Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55

[SamAdamz]

"FIFTY FIIIIIIIIVE!!"

[ViolationOfCode]

I want pants like that.

[thagrtstuvawltyme11]

I like cranking this song up in the car and driving over 55 and saying HA I can drive 55....LOL

[MrMooka777]

Sammy really drives that metal rock into over drive.

[JoeThibodauxx]

dam i was like 6 or 7 yrs old when i 1st seen this & i still fukn love it

[MrPman851]

Sammy still has this Ferrari 512 shown here. He's known to be a HUGE fan of Ferraris as much as Pink Floyd's Nick Mason.

[sldl04]

Back when videos were cool.

[fanblow]

He was very skinny back then.

[Rocknranchman]

I always reconized this song as the "official screw you big government" song when they dropped the National speed limit to 55mph to "save fuel" during the big lie about gas/oil so they could get gas prices above 87 cents per gallon to a dollar/ gal. Now look at it and we are now getting used to paying over 3-4 dollars/ gal - we are really getting screwed! Sammy Rocks!

[killpitbull1986]

1957 GTO 109 MP

[Rick6315]

@killpitbull1986 a ' 57 GTO is really rare.Because they were made from 1964-74.top speed for 1st gen.(1964) was 114 mph, it increased with the years.My ' 67 ragtop goat tops at about 155-160

[ghostwarrior762]

@Rick6315 thats probably what my dads goat could hit, he loved that car, a 400 with duces, damn that thing could fly

[cowmuffin852]

hey westerly75, I live in pawcatuck and the theme song for mass. people is hilarious, you go dude

[driverfilms]

Ok you cant drive 55, In fact Sammy you can drive at all

[Herbymac0811]

This is what music actually sounds like. Not this pop, punky, electronic bullshit thats forced on us today.

[westerly75]

the theme song of drivers from massachusetts

[Ninigurl8]

I remember when this video first came out on MTV.....I was just 22...still loving it at 50 now LOL Rock on Sammy!!

[SanDiegoBabyBuddha]

I can't drive 55 because my truck is fucked up and it won't go that fast! LOL.

[pancaikmix45]

@SanDiegoBabyBuddha Fuck those goddamn government officials!!! Lets go keel them

[JimfromTexas1999]

Happy Birthday Sammy

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

This special "MTV Sneak Preview Video" must have first aired in October 1984! This was back when MTV showed music videos 24 hours a day! How I miss those days! Great video!

Bravo, Sammy Hagar!

[Companyofheroesgame]

I love when the judge says, "I'm gonna throw your ass in the county jail"

2:20

[MrPman851]

@Companyofheroesgame, that judge is John Kalodner, one of the music industry's best known A&R reps; now retired. He was responsible for Sammy's pre-Van Halen solo success as well as Aerosmith's late 80's early 90's success too.

[Companyofheroesgame]

i cant drive...

[msguidobiatch]

I can't drive 80 cause everyone passes me.

[surf403]

THIS IS WHEN MTV WAS WORTH WATCHING. NOW ALL THEYVE GOT IS SHIT MUSIC.

[mashui99]

I can't drive 70

[dodgeboykev]

This song is still da BOMB, love itLove Sammy..

[Quamlen]

So I can't drive 66 too? LOL!

[attack587]

Han Solo action figure at 1:56!

[ledzeppelin611]

i cant drive......... 55!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gummybearkiller1]

nice outfit! haha

[tenthousandflushes]

This was a killer tune during his very best Red Rocker years. Saw him in Portland during his Standing Hampton tour. Night Ranger opened for him and I'll never forget it.

[Newsensation1978]

...Sammy was actually cool when he couldn't drive 55.

[jammer96]

I was at a car show where they had one of these Ferrari's for sale. It sold for 100k I think. I got to see the engine before it sold. AWESOME!

[THEGUITARSHAMMAN]

he had a way better solo career than when he was with van halen

[runnersdialzero333]

@THEGUITARSHAMMAN That's not saying much. Also, you're wrong. Also, why is he dressed as Hulk Hogan in this video.

