It's the Summer of 1979 again!!!
Right on ,Right on
boogie nights
🐲💯💥🎆👍🤑🐉😁
Me too❤😢Summer1978,geil
damn that comment made my evening...respect bro!!!
I used to listen to this song late at night on an AM radio station when I was a little girl. Listening to it after so many years is like finding a long lost friend.
Coast to Coast?
Sounds so much better in stereo though.
@@MisterMikeTexas àaaaàà
@@grindcoreninja6527 When Art died, for many of us, it was like losing an old friend. RIP Art Bell.
Takes me back to when i was young and alone, with this playing many a time keeping me company...
This song captures the mood of what it felt like to be in your late teens early 20s in the late 70s.
Driving down a highway, wind in you hair, music blaring........those were the days, weren't they ?
@@annwilson6606 Absolutely!
1980.. I was 16 in my 1st car. This song was a blast! Freedom!
I wish i grew up in the 70s or 80s. i was born in the early 90s, Family always listened to old rock from the 70s and 80s, ect. The 70s always seemed so happy, i always think of stuff i should of done in high school, awh to go back lol. I never heard this song before until it popped up in my playlist lol fell in love 1 second in.
@@Paparoach493 The vibe was
" Hey, it's cool. Whatever you're into, go for it."
Who's listening to this Gem in 2024? I Am..😎
Amazing I found someone that n 2024 who listens to this
@@Heisenberg573 lol 😎
No coincidences
Yo ahora mismo
Somehow here.
Captures the spirit of the late 1970s.
I can dig that sentiment dude.
And the early 80's too.
Song is from 1979.
as a avid listener to coast to coast am this was one of Art Bell's favorite songs I remember listening to him play it I really loved from their on
@@jamesbarnes4227 art bell was the man, "from the kingdom of nye" Great show I remember Abba and that song some velvet morning also.
Personal Trivia you likely don't care about: I saw this band in June 1979 in West Berlin at a concert called British Rock Meeting, headlined by a band called Barkley James Harvest also featuring Dire Straits and several other bands. I was an exchange student with a group of American and German kids. After they played this song we all said, "That was really a GREAT song!" I still think that 43 years later.
i don’t think that i found this song, i think this song found me
Sometimes happens, you find a song that you suddenly understand because it’s about where you are, hope it helps.
Well n' beautifuly said...
In my opinion you've got taste too!😉
Kisses from France and take care 😘
same :))
Lol
This song found me twice
This song is a Masterpiece
Why ?
,... 'cos it' s SOOOOOOOOOOOO driving, buddy 😊! BERNIE GERMANY ❤
@@earth7551 , c'était quand même très bon !
Far ahead of the genre they sprang from, this song is an utter gem. This track manages to combine classic rock (post the disco explosion) with the increasingly popular sound of post-punk and early synth-driven bands... Magazine, The Fixx, Fischer-Z, a drop of Tom Petty, Al Stewart... it's all there, wrapped in a great arrangement.
@Evan Hodge Lol, that is funny 😁Seriously though mate, I hope you can appreciate the little joys in life, such as a well-arranged, somewhat evocative song... which is more than the crap that passes for music we're bombarded with now... and no, I'm not 'in marketing'... just a gigging musician who can still recognise a decent song.
I love it when it comes on in " Boogie Nights "
huge dylan / hendrix influence too
And I was thinking prog too with that Moog solo at the end. Sounds like Camel
It's just a song. You are overthinking it.
This has to be one of the coolest songs of all time!!!
Yep, along with Boys of Summer by Don Henley and Ventura Highway by America.
That was the intention, I suspect.
Lunatic fringe by red rider is really cool too
No, but it's definitely a top 10
Red Barchetta by Rush
Only thing bad about this song is that it ended.
true words
there is a 12" version that is almost 6 mins ;)
This song throws me back to my youth😀 I was 16y. Now I am 62y.
Time flies. And this song lasts forever!!! Great song👍🏻👍🏻
Same here🙂
Same as me 3 trackz to our child hood
We enjoyed a pleasant youth with a lot of good musics ! Unfortunately as said George Harrison, "All things must pass..."
Listening to this song makes me want to get in my car and just drive...anywhere :)
+Anthony Perez (A. Perez Voyages) Do it man :) It's boss :)
+Anthony Perez (A. Perez Voyages) Song has nothing to do with driving a car.It say little jivin on a Saturday night.
Dude , there are a lot of songs that don't have to do with driving but it sound good on a road trip.
dennis black
It's the type of song that makes you want to go have a nice drive somewhere. Which most folk will agree on. I know what the lyrics are. That's the feel that you get from the toon maan ;) Cheers.
Perfect highway jam

A very underrated song. This is a great song. The lyrics, the arrangement, and the lead vocal are all in sync with each other. Love this song.
