[MrSpemat]

[weiner66]

who the hell starts a sentence with "motorin"?  Dumpin, what's your price for bowel evacuation?

[Hellwyck]

@weiner66

it's short for "you're motorin'" you pedantic little shit.

[Hellwyck]

@Hellwyck

And no,I'm not being harsh... bet you wouldn't slag off Black Sabbth for using "masses" twice in two consecutive sentences would you?

Go back to Boyzone.

[MsHJ1998]

I loved seeing these guys in concert with Journey and Foreigner!!!!!!!!!! They were all great and put on a great show!!!!!!!

[KateBushMyLove]

@futurefrontla I know right.

[elevatormusicent]

I always like this song now watching it live. I have to say I love it lmao

[kidchronic2112]

At 2:10 a guy walks behind the drummer and they go on a 10 second wide shot. I think something fell over during the song and they went on the wide shot to cover up the mistake.

[theBIGdumbANIMAL]

yeah, if its was put on a game you know its a good song!!! GTA V.C. FTW!!!

[FastPonyGT]

Is that fucking Rick Dees making the introductiion?

[triptikboy]

What a great song! But I want the piano intro! That's the best part of the song!

[sms8668]

[JERKFACEist]

This and Genesis Black and white rocked my 5 year old ass.

[67mommabear]

I used to think they wrote this song based on my life lol I was a teenager then.

[pjicleanair420]

@67mommabear its actually about the drummers whore sister cruising for sex

[matt2001tj]

@pjicleanair420 Correct, I just verified that on wikipedia "Sister Christy"

[hellbent70]

Frankenstrat25... they arent locked down cause you cant tune a floyd when their locked down. Brad Gillis was known for the res strat he plays. If you notice he uses that same guitar on most all their songs and he keeps everything lose so he can tune down and up.

[TheRocknRollfreak]

wow sounds like the studio version! im not kidding! holy crap 5/5!!

Nightranger= Awesome, underated

80's = Awesome!!!!!

[Bubbarey3D]

@TheRocknRollfreak you are wrong

80's = Cocaine!

[bcglass]

Rick Dees NUTS!

[luvsmuzik1]

That Rick Dees is so cute, and i miss his TV show.. Oh..Night Ranger great song !!

[JenJui]

[frankenstrat25]

wow he has the first floyd on there its a real hassle now with floyds but the one he has on duznt even have the fine tuners on the bridge i dont know how he tuned after the locking parts are in

[TheMusiclover1967]

I will always love night ranger. Growing up in l.a, I would listen to them, not knowing that one day I will meet them in Vegas. They're awesome. Love their music. Lyrics too. Keep rocking! Till you die!

[mrglenn66]

saw them when i was a HS senior. they played grad night at King's Dominion outside of Richmond, VA. man i loved this song. brings back alot of memories.

great band.

[19956667]

Yes, remember that night in 1984. Looking back now those were the days!!

[Smarrga1]

Saw Night Ranger when they were lead-in for the new Journey this year (2009). Couple of members were from original band. This guy was one of them. His voice has definitely gotten better w/ age! He sang some phenomenal songs!

[vcantr000]

This is such a good , classic song. I never get tired of it.

[YESmate888]

"You know you're high when you enjoy night ranger" (American dad)

[HyperWank5000]

Aaah, halcyon memories of cruising around Vice City, murdering pedestrians, and blowing the living shit out of police helicopters with a rocket launcher. x

[fireandwaterchurch1]

Great Brain!

[xaviolo]

vice city rules!!!

[DANNEGREANU1]

@xaviolo LOL I think of that to!!

[k30144]

Every time I hear this song takes me back to my high school days. It's a classic.

[democritox]

vice city yeahh

[spppph]

classic !

[kellerooni]

Classic 80s flash-in-the-pan shit.

[tombutler47]

Great song, check out my version of Sister Christian along with She Bangs, the Poker Donkey song and some funny singing telegrams and Strip o grams...

[MarioSixString]

This is so kewl

[2resident]

Motoring!!!!!!!

[darthpwnage13]

are you really that stupid excelguru? lol... Night ranger had an interview about this very question to clear it up... The term "motorin" came from the small town in oregon that his sister grew up in. On the weekend nights the teenages would drive up and down the main street in their cars and they called it "motorin".. Get your facts right my friend.

[excelguru]

You've never heard of a double entendre, have you? It's okay. I won't hold it against you. :-)

[johnnecron]

they would do that in almost every small town in Ga where there was nothing to do and no places to go because the old town farts did not want young people to have a place to go

[niteranger0127]

why is this song so popular? because it's so good that over the years this song has benn used over and over again,notably: GTA: Vice City, Boogie Nights and Friday the 13th among others. And im pretty sure it will stay with us in the years to come.

[richie649]

some solid ass drumming!

[dillonb91]

Seriously the most epic 80's song.

[keijimuto]

Yep it´s a tie between them an Kansas-Wayward Son in my op.