[racing202]

2 people can drive 55 while the other 242 have already left them in their dust.

[wtglb]

I've always loved Sammy Hagar, great rock 'n roll voice.

[matt48641]

I thought this was a pretty cool song when i first heard it on Back to the future 2

[kalle9595]

ah.... when mtv played music and not shit

[whutzat]

That old lady with the umbrella was one hard bitch!

Sammy looks like a psychadelic ungroomed poodle.

[Dantallus9000]

Van halen died when Eddie lost his freakin' mind. The band sold more albums and made more money with Sammy thean they ever did with DLR. Now Eddie and Alex are doing nothing while Sammy and Michael Anthony have a new band with Satriani.

[Explosiveelm]

@Dantallus9000 Eddie is a dick. Its only a matter of time before he kicks his brother and his son out of the band. Sammy is one of the nicest people in RnR. Wen he was touring w/ Chickenfoot, he kept his backup band fully paid. VH has gone thru 3 lead singers b/c EVH can't get along w/ anyone.

[80sRockIsKing]

@Explosiveelm exactly!!! i wish EVH would just swallow his damn pride, VH would be amazing then. They would have a solid lineup

[DeJaynes17]

I can't go 55 because I can't get it out of first gear.

[dyno1316]

I am going to take my Car to Claudio.

[robtehKILLER]

i couldent hit 55 cuz i ran outa gas at 54

[XxDeadSilencexX666]

van halen died when this jerk off joined

[StarX81]

@XxDeadSilencexX666 They weren't that bad when he was with them...lol.

[RacerXGTO]

Anyone else notice there are 2 different Ferrari's in this video. If you are true Ferraristi, you can pick out the differences!

[led4yahed187]

@RacerXGTO no, cuz ferraris r gay, shoulda used some american muscle in this vid!

[RacerXGTO]

@led4yahed187 If American cars were all that and a bag of chips, you would have never needed to come troll on Ferrari cars. But, since they aren't all that, you felt the need to come shit over here, thus proving once more, that when you ain't got it, all you have left to do is talk shit.

[led4yahed187]

@RacerXGTO NO U!

[kastaway2]

Cold war Over. No Terrorists. Just fun music from a white man!

[TheAngel603]

cool song make me remember old times

[123HagarB123]

My name is Hagar, for some reason, I feel special

[JgHaverty]

LMAO "RISISTING ARREST" on the citation haha

[ziggy72170]

This Video is so Awesome ! (I watch it once a month)... I love the beginning when Sammy says, " Ohh This thing is Runnin Great" !... ( Lol).. And when he does that "Flip" in the court room, (that's classic) !

[madcapromanian]

Han solo was executed to make this video!

[dECeNTiFiC]

He has to be the WORST driver!

[kastaway2]

The only thing that would have improved this video is if "ponch" ie Eric Estrada (sp?) would have busted him. My apoligies to "john" as I cant remember his offstage name. "CHiP"s Rules!

[knightryderrwn]

@kastaway2,

"Jon" was portrayed by Larry Wilcox. 

[1980MF1980]

Could only get away with this in 1983

[DeerCreekSOB]

I really like Sammy's music..only 1 problem..HIS SHOWS!!..He arrived hour late to Deer Creek, because of some story about being pulled over on the way to the show & had to get an escort there (No opening act even scheduled while we waited)...did 1 set & then took an intermission..came back w/ Mad Anthony and did 2nd set..which included cover of Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right" & closed the show 1/2 hour before curfew stating "that all we got, we dont do encores"..YOURE BETTER than that Sammy!

[madcatmk6]

PRAISE THE RED ROCKER SAMMY HAGAR \M/

[SilverstoneZED]

I believe he sold this car at the Barrett/Jackson action.

[gamerjunkie28]

Take my licenses all that jive i cant drive 35 in a school zone!

[jettcenterfold]

he's dressed like a cross between David Lee Roth & Shawn Michaels from The Rockers ;-]. siiiick song /video tho

[PhilM662]

this is great

[lycanthrope1962]

My sentiments exactly... Screw you granny lane lovers, stay to the fucking right or I will but some chrome in your ass!!!