Such an unusual, unique song that stopped me in my tracks when it first came out. Good positive lyrics and fab lead guitar solo at the end to top it off. GREAT song that never ages.
It makes me want to be alive
Love the drumming too. Doesn't speed up, doesn't slow down. Steady.
Agree with your comment 100%.
well put
it was a world of no cell phones and internet just us and our tube radios
My wife died recently. This song lately makes me think of her. Gawd, it hurts so bad..
+TheBigjohn527 so sorry bro, i pray you know comfort
+TheBigjohn527 So sorry! Very sad.
So sorry man
My wife died nearly two years ago. This was one of our favorite songs. I will never forget dancing to this song at the end of a party at Boston University, when we were the only ones left on the dance floor. It is one of the memories that I cherish, that take me back to better days. At first, it hurt so bad to hear special songs like this one, But now they somehow comfort me, when I realize how thankful I am that we shared 36 wonderful years together.
Life will never be the same, and I don't think the hurt and pain will ever go away. But life does go on. I hope you find comfort, and learn to rediscover and cherish the music that you shared.
bless your heart
"Driver's Seat"
Doing all right
A little driving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away
Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life
The news is blue (the news is blue)
It has its own way to get to you (ooh)
What can I do? (What can I do?)
I'll never remember my time with you
Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the driver's seat
Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
We're doing all right (ooh)
A little driving on a Saturday night (yeah)
And come what may (ooh)
Gonna dance the day away (yeah)

Driver's seat
It’s ‘a little Jiving’. Clever choice of words. Driving/jiving. I thought it was driving too.
@@diegopalazzo1761 Man that's a shocker. Makes sense though, we need to Jive while we drive. Thanks for that, blessings.
Dude it’s a great song. I can’t stop playing it. It’s simple on the guitar, Am G F all the way through. Legend
@@diegopalazzo1761 That's cool that you know how to play. Soon there will be "15 million fingers learning how to play". Hopefully mine will be 10 of them.
On the cd we had at home it always jumped when he said trouble and strife. So now whenever I hear it I hear tttrrrouble and strife still all these years later
The perfect cross of the bluesy power of Dire Straits and the hooky new wave of the Cars, both of whom were huge in 1979.
Ok I'll cop that...
Yeah, you are right about that.
True , my friend
Yeah Paul and Mark even shared a receding hairline and an educated wit .
Try comparing them to this instead of this to them!!!!!!
Just graduated from university, summer 79, I was leaving England to come to America, and this song just felt awesome
Rock on!
when the possibilities felt endless
The instrumentation is so perfect on this. Acoustic and electric guitar, synth, electric piano, and that relentless drumbeat.
Wonderful song ! For ever, yeah.....
This band could only be a one hit wonder because this song has more innovation than most albums or catalogs.
More than my pet fish - Eric!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I concur.
The entire album is great too!!
song is so singular. while at the same time you could pick out each parts influence that came before
Music like this will never be forgotten it’s just too good. 👍
44 years and counting. 2024!!!
Still enjoying in 2020! And we keep going on!
The drums, the melody, the rock.
Yea they all ROCK together
the guitar .
Many years later I’m still loving this song.
Very awesome guitar riff and solo. One of the best rock songs of the 70s.
HandyAndy Tech Tips it's from the 90's...
Pieterjan Tilleman It was actually released in 1979, but it became quite popular in the Netherlands in 1991 after it was used in a Pioneer ad.
ok my bad
+HandyAndy Tech Tips Definitely.. He's an excellent guitarrist on the whole lp. That solo on Driver's Seat was quite unconventional and I always loved the way the guitar and keyboard trade off so smoothly.
HandyAndy Tech Tips yes definitely.bad ass song love it.
To Linda. Summer '79,, after skating let's go get a hamburger. I will drive you around town in my dark green Chevy Malibu. You are sweet, I truly respect ,,, God bless. ,, I misplace that ring,, it's between the front seats.
Band album covers in the 70s and 80s were so awesome...like exquisite works of art.
As a 22 year old I can say it gives me such Nostalgia to an Era my Eyes have Never Seen.
Miguel R be my friend!
Doesnt even make sense
@@AllCal530 It does, I thought I was the only one having this feeling
same but im 21
We missed it by such a small margin
The very definition of a musical groove.
so true even 8 years later :D
Tengo 64 años y cuando limpiaba el coche de mi padre,escuché en la radio este tema y hasta que pude saber el nombre del grupo,lo encontré en casette ,y aún sigo escuchándolos,me encantan,saludos a todos sus seguidores desde Málaga,
Genial tu experiencia 👍
One of the great tracks when I was 12 years old. Soon I will be 54,and I still love this track 👍
As a musician, this is one of my favorite songs to play. I love the guitar parts in it. Not to mention those great keyboard/synth parts.