[ForceRagePower]

nah most "epic" song is motley crues Kickstart My Heart. But this is a great song

[chabadoogi]

im putting welcome to the jungle in there!

[713Days]

motorin is the main chorus, the drummer takes his time all the way through the song, amazin beat, top quality efficiency in the whole song, especially the lyrics, the drummer leaves it to the very last second to aim his mouth at the microphone, he's also sweating. By far the best song I've ever listened to, very little is sung but more is mentioned than i care to tell.

[bmcc70]

You obviously have no clue about the song or the band.

[rocknroller167]

Dude, seriously, any high schooler could figure it out.  The song was written for one of the bandmembers little sisters. Kind of like a poem to her about not giving up her innocence too fast.

On a side note, did not know the drummer sang. He's awesome.

[Ajulaks]

greatest power ballad ever

[fenton1017]

Yep. You said it.

[greenday8821]

go go powerRanger

[am2boni]

This a total classic!!! There is defiantely alot of energy in this song!!! God Bless Night Ranger!!!!

[interveningangel]

I'll second that. I always loved Night Ranger, and this is one of their best songs. It's kind of mellow to begin with, but then it builds momentum, then rocks out completely. Know what I mean? It's a great song, and I love seeing Night Ranger performing it live.

[fenton1017]

NIGHT RANGER IS AWESOME!!!

[bjgguitar797]

awesome

[Spikeman1963]

Jack, Your the one we should thank. You were awesome then and now with Tommy Shaw... Thank you....

[brandokid5]

This song is on GTA Vice City!

[Ajulaks]

and that only makes it better, cos GTA kicks ass

[someoneintx]

Who ever posted this thanks! The person who introduced us was a very young Rick Dees. And Kelly (our drummer who sings lead vocals) says Will Farrel got his success from looking like him 20 something years ago. lol. Thanks everyone for checking this out. Jack Blades. Night Ranger

[SKyESTaRR23]

Damn Will Ferrell can sing and play drums really well... lol

[theresabikermom]

i love this song

[RussianMan1]

GO NR!!!

[WE12WE22]

LOVE

[rickaffix]

classic

[bjgguitar797]

cool

[ftbnubs123]

is the guy at the beginning rick dees? i dont like his music, but the disco duck music video is hilarious.

[Shambion]

Does the lead singer look like Jerry Seinfield?

[gembulss]

sister christy??

[BWR84]

The lyric is "motoring"...as in cruising up and down the main. Somewhere on YouTube there is an interview with Jack Blades and Jeff Watson talking about what this song is all about. The song was written by Kelly Keagy about his sister "Christy", but when the other guys guys heard it they thought Sister "Christian" sounded better.

[KerCR]

Yep and she is from Eugene Oregon and I happen to be sitting in eugene right now typing this :)

[ronhelf]

and they talk about all this in the TNN Sister Christian clip that is available here on youtube...

[twalter]

Well where is Christy? Bet her mind was blown when this became the mega hit it was and still is. Would like to see a picture of her today and what she is up to. Does she still live in Eugene? What do you guys do there in Eugene for excitment? Cannot believe this song is 25 years old...unbelivable.

[KerCR]

I'm not sure if she still lives here or not but probably not. Eugene is full of hippies but its still pretty cool its the second biggest town in Oregon besides Portland. Alot of music comes through tho! Saw Motley in Portland on the 9th it was pretty freakin sweet :)

[Tre404]

Christy likely has a cigarette dangling from her lip as she wipes up after the ferchrissakes Rottweilers her common-law husband is breeding in the dining room of their 60s-vintage moss-encrusted double-wide trailer as she stumbles over parts from the `72 Chevelle transmission he's been "rebuilding" on the coffee table for 8 months now, narrowly escaping a stab in the foot from one of the many hypodermic syringes littering the nearly shagless shag carpet... need more visuals, or should I stop?

[OsamabinLadenisGAY]

Wow, Jerry Seinfeld is so talented.........

[twalter]

KerCR do they still go "motoring" there in Eugene and what boulevard to they do that on? Also your in your early 20's? This song is older than you. Find out if Christy still lives in town there..bet a lot of people would be interested in knowing that.

[Ladyboyloverxxx2]

yeah....i like the lyrics,,but they don't seem to make too much sense but oh well...."smoldering...what's your price for flight"!

[ronhelf]

motoring...cruising...

[bmaj0r]

wow

[excelguru]

Actually, the term motorin' is an aviation reference. It refers to the time when the pilot is sitting on the tarmac running-up the engines preparing to take-off... "motoring" the engines. In that sense, the term fits even BETTER with the deep undertones of the lyrics:

You're motorin'.

What's your price for flight?

If anyone can't understand the sexual undertones in those two lines, well, I can't help ya. LOL

[Tre404]

EXCELGURU: Great observations! Thanks for the education...

[IAmSoFreakinFunny]

this song rocks