[oceans20113]

Tyler is leaving Aerosmith Tom Kiefer of Cinderella is gonna be the new singer ...

Major SCOOP here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MeYouView]

sammy looks like ronald mcdonald but then again this is the 80's!!!

[Hunkola]

Sammy Hagar seems so fake to me.......first, he was this bad-ass rocker who drives too fast.......now he's a laid back beach bum sipping tequila.......he actually stole that image from Jimmy Buffett........Hagar is a total poser and complete LOSER.

[jgkg2007]

Sammy!

[Sharonprays4you]

I cant do it...i live n the desert :o)

[wjv4me]

Love ya Sammy - one of your best songs (outside of VH & Montrose). Yes, dudes

acted like that, depends upon where you lived. Chicago was pretty open then,

now everyone - it's double death overdrive, DUI, DWIs, etc. Quota for the cops time!

[ebonics4everyone]

The costume is kinda gay. I like the way he assaults the police officer though. Cops suck cock.

[seena27209]

sammy got a ticket an he was upset over it so he wrote this song in protest. that came directly from the horses mouth hagar himself. hagar 1 hell of a musician been around a long time.

[methcalin]

how funny this title goes, when you get stuck in a traffic jam :D

[hardmanners]

Great classic. They should have given him different clothes for the video though.

[grantasas]

Such a Classic, even better in the Car!

[jayce79]

I will always love this song , But it's Van Halen , not Van Hagar.

[The80smusicgirl]

This is one of those "classic" songs - like Centerfield and Another One Bites the Dust.

[MultiRocknrollfan]

lol that judge has a prob with killing things...

[ebonics4everyone]

@MultiRocknrollfan That judge probably smokes lots of green plants. He looks like a hippie with a crazy British wig on or something.

[abergethirty]

Great Song, Awful video. I wonder who's idea it was for them to be in their stage costumes. Sure, people run around in public in bright yellow jumpsuits and barber pole knee socks all the time.

[ebonics4everyone]

@abergethirty It was 1983, so looking like an idiot got you girls.

[abergethirty]

@ebonics4everyone I was around in 1983 and nobody wore anthing like that in public.

[Manthing32]

hell yeah fuck the man.

[ToSSpLaY]

Man this video has to be one of the most epic ever!

[kaylababy1996]

you all are gay

[666mayita]

estta cancion se quedo pegada en mi cabezaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[theclassicrockkid95]

TOO FUNNY!! :P

[Eggdude16]

top 5 best music video's ive ever seen!

[FirebirdKnight]

Should have used a Trans Am.

[dojOdRiFTeR]

ferraris r more classy

[transam1994GT]

@FirebirdKnight . amen brother. i can tell ur a transam fan by ur name lol. check mine. but a ladie hit me and totald it. so now ive got a 99 trans ls1, sittin on z06 wheels. ive owned many transams. :)

[reno93535]

@FirebirdKnight Trans Am look cool, but HP was low with all the smog crap those years. Perhaps a Hemi Charger.

[FirebirdKnight]

@reno93535 Yea true the smog laws that came out in the 70's? ruined the HP for the later birds. The turbo trans am of the late 70's early 80's had so little HP that you couldn't spin the wheels.

[JgHaverty]

@FirebirdKnight you're an idiot. Not one person on this planet would choose a Trans Am over a Ferrari.

[FirebirdKnight]

@JgHaverty Actually no there's a few people here that would.

[JgHaverty]

@FirebirdKnight A few people would suicide bomb a building as well. Doesnt mean they are intelligent. If you chose a firebird over a ferrari, you definitely need to get out of my gene pool lol

[FirebirdKnight]

@JgHaverty Well I'm sorry you can't respect other peoples opinions it's a car I couldn't care less if you like it or not.

[TomD4Eva]

I can't drive 55, coz it only goes 38

[Myserieden]

@TomD4Eva

lol sounds like my car when i blew the head gasket.

