Right on ,Right on
boogie nights
🐲💯💥🎆👍🤑🐉😁
Me too❤😢Summer1978,geil
damn that comment made my evening...respect bro!!!
Good music always endures.
Always...
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."
This song is a Masterpiece
Why ?
,... 'cos it' s SOOOOOOOOOOOO driving, buddy 😊! BERNIE GERMANY ❤
@@earth7551 , c'était quand même très bon !
@@earth7551because.

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..."
Ahead of it's time
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.
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
Thanks for the music Art Bell.
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
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.
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.
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
We were listening to this song in the late 70’s.
One of the most underrated gems of 70's music.😎👍
The drums, the melody, the rock.
Yea they all ROCK together
the guitar .
Way ahead of its time. And this time....
it’s so hip to feel free w/o a care in a world so crazy , let’s gooooo
Yes.....including when going on 60....etc 🤘🤟
This song is a masterpiece ❤
It is Kult
Many years later I’m still loving this song.
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
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.
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
Since 3 Years I listen to this I’ve Finally Found Hope and Taste of Rock N Roll
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.
44 years and counting. 2024!!!
1979 I'm 17, driving my 69 Camaro with a Blaupunkt stereo BLASTING this song through 4 open windows, turning heads in every direction.
It was GREAT to be a kid back then, going through girlfriends like most guys go through socks.😂
What ya been doing since then?
@@ozzyistheking21 same thing 😅
Pathetic that at your age, you still think using women like socks is cool.
@@Paparoach493 Was 18 had a '70 Nova with a 427 Yenko. Burnin' up the roads.
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!!!!!!
The very definition of a musical groove.
so true even 8 years later :D
It captures the era.
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
Agree with your comment 100%.
well put
it was a world of no cell phones and internet just us and our tube radios
I was so glad when Boogie Nights reintroduced this classic to a new generation
The instrumentation is so perfect on this. Acoustic and electric guitar, synth, electric piano, and that relentless drumbeat.
Wonderful song ! For ever, yeah.....
Music like this will never be forgotten it’s just too good. 👍
This song holds a very special place in my heart because of a dream I had about a decade ago. I was driving my dad's 76 Olds Cutlass on a deserted highway. It was night time. My brother Jaime is in the passenger seat. On the horizon I could see the road angled straight up to the sky. Next thing I know we are up above the clouds and my brother and I were pumping our fists in the air having the time of our lives while this song played on the car radio. My favourite dream.. it replays in my mind so vividly and this song was the music track to that dream. It will forever remind me of my brother whenever I hear it. He left us this past March. I miss him so fkn much! Amazing piece of music. No idea why it was the song playing on the car radio in my dream but it was the perfect choice. ~Til' we meet again, my brother, I'll be missing you
the "professor of rock" brought me here in search of this classics ...real music... with real musicians...a real classic!
Hadn't heard this song in years until that recent Amazon commercial, my ears instantly perked up when I heard these familiar riffs. What a great jam.
me too
This song reminds me when I was onnocent thinking only about better days coming
Just heard it right now too!
That is precisely why I am here too!
same with me, saw the commercial got the guitar, had to go to youtube and listen, great song :)
Band album covers in the 70s and 80s were so awesome...like exquisite works of art.
I am 60 and I have always loved this song
August 1979. The last month of a great summer of music!!!
It was warm in September here!😂
High school Spring Break 79' .... 25 of us seniors went skiing at Sugarbush ... they played this song all week!
. . . born at 1960 , feel wenn hear this song i am a teen 😊💥
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.
Hypnotic and dazzling and intense, a one hit wonder of one hit wonder songs.
Man this song randomly came on as I was driving across Denmark to fix bridge scales. Just me, my Mercedes Citan and this song as I’m making my way and commuting to my destination!
That was a good and meaningful full day at work!
I’m not a big billionaire, I’m not a sports star, I’m not a great artist, I’m just a normal guy working as a technician and this song felt like a good theme song for this normal job that suddenly became a journey because of this song!
Oh wow! A flood of memories. Junior high dances. On the car radio on family outings. Blasting my first car’s stereo. Oh, man!
THIS IS THE MOST GENUIS SONG I"VE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!
First time hearing this, wow, can't believe I never heard this before. Born in 86
One of the great tracks when I was 12 years old. Soon I will be 54,and I still love this track 👍
I graduated high school in '79 and just rediscovered this gem in June 2024!
Man, I miss the 70’s!
Never gets old
This is definitely one of my favorites from the 70's.
When this played in 'Boogie Nights"...my life changed forever. Greatest one hit wonder EVER
This drummer is a human machine...long gone theses days
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!
Still enjoying in 2020! And we keep going on!
This song immediately transports me to adolescence...
Ahhhh the 70’s !
Living the life !
I had the 45!! Love this tune❤!!
If only today’s music would be this good
Love how this pops up in everyone's feed.
Driving my 280z down South Main, West Hartford, CT. on a Saturday night, back in the day. Best driving song!
Where is this? 👍🏴

