. Just discovered it recently and I'm 52 and a rock fan. It did sound familiar though
Great song! It has it's own unique sound that I always liked.
What's amazing is that the drummer holds this perfect 4/4 beat continuously through the whole song!
one of the coolest songs of the 70's
Finally! This song is just so awesome. Always reminds me of driving at night, on a trip to some new place, some new adventure. Thanks!

I had this song on a K-Tel album back in the day. Never ever heard it on the radio. But it's still one of my all-time favorites.
This was actually released in 1978, and charted in 1979. This was in league with bands like The Knack, Greg Kihn Band. Tommy Tutone and The Tubes.
For me, this song is inextricably linked to the film Boogie Nights. A hidden gem from the 70s. I think it’s the “Colonel’s” theme song from that pic.
Love this smash from 1978. Has always been on my playlist.
One of the songs that told this 14 year old in 1979 that something new was coming for music. Great vibe! ❤

Man takes me back to being a sixteen-year-old kid back in 1979 and skating to this song at the skating ring along with all the other great hits we had back then
Awesome, now Donny Iris - Ah Leah. Donny turn 80 this year and still rocks it.
Great tune.
"Welcome everyone to Coast To Coast. I'm Art Bell...and our first guest is...well...when discussing UFO's hes a bit on an unusual trail."
I have been waiting for this ride. Thank You
This sound is power pop late 70s, which has its own sound and often gets overlooked or lumped into the 80s. Other examples would be Hot Child in the City by Nick Gilder, Magnet and Steel by Walter Egan and Gold by John Stewart.
It truly was a transitional sound and one of my very favorite sounds of the late 70s.
If you want another pure 80s sound, that's actually from 1979, try " walking in the rain" by Flash and the Pan
Or Drugs in my pocket by the Monks
Lol I didn't think anyone else on the planet knew walking in the rain 😂
@@reedhensley it was so futuristic, you could mix it in current top 40, and it wouldn't sound that out of place lol
@@reedhensley bought the album for St Peter, but Rain was wayyyy better
Love that song, Listen to the album still, it's in the collection!@@reedhensley
Wow, someone reacted to Driver's Seat. A "K-Tell standard." Anyone remember "The Rock Album"? That was a good one. Thanx guys. Love ya. Peace.
The production of this song is top-notch. Layer after layer of sonic greatness as the song progresses. A one-of-a-kind song that I will never tire of listening to.
I don't think it was "Sniffin' The Tears". I believe it was "Sniff 'N The Tears" (with the "N" replacing the "And"). But I could be wrong. One of my favorite tunes from 1979. Too bad they didn't have anything else that made it to the top 40!
My favorite song of my late high school period. Released my junior year. To listen to this song while driving at night at that time and what it evokes and still does is beyond words. It is the number one nostalgic song of my late teen period.
Amen.
Yes!
Since y’all are intrigued by band names, “Crash Test Dummies” are a Canadian folk/rock group with a unique sound. A good start would be “Afternoons and Coffee Spoons” with a fun video!!!
Great tune guys! I think that you're gonna love it, I know I did when it came out! Enjoy! ✌🇨🇦♥️
"Flash and the Pan" another band around this time with "Hey St. Peter". I had both albums. The brother of ACDC brothers Angus and Malcomn Young.
This is an absolutely awesome song to drive to, especially at night. Great pick and great reaction guys, thanks!
The band name is read as Sniff and the Tears, not Sniffing the Tears. More like Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band...or my favorite Buster Hymen and the Youngbloods.
In the summer of 1979, my 12 yo self loved this song. Living through the 1970's music era as a child and then a pre-teen, this song was so different from anything I had ever heard before.
Im an old interstate truck driver and back in the early 80s this was one of the songs that just got you cruzin on the yesteryear speed. Ha woooosh.
Wow. Another that's not been played near enough these days. Love the chorus. Thanks.
Aw, NICE one! This 'n' The Pretenders 'n' The Jam 'n' The Police 'n' Madness... what a time :)
Very strange song. The drums never change once. That’s why it’s hypnotic. If you think about it, the other instruments all sound like they’re playing a different song but it works.
L.A. Salami "I Wear This Because Life Is War!" & "I Can't Slow Her Down"
Love this song, bought the full album, but couldn't get into it
I was with you here Dawn. The Knack was the same, The Cars, & The Police we did dig.
@@amrak5028 the Knack had a couple good songs, but the album wasn't great overall. The Cars and Police had albums where every single song was great. My favorite Police songs are deep cuts- Murder By Numbers, Jaurais Toujours Faim de toi, Man in the Suitcase, Peanuts, it's Alright For You, Tea in the Sahara etc. Same thing with the Cars - I'm obsessed with CandyO, love " it's all I can do", even the ultra weird stuff like " shoo-be-doo". Breakaway is a good Cars b-side, that got a little radioplay
@@dawnpatrol700 Our tastes are similar. i have caught many of your comments in chat. Good to know you. Andy
@@amrak5028 thank you, I live and breathe music.

Here is one for you!! Band String driven thing !! Take me to the circus. Hope you will play it an give your feedback.
Can’t drive slow when this song comes on!!🤘🔥
Yes. I'm that old that I remember that this song was high for several weeks on the charts. This was my favorite song back in the day.
Great song! One of a kind.
I have a cool 80's band Killing Joke-Love Like Blood. These guys have a cult following.
“1978” was an excellent year for music… even the 1 hit wonders were bangers 🔥❤️🎸
I think 78 and 79 were music's best years.
some serious new wave and rock ‘n’ roll to counteract the disco going on
totaly AGREA
This song came out in 1979, and was kind of a mashup of the 70's sound with the guitar, and the 80's sound with that beat. It was really a transitional song from the 70's to the 80's sound that we're all familiar with.
A great one hit wonder 👌
FYI, it's Sniff (I'm about to cry) N (now here come) the Tears. Not sniffing the tears to see what they smell like. 😄
From 1976 - Billy Joel with Angry Young Man - Listen to the live version so you can see him play the piano on this one.
this is played on boogie nights ( movie )
The Blackbyrds "Walking In Rhythm"
You should definitely check out the Zebra song " Who's Behind the Door"
Caesars Palace - Jerk It Out (Official Video)👍👍👍
Vangelis - "Chariots Of Fire" (maybe one day the curiousity will get to them ?)
Put this one on loop when it's raining out. The backup guy went on to sing lead for Manfred Mann. Very cool song.
Gosh, forgot about this one! Thanks for reviving an old memory!
Pomplamoose "If You Think You Need Some Lovin"
I still play this song at least weekly… along with This Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide by the Kings!
Imagine going from hearing disco all over the radio for a solid 3 years, then this came out. It might as well have been from outer space, it was so different.
you're doing the right thing if you're driving 200 on the Autobahn on a Saturday night and you hear this song.
There are very few songs that are well suited to driving a car - this is one of them
A little jiving on a Saturday night.
Pick up your feet.
You need to hear Amber by 311
The Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays"
Drummer is focused! High hat, snare and bass drum...that is all he needs