[frankenstrat25]

u gotta love that sammy hagar dean

[TheThokar]

it seems like most people that end up w/ that car get in wrecks so just stop buying it

[SuperCountryboy09]

sure

[TheSnigger]

i gotta say hes better than david lee roth which necessarily hard to say lol

[retrolol]

the 1983 ferrari 512BBi <3

my step dad bought this exact car from Sammy.

[LuckyPierre78]

I remember seeing this video when I was seven....What with the Ferrari and the courtroom fracas and all that - I pretty much thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen in my life. At that age, this sort of anti-authority shit blew my mind. Got the 12" record from Sears. Seeing it as an adult, it still rules. It's like, how much more ass could it kick? The answer is none. None more ass.

[DerCooleZeiger]

YEAH

[retrolol]

-_- i rode in that EXACT car.

too bad it got totaled in an accident a few months ago :[

[lindenboy95]

Well, i learned one thing.... never hang a lick on a cops back when an old lady with an umbrella is present... :-|

[BenniCrookston]

Wait u worked on this but u can't remeber when? Were u high or r u just very accomplished?

[Rawr2013]

Risisting? Really i know this is old but come on...at least spell the damn word right.

[TheSnigger]

resisting is the correct spelling lolz.

[BladeLight52]

Nin10Doh! Reference:

Come on! Green means go, Jackass!

[chainbracelet]

WHAT IS THIS LIGHT? PAINTED RED?

[pporter28]

this is my favorite song by him

[patsupfan]

I fucking LOVE it! The 80's was the best decade for the good ol' rock n roll!

[jason75]

tAKES ME BACK TO HIGHSCHOOL IN THE 80S' AH GOOD OLD DAYS

[drummingdog13]

i loooveee this song!!

[DONNIEP5150]

That's "the" Claudio that suggested Sammy call Eddie.

The car is a BB512 and Michael Anthony has a red one. Great video!

[mobbin44]

this video is so fucking funny xD

[CalleUnion]

MAN!! This is real rock and roll!! What happenned to this type of great music!?

[jason75]

He's wearing the same colors of Hulk Hogan lol

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Two different worlds and years apart-one has hair and one is bald-one is on the up and one is going down------yeah Cabo Wabo :):):)

[RockerGrrrrl74]

Sammy Hagar was better on his own. Thankfully he's out of Van Halen!

[ChaosStreams]

This is one of the best videos ever.

[TheRealInvaderZim]

The price of fuel should be even cheaper soon-easier to feed the beast---now just got to get rid of the ethanol blending---and get back to real juice :)

[TobinPT]

ahhaah LOL

the price of fuel will never be like used to be in the past...

[bisnaw]

hey, its gettin there...

1.55 isnt bad

at least thats what it is where i live

[rthinds]

Ohhhh man. That was a very dark time - 55mph across Nevada or Texas is as close to torture as one can get.

"What used to take 2 hours, now takes all day". . . . . how very true that was.

THANK GOD the speedlimits are higher.

[superumbrellaman]

great song

[richardman1992]

screw that 308 gt or whatever it is, sammy shoulda used his "ieatz28" trans am

[shitinotsure]

RAP sucks  55 Always

[UltraPOPDJ]

Sneak Preview video? Huh! Those were the good ole days of MTV, dude! I remember seeing this on the MTV during my first year of ever watching MTV! That video always threw me off a bit, and I did not think that they would raise the speed to 65 on most major highays, ever when I was only 12 at the time. In Georgia most of them say 70 MPH, which is way cool!

[TheRealInvaderZim]

You remember when MTV meant music television ! it a f!!k!!g reality teen channel now ;(

[napalmcoffee]

its too bad those yellow space cadet jump suits never caught on .. shame a real shame

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Glam Rock transition period--buy a bottle of Cabo Wabo and see how Sammy has matured

[lemytyd97]

sammy hagar is awsome shame this song is so underated all the kids today listen to rap im 13 and its strictly metal 4 me and its stayin that way

[fluffydolly]

shame more voa songs weren't released ,great record ,sadly forgotten.
