I only heard this song for the first time about 30 minutes ago in the car, but now I can't listen to anything else

[SteGreenall]

I have a show on a community radio station - Black Cat radio - and Henry Priestman - from the band, is my guest on Monday December 19th

[merseymained]

[mattjreid]

I think the lyrics lyrics + delivery on the verses is risible - but I think the chorus is great.

[dominickearney]

I'm learning to drive and have just been put on insurance to drive my parents Ford Fiesta, been driving with my instructor and neighbour plus my mum, and this song just sums it all up PERFECTLY! I cannot wait to pass, and then drive sensibly on the road! :-D

[gothicsakura82]

jack who? jack who?

[marshalllucky]

I love this song,I`ve not heard anything else they did yet but with the harmonica and wurlitzer it sounds a bit supertramp....ish....no bad thing ;-)

[vertgpu2]

Classic underrated song of the 80's. This song makes me want to get in a car and take a road trip across the UK!

[vertgpu2]

love this song! This makes me feel like getting in a car and just taking a road trip across the Uk with this song playing in the background!

[WESTSTAND63]

EXCELLENT. HAPPY DAYS. XX

[Rumpio]

Good to see Gene Wilder on the harmonica there.

[77rosscoe]

Two 12in "Driving" versions released where you could hear the Jack Cadalic line I believe without checking. As featured on album - second a fresh 12in single with new bonus song. There is quite an untold history to the recording of this classic song originally, with its Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) rejected production (blame me) before employing Dave Bascombe who captured it brilliantly. But Jerry's choice use of mouth harp is also elemental to the sound. 2 'Ed's" 12in versions are also great

[whiters2009]

what a cracking song- totally takes me back to the 80's!!

[biscayforce12]

There is soooo much going on in this song. BRILLIANT. Probably the best song to come out of the '80's. Shame they don't make them like this any more. Like thundernaked below I too listen to it every day. Never get bored with this song.

[txfantastic]

well they are still unknown how come my god. thisis a song about getting away from todays chaos

[thundernaked]

On average i must've played this song atleast one time daily for 20 years

[Loveyourplanetjanet]

YEAH i AM GETTING OLDER.......BUT NO WORRIES ABOUT IT..........ITS NICE TO GET REMEMBERED ABOUT MY PAST WITH GOOD MUSIC......

[greenberlina]

Couldn't help but think of this song while taking my first drive along the M62 (Englands highest motorway) earlier this week. I remebered the line in the song mentioning the M62, but couldn't for the life of me recall the name of the band. Thanks for uploading this, and thank god for youtube ;)

[cloudbuster66]

[lonegroover]

Delightful old tune. I revisit it every few months.

[prince1280]

Its been over 20+years since I've heard this song. Honestly, I thought I never hear it again because I remember the name of the song but not the group. This song really took me back to a great place and time in my life, Thanks for the post.

[Dhalsim06]

[Flatlinergenius]

This along with SPACE are two of the best songs ever

[EarlBruce1]

A Sony walkman, an National Express Coach from London to Swansea, and always that song - my private summer of 88 :-)

[jamza52]

anyone from the north east ,the old coke works at rowlands gill/axwell are on the vid at 2.06..cool

[squonkness]

Cool tune

[40ny]

Truly a gem... I especially love the part where the lines, "For the clean air, healthy you know" are matched up with the image of the guy riding the ostrich.

[dynamicbaddog]

This is the best music video ever, I still love it as much as I did when it was first released !!

[Gato76680]

Such a wonderful song! And the best album's title ever ("Life's Hard Then You Die")!

[AL15BQMA]

Bloody Awesome! My life for this track!

[dava123]

timeless

[Kylie4Eva]

This a fantastic song. Classic!!!!

[boilingblacksea]

Still sounds amazing.

[jaseywasey49]

This song was released when i was young, i barely remembered it. It sounds so original, the eighties is often lambasted, But the current time could never produce classics like this.

[terrythekittie]

Too true! There was a lot of very ordinary music produced in the 'eighties', but as well much that was brilliant like this gem...eight years into the first decade of the new century, popular music is looking sad and very uninspired..it's a shame!

[jaseywasey49]

Without sounds a bitter and twisted person who is just started his 30's you're rite. A lot of people ignore the original stuff like this furniture brilliant mind & Adventurers Broken Land and think 80's was all cheese.This period has nothing like that.

[riceey]

amazing voice

[sunbeam2000]

Top tune reminds me of our trips From Leeds to Liverpool the adelphi etc..used to get played on the journey alot arrr sweet memories

[thedesiresymposium]

Very underrated band. Thanks for posting!

[durant8]

I'll drive you home!with this tune... so cool!

[realmoordrid]

Nice one big fella!

[FrankSidebottom]

ah yes...thanks

"just get in and we'll for for a ride"