I recently heard this song playing in the background of a movie. I was a kid in the 70's. I think it was on an
8 track. Can't be sure. Still a HOT SONG
@@mzhyde2887 This song is forty-five years old now, and it hasn't lost anything in all those years. I was a young musician back then learning to play guitar and bass after becoming accomplished on the cello and trombone. Songs like this are simple, yet multi-layered, and really fun to learn.
It is still a HOT SONG for sure!!!
If I’m not mistaken, this song was in Boogie Nights
This really takes me back. I had just turned 18 and in '79 that was the legal drinking age. Hitting all the local clubs, proud to show my ID at the door. I was just at the threshold of adulthood and had my whole life ahead of me! Seems like it was yesterday. Love this song and the cool memories it brings back!
is this the greatest ever driving song.?
+wagbelt HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRIVING A CAR. LOOK IT UP.
+wagbelt Best driving song for me is Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp
Best for driving round town (on a Saturday night), best driving song for letting rip on the open highway in a V8 is Saxon "Wheels of Steel".
Yes, but the longer version of this song is better. The only thing the longer version doesn't have is all of the "cool bleep sounds", otherwise it's a better version of the song.
Yes it could be the best driving song. I like golden ear ring. Last car 2 pass
We were listening to this song in the late 70’s.
I was given this song for my day message. Born 5th July 1960. Soon to become 60.... I have to tell all, I have never felt better. Strong body, sharp mind and Blessed by The Almighty.
Now to get in the Driver's seat and finish this game.
I am in this for only one thing and one thing only...
I LOVE HUMANITY......
💚💚💚
Rock on buddy
If I had to pick a song from my high school years that made me go into a flashback, this would be it . . . great tune.
My Sharona or Good Girls Don't (But I Do)?
"Untroubled by strife,
she had another way of looking at life..."
Untroubled by strife,
she had another way
of looking at life
Funny enough, my wife is named Jennie. We're blessed to have eachother. She's taking her pregnancy test today 😁 wish me luck everyone. I just got this on my recommended.
What happened brother?
What's the news!?
So cute
Well, she's been having the beginning symptoms, and it's too early to tell, but I will keep you all posted. She's been having strong symptoms. If it's a girl, her name will be Jensen, if a boy, his name will be Kirk Jr, John, or Hosea.
@@BoltofTalons those are good names
Really great feeling with a haunting vocal overlaid on a simple, insistent rhythm track plus excellent guitar riffs. Truly cool song!
August 1979. The last month of a great summer of music!!!

Time travel?
...and beyond
God willing! 😂
Hypnotic and dazzling and intense, a one hit wonder of one hit wonder songs.
Good music always endures.
Always...
Thanks for the music Art Bell.
Great song.
It’s got this warm electric feeling that makes it stand out.
This song will snap you out of a depression. In 1989 I was coping with post-university-graduation depression. I found a record with this song which I'd half-remembered from back in the day. Playing it gave me a real lift--it'll do the same for you!
"There must be some way out of here, said the Joker to the Thief..."
Lol😂😂😂Jimi Hendrix
Vandal King I know you’re saying this just to be inflammatory. It’s not gonna work.
@@Engelfinger I actually think this song isn't a Jimi Hendrix ripoff. Just had to write that down.
Brother Dylan!
@@nedtheproducer5777 😂😂😂
The backing vocals are just brilliant!
Absolutely PERFECTION..!
You mean like how they keep saying "yeah." as though someone asked them a question and they are replying in the affirmative?
One of the most underrated gems of 70's music.😎👍
I am almost certain I was conceived to this song!
Today I turn 47. This song started my day
Happy Birthday🎂🍥🎊🎉
WTF is with all these children saying "Oh. The walking dead brought me here" Wow... I'm proud to say that I first heard this song in the movie "Boogie Nights"
Fuckin' A!
THE COLONEL!
***** Oh FUCK OFF!!! and let him type any way he wants to. It's called freedom of speech.
My dad used to listen to this on vinyl when i was just a kid! Way before boogie nights
I heard it on Boogie Nights too. Class film.
IntoTheMindlessAbyss And I'm even prouder to say I grew up with it. See how that works. Though boogie nights is my favourite movie of all time.
OMG... this song brings so many memories... it gives me goosebumps! 💜
Never thought i would hear this on the radio again until i was driving through South Dakota in the middle of nowhere and this came on 😂
I hear it all the time on viewer sponsored radio.
My parents would play this when we went on car trips back in the '80s. Couldn't give a fuckin' rat's arse that some TV show de jour used it! Just enjoy it for what it is.
My older brother taking me to the rope swing way out off of Highway 84 in the late 70's, I miss that, we had fun.
still gives me chills hearing this song. Just love one hit wonders!
I'm nostalgic for a place that hasn't existed in decades
Boogie nights anyone?
