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.

🙌🔊

😊

Good music like this is timeless. ⏲️ ⏳️

To @sjqnes9984: 🙋‍♀️65 years old and still groovin’ to this great song!!!

🙌🏻

I 2nd that motion....

I will third that!!!

Born in 1965 I still love it.

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😊😊😊

I was there when it came out

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..........

And the same to you Butch, love and hugs from down under in Australia.

Back atcha Butch!! :)

Best wishes Butch.

❤❤😢

My heart goes out for people in your shoes. All I can say is lots of vitamin C. Wishing you the Very best, my friend.

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

@erinwright3351 Your a good soul Erin. I'm hoping for the best.

i hope and expect to but 2025 Trump leaves me sure of nothing

STFU with this question.

Yesss

FTSOB

Couldn’t agree more.. absolutely incredible 👏🏻👏🏻

I don't care if it's old.. old is gold.

😊

I have the album, spinning it!!!

Come listen again.

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! 😁

@@HighlanderNorth1 Wow, thanks so much, I'm gonna go listen to them! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍

@@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!⬇️ ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gGOHqWN8nI-iwKs.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 was eleven years old. But knew good music. Still do. Yeah

I am 68 years young and I still listen to this music TODAY while I am in the "Driver's Seat" with my GF. (wink wink)

Hi, I´m 55 and stil enjoy this music, a lot better than a modern urban music. Regards.

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?

You grew up in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s?

That's what's up that's really cool people look at me like I'm crazy I don't care I love it

We danced our asses off to this as well! My wife's bum became even more attractive after we danced to this another 20 times....Great times!!

Wow! I remember that night! I was there watching you dance. Btw - I'm watching you now...

Nice one mate

Right On! Like we used to say.

That was an excellent time to be a teenager!

Bless you.

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 :)

How old are you?

So sorry to hear 😢 I pray 🙏 you find some comfort listening to great music 😘

I said a prayer for you, Steve.

I dunno - "What Can Daddy Do" is pretty damn epic, too. It just never got a fair shake on-air.

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

Same age and I get it

Been married for 52 years. Still love this!! My wife loves Motown. Can't win them all!!

@@glennkamp4645 one of the most iconic basslines

I respect your comment. It's harder than it looks to stay in the pocket like that. Ringo knows.

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..🤔

Real cool tune tht never gets old!

Right here

63 yo & still listening. So thankful all the concerts & bars in my younger days didn't blow out my hearing.

Whatever happened to the backup vocalist? Ali Kennon. Can't find any info on his music after this song. Anyone please.

UKposts music is my time machine!

UKposts is a time machine, you idiot.

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.

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.

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 ❤❤

Hell yeah!!! 🥃🥃🥃🥃

That's rough, man.

59 in August. Pretty welcome! A prayer for your friend!

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.

Love this❤❤❤

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!

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! 💕

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.

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.

Ky here also western

@@mikesantoro6589 Yeah man!!

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 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 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.

Songs are the best thing to show yourself how you are getting older....

@Busta Speeker ??????? What on earth you talking about? 🤔

Well said, man ❤

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!

tell me about it..im 60

Yep!!

I so agree with you ☺️

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.

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.

Love it when does the "Yeah" at 2:39 during the chorus.

It's been about 44 years for me. I want it played at my wake some day, off in the far distant future.

Tout à fait d'accord; cette chanson me transporte. Bisous de France

Yeah, that drummer is like kosher meat: no fillers. 😂

Jennie was sweet, man what a song, Driver Seat so many memories.

I went to the record store and got this on 45 and went home and played it on my record player.

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!

​@@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.

@@mickywinters8451 - Difference is, you didn't get paid for this part or get to be in the video, lmao.

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 :)

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

One of those songs that are best played way too loud.

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.
