The Ides Of March - "Vehicle" (1970)

[TownBranchDandy]

I used to cruise around in my 69 Roadrunner listening to songs like this on my 8-Track. Long Live Rock.

[apricotpoodles08]

wait this is from the george lucas movie starring harrison ford right? is harrison ford in this clip?

[ninefivesuited]

American Graffiti + Ides of March = BRILLIANT!

[huntersingle]

wish they would have kept the guitar solos out of the song, back then they didnt know how to solo except for a small crop of players.

[thehifidoc]

@huntersingle actually that was a pretty good guitar solo for the time, and it is my favorite part of the song, You should try to play it.

[brainsareus]

i used to run track, while running this song in my head.  [i wonder how stoned mckenzie was, while while filming "american graffetti";and harrison, had that crazy glint in the eye, even back then.]

[afromime]

I heard this song on drinknos when i was checking the codes to see if i won anything, then i searched the lyrics to this song, and now i've been listening to it for like a week! haha

[MishuTaste]

This band sounds a lot like Chicago Transit Authority.

[spartenbeny]

Thumbs up if NOS brought you here.

[RandomHero486]

If I was a pimp in the 70's this would most def. be the song Id drive to.

[REXY309]

its awesome but trumpets are out of tune..

[TheROYALted]

playin this song for my marching band show. gonna rock it!!! :D

[EpicPanda12]

@1AztecaBoxing I'm a teen and I loooove this song!!!

[1AztecaBoxing]

I think im one of the only teens who like oldies like these!

[petejanett]

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYEAH

[MrMotownmanny]

Later, they became  the band SURVIVOR.

[scammett]

@MrMotownmanny Actually, only Jim went on to form Survivor. He wrote "Eye of the Tiger".

[DjJtown]

If you get a chance to see see these guys live,DO IT!! Jim and the rest of the guys haven't lost a thing, but maybe some hair, in 30 years.

[wizynajtys]

American Graffiti is the movie

[yourimaginarypal]

Wait, what movie is this in the video?

[TheBacmaster]

@yourimaginarypal The name of the movie is "American Graffiti" released in 1973.

[mazdaplz]

@TheBacmaster i think it was one of the first george lucas movies and it has harrison ford if im not mistaken

[jewelgreen777]

@mazdaplz

Yeah, that's Harrison Ford. And the girl in the yellow car is Mackenzie Phillips.

[beernpizzalover]

@mazdaplz Yep, Harrison Ford is 'the friendly stranger in the black sedan'.

[jsl1211]

@yourimaginarypal American Graffiti

[seeingthesigns]

F**King Badass. Beat the crap out of these wannabes.

[XxSoupnessxX]

Great song!!! Doing this song in jazz band!!!! Oh yeaaaaa trombones

[ShatteredPixle]

we're playing this in Jazz Band :D

[leighgirl123]

@ShatteredPixle Thats awesome! wish the Jazz band in my school played it

[ShatteredPixle]

@leighgirl123 yeah the bass part is...ok. i think playing it is kinda boring

[EpicPanda12]

@ShatteredPixle Same, i love the trombone part, after all that is my main instrument, when the concert next week comes my jazz band will ace this song!

[FaganRoberts]

There was a HUGE difference between the America of "American Graffiti" (1962) and the America of "Vehicle" (1970). And that's a fact!

[zenmachinefilms]

Awesome muscular song. Captures the era perfectly, doesn't it?

[noirgwio]

Awesome song... Killer flick... Great, great pairing. =D

[noirgwio]

@turkeygrandpa69 American Graffiti... Great, classic movie.

[234helenrose]

Oh the horns!!!

[FASTLIGHTNING1]

I HAD TWO 55 CHEBBYS IN THE DAY I LOVED THAT CAR !

[TheKennyKennyKenny]

Great song, Great Movie, Great video Joe!!!!!!

[BBQFanNo1]

july '70 had the best with mama told me not to come by three dog night,vehicle by ides of march,and up around the bend by creedence clearwater revival.

[BBQFanNo1]

why i love this song so is because i lost my virginity when this song first came out.

[thespeez]

The car I always envision when I hear this song is a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado, preferably with a sunroof.

[killarshark]

One of the Greatest songs of the 70's I remember this song as I was starting high school.

[daddyoj]

Had some time around the Band - Blood Sweat & Tears and it always strikes me how much this track sounds like them, from Bobby Columby style drumming, horn section, and David Clayoton Thomas true sound alike

[Natejitsu]

Oh god, my grandma lives in berwyn, and her name is Karen. This can't be!!! lol

[1975vini]

great god in heaven enjoy this great song... i m sure about that..

[keelo911]

THIS IS A REALLY COOL SONG LOVE HEARING IT ALL THE TIME WHEN I DRIVE

[Novinte]

Stallone ftw

[agapathos]

Totally hot hooks--horns especially--but f**k'n' pervy as hell! wtf? Think about Chelsea King, Amber DuBois, Stephanie Crowe--need I say more?

Pictures? Candy? "Got to have you, Child"? What kind of creep IS this dude?!?

[bze2nlz4]

What a talented bunch of guys...have seen them perform many times over the years...thanks for posting this, Joe.

[nipsterstang]

Awesome, Joe! Great song but Greater movie!! That movie was my life! Our town was exactly like that back in the 60's! We went downtown to look for Girls, a party or a street race. We always found at least one. Great times that will never be duplicated again! Thanks for taking me back there for a few minutes!

Jim

[TheBacmaster]

@nipsterstang I hear you on that Jim. I drag raced for some 17 years on the street (I mean the track) lol ! The days of wine and roses are over. So sad but true. I think all we have left is air the that we breathe.

[nipsterstang]

@TheBacmaster Ha! The Street and the Strip!! Before I left the house, in the evening, before another wonderful unknown adventure, I would wash my Mustang and adjust the lifters, just in case!! Ha! What can these poor kids do today with a Kia! Oh, Mercy am I glad I grew up when I did!! Well, "Grow Up" is a relative term, I guess! Ha! Keep up the Great work, Joe!!

Jim

[recman1207]

@TheBacmaster Wow I drag raced a 'few' yrs back in the North East! Great times!

[prophet711]

[prophet711]

@TheBacmaster WEll said my friend. Thanks for having the insight so many others lack. LOL. /btw I had a 70 roadrunner. Fully loaded. 10.25 quarter mile

[2patrock]

@nipsterstang I watched or rather rode shotgun!!- just like the little girl( Mackenzie-Phillips)in the movie-with the older guy who got stuck with me! he was nice n kind anywayz to me, He got a kick out of seeing this kid-me having such fun just cruising the Avenue and be-boppin' rock-n-roll on the radio did I say I had a blast?! LOL-

[rafaelmc76]

[JAMESMCCULLA]

[papabugs71]

[crackfarm76]

[LateNightCable]

[AreWildZ28]

Good song! Good video too!

[Drblooter99]

So if Peterik had played it cool and said no to his first love's request for a lift, he'd have written -- "No car for you today, Karen" -- instead ?!

Not a good look.