Let's do some Columbian marching powder and go for a LONG night ride! See ya in LA
I never get sick of listening to this tune!!!
Best song ever!!! This is what real music sounds like!
YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC
Who's here because of the Amazon commercial. And who here because they have great taste in music.
utube is a great way to get lost in music.
This is one of those very rare songs thats perfect from start to finish. My opinion of course ;)
Mine, too!
I concur, good sir.
Damn, listen to more music, there's tons of perfect songs haha!
That there, is a masterpiece..
For sure dude.
SO RIGHT
💯
This song randomly showed up in my recommendations and I've never heard it before just now. This song is amazing!
Boogie Nights anyone?
another good driving song
The harmonies were perfect and the guitar work was impressive.
Young people now have no idea what it was like growing up in the 60's and 70's with all of our freedoms.
I can only dream of it. I feel like I was born in the wrong time sometimes
I don't remember any freedoms other than it was easier to be racist or a bigot.
Amen to that brother!
@@scottlarson1548 It’s more that it felt free relatively. The 60s and 70s had freedoms that weren’t even conceivable in the 30s, 40s and 50s, especially with the Great Depression, then World War 2.
Freedoms today are probably going backwards. The 90s and 2000s were probably more free than the 2010s or 2020s so far, especially with more controlling governments, the power of the internet, media, cultural controls etc.
@@XxxULTIMATEZxxX So you think the Internet made people *less* free? And that the media didn't exist previously?
No other song takes me back to that year and era as much as this gem. It was my high school graduation year and the best summer of my life. It is as fresh each time I hear as the first time. Words are not adequate to describe how transcendent it is. If I could only go back.
Wonderful song ... I love it
boogie Nights baby!
I found this song on the PBS show Carrier. They played this song when they launched the planes of the carrier. I just had to find this song this was pre SoundHound.
So timeless song! The drive and energy compete and wins over modern songs!
My all time favourite 💐💐🎉🎉🎉🎉
Memories of when I was little, riding in the backseat, up the 5, from SoCal to WA. ❤
You're missed a lot!! 🙂👍🏴
How is this not in a Tarantino movie ?
Enough with that tortellini!!!
Check out Boogie Nights
It's coming saving the best for last, can you imajine the scene!! 😉
Because he sucks
@Oopsie Doopsie I've seen his movies and honestly they're not too bad but some of them are boring such as Death Proof and "Reservoir dogs"
This song made it to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early fall of 1979.
Esta canción es atemporal,por más que pase el tiempo suena genial 🎉🎉
Muy bueno, muy excellente, tiene cajones grandes.
That moment you find a song you haven’t been able to remember for years, popping up in your recommended. I couldn’t remember the tune or any lyrics. The only thing I could remember was the artwork on the record and as soon as I seen the thumbnail, a little bit of excitement wee accidentally came out.
As a teenager in the 70's from my perspective it was the best time to be alive, the music, the fashion, the dance moves....it brought all of us together in a way no other era has, anytime I break out my yearbooks I can't help but feel an overwhelming desire to return there. If they built a time machine I would return there for a month and tell my 70's self have the nerve to kiss Sandra Redman and tell her how you feel. I would go and talk to my family and tell my brothers and sister to love, respect and support each other. I would go to some concerts in California and fly to England to see my ex-girlfriend Alison before her second marriage and make love to her.
you did not have to go to CA for awsome concerts, but CA women are like no other
ERROR, BUDDY ~ ASIAN GIRLS ARE TOP NOTCH ❤🎉😊!!! BERNIE GERMANY BOLLYWOOD LOVER ❤😊🎉
Who’s listening to this gem in 3481?
Were they able not to 1066?!!$
I try to listen to this once a month. The "singer/songwriter" connection that flourished when I was ....not so old. in the 90's was replaced by mass production industry crud in the 205 era. Jc and Beyonce have done a lot for the industry but not much for the art of music
Don't worry buddy, there's plenty of the younger generation that appreciate good music. Only now we have the technology to access decades of it. Modern Chart music isn't really relevant to most people 20+
Fabulous Extended Play record. I had a German version - with the misprinted title "Driver's Sears".
I want my 400 LPs back, Phillip Hansen!
Who else is here because of Boogie Nights?
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
. stunning masterpiece
... 1 from the most important songs in my life ...
❤️
This song still generates the same energy it did 40 years ago, awesome sound and unique as a cat with gold eyes!
R.I.P. Steve Wright...
The movie No Hard Feelings brought how many here?
Not me
Used to great effect in _Boogie Nights_ when Philip Baker Hall enters the party. Rest in peace, Phil.
Damn this is my song, decades later, every damn year, never gets old , shit
Just need a strong sound system in the car to drive and enjoy this epic song
It's just a priceless song!
