Sniff 'n' The Tears – Fickle Heart (1978)

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: October 1, 1978

Lyrics:

Doing alright

A little jiving 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)

Has its own way to get to you (ooh)

What can I do (what can I do?)

I'll not remember my time with you

Pick up your feet

You've 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 alright (ooh)

A little jiving on a Saturday night (yeah)

And come what may (ooh)

Gonna dance the day away (yeah)

Driver's seat, ooh

Driver's seat, yeah

Jenny was sweet (ooh)

There is no elite (yeah)

Pick up your feet (ooh)

Pick up, pick up (yeah)

Pick up your feet (ooh)

Gonna dance the day away (yeah)

Driver's seat, ooh

Driver's seat, yeah

Driver's seat, ooh

Driver's seat, yeah

Songwriter: Paul Roberts

Yeah

Driver's seat

SongFacts:

"Driver's Seat" is a 1978 song by British band Sniff 'n' the Tears, appearing on their debut album Fickle Heart. The band is considered a one-hit wonder, as "Driver's Seat" was their only hit, except in the Netherlands, where they had a second top 40 single.

The song's genesis dates back to 1973, when Sniff 'n' The Tears recorded a demo tape for a French record label with singer/guitarist Paul Roberts, guitarists Laurence "Loz" Netto and Mick Dyche, and bassist Chris Birkin. The drummer Luigi Salvoni was a new addition after the breakup of Moon, the band he had been in. They bought the demo tape and signed to the small Chiswick label in 1977. Keith Miller played the Moog solo and also toured America with the band. Noel McCalla sang backing vocals.

According to Paul Roberts, "Driver's Seat" is not about driving, but rather about "fragmented, conflicting thoughts and feelings that might follow the breakdown of a relationship." One of the key decisions when arranging the song was to start with the drums and gradually introduce other instruments.

"Driver's Seat" reached number 15 on the US Billboard Pop Singles Chart[4] in the fall of 1979 and reached the top 10 in the Netherlands in November 1980.

In Canada, the song peaked at number 17 and was in the RPM Top 100 for 21 weeks.

A 12-inch version was released on A Best of Sniff 'n' the Tears in 1991. The song appeared at number one on the Dutch Top 40 charts that same year because it was used in a Pioneer commercial.

snakes have something called a jacobson's organ that allows them to smell. they stick out their tongue, and then when it enters their mouth again, the jacobson's organ processes what they just smelled with their tongue. i say this to propose that, after yakumo licks eiden's dick for a good 10 minutes, he closes his mouth and processes it all like O_____O

when i TELL YOU that this message left me bracing the wall like

(overwhelmed with positive affect)

[serpentinesheldonserpentine]

You gotta respect the effort…

I found this parked car festooned with stickers, serving, I imagine as an optimistic driver’s analog to a necklace of garlic, but designed to ward off irate motorists who the driver probably cut off in traffic.

This one’s position next to the door handles suggests that the driver is wary of being pulled from behind the wheel and roughly tossed into the breakdown lane where they will undoubtedly undergo a beating.

Must be from New Jersey.
