Much sympathy sixtiesrockboy; you did not receive an adequate education. Your response to my comment regarding pedophillia tells me you lack the ability to comprehend the written word. You probably shouldn't read comic books because you will jump off a building and believe that superman will rescue you. Toodles dunce boy!
This was a warm up song for my highschool jazz band. Used it to recruit young ones into band. playing trombone and glancing over the sheet music for this song gives me goosebumps. XD

This song really has that "Wow!" factor. In other words, the wow from the off-center LP album hole is incredibly obvious in this video. I still love it though.
Blood, Sweat, & Tears? Nope...but the vocal on Vehicle sure sounds like David Clayton Thomas, doesn't it? And the horns sound like BS&T, too. Creating a "mimic" cut like "Vehicle" was smart marketing. BS&T was a major act at that time, getting tons of airplay. A song like "Vehicle" was a no-brainer for radio music directors to add. So, they did. And Ides of March's record label laughed all the way to the bank. That's how the biz works sometimes.
@Helivz: I was in second grade when the song came out and was elated when it played on the radio; never did receive enough air time. The late 60's early 70's made some great rock music. Who can forget Spirit in the Sky, Green Eyed Lady, In-a-Godda-Da-Vidda, Conquistador, Thank you, Get Ready...the list is endless.
God damn it! Do you know I looked for this song forever and bought every Blood Sweat and Tears album to try to find it because I never knew what the song title was. I have never even heard of this band hahaha. Thanks for the upload.
@vegeetas The song is about the singer/songwriters then girlfriend, current wife, who had him driving her all over the place. Peterik also wrote the lyrics for the Poli Genova song, "One Lifetime Is Not Enough". In some ways, that song could be the decades after sequel to "Vehicle". Yeah, it's not blue-eyed soul/funk. But, it is written by someone who has been married to the same person for decades which adds to the meaning of the song.
@sharonscorpioful I remember this tune in the fall of 1969, as I entered the third grade. I was only a lad of eight. Now, in a few days I'll be turning 51. Posted November 30th, 2011.
Ides of March, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, & Tower of Power...the great horn bands of all ages. I always wondered how Bill Conti didn't get sued...his "Gonna Fly Now" from "Rocky" was another one I loved, but it's almost a carbon copy of "Vehicle".
I thought this was my theme song in 1970 just graduated hs and driving dad's black dodge custom 880 and thinking I was Miss Cool, picking up guys. until one got wacko and raped me. He went off to vietnam and I went off to college and had his baby. Yes there is more tothe story but this was the 70's where the woman was at fault because she let him ride in her car
@spartenbeny Thumbs up, but a Google search brought me here. (I needed a unicorn chaser after listening to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and I'd been thinking about "Vehicle" recently, so here I am.)
The horn section sounds like no other horn section. That's because they are all from Illinois! Although I was raised in Chicago, I was born in Berwyn, Jim Peterik's home town. How proud I am for my home town boys, The Ides of March!
Hey man -- this is great. I worked with these guys back in July 2010 - they created the soundtrack on a revised version of my song "Turpentine Wine." My original studio version was deemed too long -- so, they kind of re-engineered my song -- and well, I was very impressed. In fact, I've submitted it as a video response in case anyone is interested in how they sound today. They are truly GREAT GUYS -- and so professional. It was an honor to work with them. Your taste in music is great!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THAT LISTEN TO THIS SONG, I DON'T GET TIME TO REPLY TO EVERY COMMENT BUT YOU ARE MUCH APPRECIATED, MAY IT CONTINUE TO GIVE PLEASURE TO MUSIC LOVERS.
i remember as a kid the first time i heard this song i thought it was by 'chicago'. i used to do this tune in a cover band and it was one of my favorites to sing. what an ass kickin' powerful tune.
I love this song but if you listen to the beginning lyrics,
I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan won't you hop inside my car.
And the next line says something about having candy.
I hate to say this but we only heard those lyrics alone, it sounds like a stranger your mother warns you about that tries to lure kids to their car.
Obviously the group either didn't think about that when they wrote this or it was before things like that happened . I just thought those lyrics were a bit odd
Sorry, but this song is not about pedophillia. The song is the attraction of man to woman and how man attempts/succeeds/fails to attract the woman of his dreams. The age old story of lust and pursuit thereof of the finer sex. Think about it, men give chocolates and flowers on special occasions. That is the implication; man as the vehicle, will deliver the desires of the woman whom he wishes to possess, as he views her as the culmination of his own desires.