I was born in 1972. My Dad had stacks of records. He was a drag racer and had a pro machine shop. He'd come home from work every night and play records and we would dance. To me this song personifies him. Driving, work so you can race at the drag strip, music, repeat.
1979 moving from little old city I grew up in to Houston,Tx.....such a long long time ago it seems.
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!!!
Memories of when I was little, riding in the backseat, up the 5, from SoCal to WA. ❤
You're missed a lot!! 🙂👍🏴
What a kitsch sleeve, he (the singer) was self educated artist. Loved this song in 1978, still like it.
I never get sick of listening to this tune!!!
This is one of my favorite hits for anytime, day or night. 1968 was a good year to be born.
Special Day!!! Listening to this song makes me wanna take Sunset my car and drive to the horizon and keep drivin for ever....
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?
The 70s, I would never go back there. And I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I just realized that the repetitiveness of the drum beat resembles the visuals of driving on the highway with the stripes on the street and the sideposts constantly going by in their own rhythm, never changing until the journey is complete. good stuff!
One of those songs that just Rocks in and Rocks on forever !
Simple answer “MASTERPIECE”
This song made it to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early fall of 1979.
It takes me back to a Time in my Life, when thing were New and Optimism was Everywhere....
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
That hit on the snare drum is so iconic and so powerful
My favorite music of all time, here is a Paraguayan listening to it this Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 11 pm driving down 5th Avenue of New York, priceless.
I am 67 years old and first heard this in 1979 when living in San Francisco California. Seen the video hundreds of times.
This song is ridiculously due for a revival.
It's a timeless piece that doesn't get stale with the passage of time because it can't really be pigeonholed into any particular style or time period. Sure, it was recorded in the late 1970s but it could have been recorded anytime between then and now and it wouldn't seem dated or out of place. Luckily, some of us were old enough to remember when it was released and played on the radio for the first time. We're TRULY BLESSED in that regard. THANK YOU LORD.
There is a phenomenal 12 song playlist of Sniff n the Tears someone put up on UA-cam
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 ❤😊🎉
A great tune from the '70's. Step back and listen.
I'm old. Remember this being a new song on the radio back in 1979/80
I’m old and I was BORN in 1979 😅 I guess great times are timeless 🤷🏼♂️ I love this song.
@@iainsutherland1113 I was born in 1971...
Best song ever!!! This is what real music sounds like!
YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC
Heard this on the radio the other day. It’s been decades! Brought back memories of being a little kid in the late 70’s early 80’s growing up in my small industrial town in the Midwest. Didn’t have a care in the world. Miss those days. Great song.
What a great hook - beginning with the pick making first contact with the strings on that guitar. This late 1970s/early 1980s Power Pop at its best. Likewise for The Smithereens and The Plimsouls. This is what a lot of danced to; and cruised to; back in Summer 1979.
The harmonies were perfect and the guitar work was impressive.
still gives me chills hearing this song. Just love one hit wonders!
Listening to this in a random Sunday morning is such a bless
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)?
A radio staple of my high school years, still sounds good.

This amazing song holds up 44 years after its release. It could still be a hit today.
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.
In the 70's we had a two hour drive to the rig. Our driller played this while we flew down a desert highway, drinking and smoking, like we'd live forever, and never die.
back in the day....
This was suggested after listening to A horse with no name by America. I was only very young when both came out but I remember them both word for word. Classics.
These guys are badass,Sniff N the tears belongs in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
So timeless song! The drive and energy compete and wins over modern songs!
