Terrific! I must have listened to this song a thousand times over the many years and never before today did I understand more than half the lyrics. It's a treat actually being able to understand what Randy is singing.
HA! I'd like like to have a jet but it's not in the song!
i actually get made fun of at school (im in year 10) for liking bands like, Blue Oyster Colt (B.O.C), AC/DC, BTO, Kansas, Def Leppard, Grand Funk Railroad, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Men At Work, and other ones, i so wish i was born to grow up with this music, life would rock!
@xlizzyx237 take it cool man u have great taste in music ..... maybe your schoolmates will some day too ....lol keep on rockin man i am 43 btw and love all those bands .... glad i grew up when i did .on the pos side atleast u know good music
My friends had few BTO albums, back in the 70s. We partied and rocked out to BTO countless times. I thought the lyrics said, "Look at the signs, movin the wrong way. Move out boys, let's get ready to race. 454 coming over the hill. The man on the toll's gonna to give us a bill." I always thought, "These guys are crazy! Speeding down a toll road, in the wrong direction, with a truck and trailer and laughing that, the toll taker can send them the bill later. That's just nuts!" I was wrong. Ha ha!
When this song came out I was 15 & already a BTO fan. You kids too young to remember, ask your parents how we use to have to actually listen to a radio. It was a real PITA but we didn't know it, we figured it was awesome to have a box of parts that spewed out our favorite songs.
Anyway, I was born with bad hearing & I couldn't understand what the hell he was saying but I made up words until the chorus & then I'd REALLY let it rip
"Let it Roll! Down the highway! Roll! Roll! Rollllllllll!"
Ah, such high school memories...back when rock and roll ruled. I can still see myself cruising down the highway with this song blasting away. It's still a great jam 35 years later.
i do telemarketing...im fucking 19...saving for college...i swear i wait to hear this come on the radio everyday. turns my frown upside downnn. i love you bto.
And thumbs up to that retarded, unmanly, chickeen sheet, idioscentric, poop luvin, pussy pansyeen, new man of the century law abiding dislike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ShellTrek I'm 14, I couldn't be happier if you gave thee wonders of the 70's to the little faggots with there computer genorized voice enhanced crap.
You guys raised this current generation. Don't act like the ones who listen to bad rap and bad rock are the problem. Maybe you never picked up an instrument? Maybe you did, but you never played for the joy, and only for the top? Go back to your bottle or do something.
Same here, Wheezetones. But it was always such a great song that it didn't seem to matter if I understood the words or not. But my thanks also for posting the lyrics. It is nice to finally know what they were saying.
i am alomst jealous of te people that grew up with this music, my generation has to deal with this retarded demon-voiced death metal bullshit, and crappy click and whistle rap where the artists are so into saying nigger every 5 seconds in every song, really wish I could have grown up in the 70's with this
@Nightwing690 I remember when these guys were introduced, on the radio, here in the states back in the 70's, excellent music, excellent road trip music... always had a blast listening to them heading to the ole Spectrum in Philly for a concert.... just enjoy it for what it is... really good music! And I agree with you about today's, ahem, "music"... not. It's junk, most of it, that is..... Keep on rockin !!!
@Nightwing690 no need to be "almost jealous" I am 54 years old now, I remember when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show Feb. 1964. I watched on a black and white T. V. It was a wonderful experience for all rock music. BTO was, I am sure inspired, and so many other bands. I feel the music of this time period will never be erased!
@gene347 you re right !.i m 60 .and at that time while this song started playing on the radio.every youth who own a car could not help cranking up the radio and crush down the pedal gaz ( with a little beer between our legs too !!!.) it was a real good old time .i m sorry for you youngers.but just one shadow,in 1973 there was the record of most death on roads of all the times in canada,,,
@claclown Sure it was a glorious time to listen good music and party ! But it is a changed world now. For the younger generation, I am all for "Designated Driver."
@Nightwing690 you re right !.i m 60 .and at that time while this song started playing on the radio.every youth who own a car could not help cranking up the radio and crush down the pedal gaz ( with a little beer between our legs too !!!.) it was a real good old time .i m sorry for you youngers.but just one shadow,in 1973 there was the record of most death on roads of all the times in canada,,,
@Nightwing690 I don't think death metal is retarded or bullshit; at the very least they're playing instruments-generally quite technically I might add. This is a BTO video though, so why talk about dm?
@wolffrankenstein That's a lot nicer than what I wanted to write. I agree bottom line, leave death metal out of the equation here. Many of us "headbangers" grew up on classic rock and not to mention the influence it had on the metal scene.
@Nightwing690 Drive a classic car, listen to the music, and there you go. You ain't gotta deal with the shitheads of today. All you got is a screaming v8 and some good music and suddenly you go back. Even if you didn't grow up back then. We can hardly say this new era has a place in history so go ahead and re live the good times.
@Nightwing690 I know how You feel. I pretty much hate the CRAP that's made today & I didn't realize how much I missed this kind of music until the Net came about. This is the first time I have ever seen the words. It was 1976 when this song came out and BANG!!!! WHAT A HIT!!!!! Makes me Wish I was 18 again.
@Nightwing690 i think of that all the time, i'm 15. i love music. but i don't listening to hardly any music after the year 2000. everything before that is what music is. it's not that i hate music evolution, it's that i can't stand how superficial, shallow, and untalented we have become; ie. Ke$ha.
@Nightwing690 Thankfully, we had some kind of recording technology back then so this music could live on for future generations. I agree with you, today's music SUCKS. As for what they currently call "heavy metal" it sounds like a temper tantrum with guitars in the background, bear in mind this is coming from a guy who used to listen to 80's "hair metal"
@Nightwing690 yep you got it mate. 78 to around 86 was the golden age for me.:) m50 yep i was there. i dread where music is heading. idol,got talent, xfactor will destroy good music from talented people.
One of my all time favourite tunes to hear and to play.... the solo is beautiful...you can hum some of the parts...Thanks to the internet, after 30 years..I finally know all the lyrics.. BTO,April Wine, Prism, Teaze, Helix....great Canadian Bands that did not get the recognition they deserved. Bring them out today and you could say good bye to Knickle Back and such...
This just kicks ass. It's a polished Mac truck, a full-chrome Harley, and a candy-apple '68 Mustang convertible all riding side-by-side at 75 MPH on a desert highway, with all radios cranked to this song...lol.
I heard this song on the radio the other day and thought to myself, "This song has to have the most indecipherable lyrics ever!" It occurred to me that I'd never understood any of the lyrics except the chorus.
@Wheezetones yup, its hard to understand what theyre saying , but doesnt really matter to me, kickin song , all time classic....be careful listening to this sont on the highway...easy to get a speeding ticket :P