@sharonscorpioful Why would you even need to acknowledge this person making a statement like that?they are just chucking shit to get a rise out of you..you have to be smarter than that
@sharonscorpioful God, you are a fucking WEIRDO! Don't go into psychiatry! You're either a fucking woman yourself, or you're an apologist "male" flunky of bitches! You sound like you're trying to give these bitches implicit and explicit permission to KEEP using and abusing males! There are more than seven billion people on earth, and few are here because of rape or incest. Women want what men want, but they're too proud to admit it! Let BITCHES ask and pay! Finer sex!? Ha! Ha!
@Tigersharpclaws man I thought i was the only one who rembrs that movie it was the reason I fell for this song , I was only 9 then .and still love it now,
I saw this band in St. Francis , Wisconsin (a Suburb of the Great City of Milwaukee) in 1969 at PIO NONO High school and they did this Song it was GRRRReat!
@StraightOuttaDC lol yeah definitely seems like a non sequitur but I think one of the commercials for the old Evel Knievel action figure had a brass rife that seemed like it was inspired by "Vehicle"--back before anyone used real songs in commercials. And speaking of non sequiturs, I used to be in a band and our drummer swore up and down that he played on this record...of course he was a pathological liar....or was he?
I remember when it first came out-- I was a friendly stranger in a (barely street-legal) blue race car... I still LOVE to listen to this raunchy drivin beat, and I still love to sing it (I'm a tenor with a raunchy voice). Alas, I no longer have the blue race car.....
@draciel80 Hey man, I don't blame you. There are a few bands out there that I've made that mistake with: Average White Band and Blood Sweat & Tears are another couple, and the list doesn't end there. It's just proof to me that good music crosses all lines.
@draciel80 I don't see how in God's name you thought these ppl were black. I heard this song waaaaay back and new they were white. That man's voice sounds very white. He reminds me of that other white singer that sang, "Into the Night". He also sounds a little like Tom Jones and the lead from Blood, Sweat and Tears.
We played this song last year in my marching band :) We played Takin' It To The Streets, Play That Funky Music White Boy, Vehicle, and Let's Groove :) I miss our show from last year!
@drgonzo71 Neither would I really, back in those days only the top 30 was broadcast but now everything that enters the top 75 is considered to be a hit... even though the record companies wouldn't agree.
this thing got tons of radio play at night......and rocks!...hit?..just a number.......great tune? surely.....the "chicago sound"..no matter where from, similar to the "memphis beat" horn sections, in your face vocals, great hood, yea, a hit
The first concert I ever attended was The Ides of March in a small theatre in my home town in the very early 70's. I was probably 12 or 13.. Jim Peterik was amazing! I spent the next several years catching every concert I could. Can't count them all. Everyone from Mott the Hoople to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Kiss to Ralph Stanley. Loved them all!
This album came out when I was 4 but my dad was a professional musician and he had this album.....I love it.....Takes me way back........He had some pretty awesome old records......
only cover ive ever liked on American Idol / i think it was bobice / would of givin him the crown right there / check out the vid on u tube / not a big fan of that show either
I love this song. I was about 16 when it came out. Vehicle was one of those rare songs' the more you heard it, the more enjoyable it was. It brings back fantastic times.

@drgonzo71 Neither would I really, back in those days only the top 30 was broadcast but now everything that enters the top 75 is considered to be a hit... even though the record companies wouldn't agree.

The first concert I ever attended was The Ides of March in a small theatre in my home town in the very early 70's. I was probably 12 or 13.. Jim Peterik was amazing! I spent the next several years catching every concert I could. Can't count them all. Everyone from Mott the Hoople to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Kiss to Ralph Stanley. Loved them all!

@getula4003 He was 19. There was a new Ides of March album released last year, called "Still 19". The title song tells the story of the band.

@getula4003 I once read that he was 16; but the writer may have mixed him up with the guy who sand incense and peppermints.

Love the tune, but the lyrics leave me creeped out. Sounds like they are singing about a pedophile!
"Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger
In the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man"
"By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
Need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child"
Anyone else?... Buehler..... Buehler...

I love this song. I was about 16 when it came out. Vehicle was one of those rare songs' the more you heard it, the more enjoyable it was. It brings back fantastic times.
