Wow, I went to A school in February 79. Heavy Equipment Operator got stationed in transportation at the A school and then went into 74 . Got out in 83. Lucky I did 9 months in the Philippines and almost a year total in PR.
Very nice begenning story...the girl look amazing...is it the girl in that vidéo...and die much to young ! Ouf sad...but yes after all these years God make you serene. Kind of réalise the car driver is to modern to be her driving ...and all the cars on the highway
18 when this came out! Had a 68 charger for my first car and just out of high school ! Driving around with my girlfriend at the time and having a great time!! What memories , lots of great songs back then and your whole life in front of you! The girl and the car are gone but the songs are with me till the day I die !!!
I loved this song during its short life on the charts in 1980. This was back in the day when I would have to sit around the radio all day waiting for it to be played. I spent the next 17 years looking for a recording, to no avail. And then, miracle of miracles, it appeared in Boogie Nights. I stopped on the way home from the theater to pick it up at a record store. Now thanks to the web, I have a dozen remixes and other creative variations of this song delivered to my hard drive with but a the click of the mouse.
Love this gem, I was a kid when when it came out but I still remember my older pals playing it on 45's. Thank you for the memories!!! A hit for all ages!!
Just saw an interview with Paul Roberts, the band leader, who claimed that the song wasn't written as a driving song. It's a song about getting back "on your feet" after a breakup. Being the driver requires inner strength with the ability to look ahead. Now I know what he meant by the line "What can I do when I remember my time with you?"
Such an underrated tune, as once it's in your head, it ain't going anywhere. Knew a beautiful girl, much like this one, but she just wanted to be in the "Drivers Seat". Awesome tune and awesome girl...
The Woman ♀️ in the video Is ABSOLUTELY Beautiful!! 1978, when this tune dropped, I was 17 years old and I think about what I have been through since 2010 until now, brain surgery, resetting my nose, heart failure and recently lymphoma cancer and now approaching 63 in November, when most people who meet me now, can't even believe that I am older than 44!! I don't know how old that young lady is in the video, but she is Stunning! Love her eyes and smile!! Simply Captivating and Alluring!! 😅😅
@@wildman318 You can call me Sydopath 😇. I live in Scotland now, and happily retired. None of my new circle of friends know about my 15 minutes of fame. I love it that way.
I remember when I was a youngster driving for the first time listening to this song in my 1976 Montego MX AM radio 📻 great and Golden memories from the '70s best years that I have ever lived. 🎼🎶📻👍😃💜🎸🎸😉✌️🕺
Today I have listened to this song about 14 or 20 times, and I always listen to it in its entirety, I simply cannot stop it before the end. I would like it to continue for much longer! It has been reminding me of someone who is no longer on this existential plane. It doesn't make me sad, rather it strengthens me.
I recall driving my 70 Plymouth Duster 340 ci in 1979 with my GF from high school by my side. This song was playing on my car radio as we drove over a tall bridge. The window was down and the summer breeze was blowing through her hair as the sun glinted upon her pretty face. She was wearing a summer dress and looked so pretty. We didn’t work out, however we are still friends to this day. 🥰
That 340 was one powerful engine❤. I had one put in my, then, 1966 Plymouth Satilite !! Later had a 1970 Challenger which had a 340 in it. My brother had a 1970 Duster that had one in it. One powerful engine !! Thanks for sharing 👍!!
I remember like it's was yesterday me and my friend's driving and blasting this song and going out to the disco club's and dance with all the beautiful ladies
I was born 1971, and I never heard this song, I heard it today on spotify, and I immediately liked it, had to come check out if they had a video for it, great great song 🎵 thanx for posting!!! Like the video as well!!!
Mahlhammer says…. Man…. Good year 15 years old bought my first car a 1968 Chevy 2 Nova ….. 2 door of course ! But the music we had coming out WOW ! This song on 8 track played and played ! Good stuff my son !
I was eighteen when this came out and memories flow in my mind when ever I hear It! Music today ain't nothin' compared to the 70's music and anyone would love to go back to that period not only for the music but life was better than todays' bullshit
My oldest brother was 19 i was 8 he had a sweet root beer brown 68 Chevelle this tune would come on he would look at me smile and floor it 😅 i never said a word or i would not have gotten to ride to the store momo with my big brother ❤
Ja wen ich diesem Song höre kommt Erinnerung hoch Freitag nach dienst Schluss von Lüneburg nach hause mit meinen opel manta GSI und gleich diesem Song gehört war schone zeit unvergessen
I remember when this song came out. Felt like yesterday and I have it on my playlist still today. Great throwback to great times and way better music! Thanks for the throwback!
For the longest time I could not find this video anymore. So glad it’s back because I love the song. First heard a little piece of it in the movie “Boogie Nights” when the Colonel walks into the room. Did a little search and found it.
I first watched this version about 10 years ago. I watched it probably 20 times over the next several years but then it disappeared. Finally I found it today. This is the best version. Great video and love the girl. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks. I took it down at her request, but now she no longer minds that it's been reposted. Take a look at her "then and now" video that I more recently put together which is referenced at the end of the original.
Great video. I had this song on many mix cassettes I made. I played one favorite tape so many times that I can never hear the outro of “Driver’s Seat” without hearing the intro of the next song on the tape, LA Woman. Thanks for the great memory. Love it.
This song SOOOooo reeks the 70s, even though it was at the tail end of the decade. Had totally forgotten about this until the end credits on Ep 1 of Citadel.
Super Song war drei Jahre schon beim Bund und Unteroffizier jedesmal Wochenende nach Hause in Auto Opel Manta angehört super Song und auch heute noch stegt schöne Erinnerungen drin war schöne Zeit besser als heute

