79. "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'N' the Tears {#15; 7/79} [iTunes? Yes] {Video: Driver's Seat.}
This is definitely an early "wheelhouse" song. 1979! I was thirteen years old, just starting 8th grade. My sister had left the house, and my brother was entering his senior year of high school. Their influences on my musical tastes and listening habits were on the wane. I was finally in the driver's seat.
"Jenny was sweet. She always smiled for the people she'd meet."
"Feeling alright. A little jiving on a Saturday night." (I always thought the lyrics were "a little driving on a Saturday night," but all the song lyric sites I just looked at said it was "jiving." I think I still prefer "driving.")(I'm a stubborn man, and 35 years of singing it one way isn't about to change overnight.)
I've gotta say, I'm not a big fan of that "'N'" in the middle of Sniff 'N' Tears. I think I'd like it better without the quotation marks. Of if they had standard double quotation marks.
I've never heard any other songs by Sniff 'N' the Tears. I wonder if they were any good?