heard this for the first time in 78. I was 12. To this day I still will say "Come what may."
This has got to be the single greatest one hit wonder ever recorded. The cream of one hit wonder crop.

You should have kept the car.

Well put bud
IT JUST DOESN'T GET IN THERE AND SUCK OLD ANIMAL SORE RAW
great memory. I was 10 in 78 and had a 68 Alfa Romeo when I started driving and no girl!
1978 was the best year for anything. I was a sophomore in high school. Miss those times.

One of my favorite one hit wonders from the almost early 80's!!!
2 BAD IT WASNT LOL The 70s rule nighty nigt
1978 graduated from High School, this song is gold & never gets old 😊😊
Same here.
Love this gem, I was a kid when when it came out but I still remember my older pals playing it on 45's. Thank you for the memories!!! A hit for all ages!!
One of the best songs… still listening 2013 ❤

Being the driver requires inner strength with the ability to look ahead. Now I know what he meant by the line "What can I do when I remember my time with you?"
Most top 40ish songs used metaphors for that.
It's about taking control of your life in aby situation.
One of my favourite songs ever...great tune for the road
Outstanding video,and the girl is gorgeous!
Great song! Beautiful girl. "A beautiful girl makes you dizzy..."🌞
Such an underrated tune, as once it's in your head, it ain't going anywhere. Knew a beautiful girl, much like this one, but she just wanted to be in the "Drivers Seat". Awesome tune and awesome girl...
Agree awesome tune and girl♡
Yeah! "Just Take Your Place in the Driver's Seat! Classic.

Beautiful girl for a beautiful classic tune. Well done. My fav go to for this song.

I got my license that year, still my favorite driving song ever!!
The 1970s BAAAAAAAABY SWEEEEEEEET 1978
She absolutely makes the video! You are still as beautiful now as you were then!
One of the best vids out there for this song....the keyboard part when she flips her hair back and forth is cool ....

Unforgetable song !!! Jenny was sweet !!!
She has such unbelievable natural beauty. Enjoyed this video for years.
Groovy tune. Heard this a million times and I could use a million more. The mom is a flower child, but the young gal is sure a peach.
What a wonderful song thanks for it the lady in it is very lovely 😊❤

For the longest time I could not find this video anymore. So glad it’s back because I love the song. First heard a little piece of it in the movie “Boogie Nights” when the Colonel walks into the room. Did a little search and found it.
This is the best sound version of this song. Others seem to not have the right base, acoustics... The best in my opinion!
I first watched this version about 10 years ago. I watched it probably 20 times over the next several years but then it disappeared. Finally I found it today. This is the best version.
Great video and love the girl. Thanks for posting this.

Who is she
Sorry. No. This one: ruclips.net/video/QCa2K-9ccYk/видео.html
This video and the time frame match very well. I grew up in the 70s. Very well done!
Never saw the one that paired the song with scenes from "Drive" (2011)? It was scrubbed off the site years ago.
This song should be extended at least another 5 minutes . Rock on 🎶

"Driver's Seat" reached number 15 on the American Billboard Pop Singles chart in the fall of 1979
Should have reached #1.
Enjoyed the ride friend!
Trippy vibe, with a slightly eerie thread.
Going to school in London, this was on the radio as I look out of the window to the pissing down rain😂.
Admit the first I heard this is Boogie Nights
Knew I'd found a gem

I was 11 when this song came out. The “big kids” down the street working on their cars were always jamming to this.
Love this song! Boogie Nights used it beautifly.
