[BedazzleGlitterGal]

I have dreams about me,.. all dazzled, cruising the hollywood hills in a pink cadiallac .. playing this song. I feel loved by the faceless driver, then i WAKE UP to shitty reality..

[Heavymetallord1]

I remember when I was young, I would sit in the back seat of my parents camaro and listen to this tape over and over again... Years later and that very same camaro belongs to me now, this song will always mean something to me because of that

[MrThebull09]

45 people are in hollywood days

[montbroussous]

dirty video, big song

[713nova]

love this song..thats why we here.

[w1ldrover]

So we all have a story about this song here's mine: 11th grade high school. It was a beautiful day and me and a beatiful girl skipped the second half of the school day and went to a local lake and skinny dipped and played on a rope swing. Leaving the lake we had some country roads to take to get back to town and we had the windows down... the wind flowing and we just had an adventurous day. We cranked this song loud and sang even louder.

[713nova]

@w1ldrover I love it..very nice..you da man..so good..I love you..nova.

[Ayeshaisz]

This Is Such A Great Song.Love Sometimes Can Make Us A little Nutty? I Love Listening To This In The Car, With The Windows Down & The Music Blasting At Full Throttle. Its A Great Song.Thank You Bob. For Writing Such Great Song.

[uNVme130]

[TheBDawg00]

Let me be the last to say that Bob Seger is a legend. This song makes me feel young again!

[Supereagles1000]

@dirtyoldman1100 miles are longer

[soundshaper3]

Amazing track, but how did it ever get released with such bad drumming??!!!

[ironbarkhardwood]

@soundshaper3

Apparently it was two drummers, or two drum tracks laid over each other...something like that.

Still makes it hard to stick to the speed limit when driving and listening.....

[ballochdubh]

Just an amazing voice, and one of the greatest tracks of all time.And please dont bloody argue?.

[ninelivecat]

I just got back from Hollywood what a cool place

[rockonbro1]

[lilacoda]

I moved from Detroit to LA. The first time I heard this song out there I was driving over the hill from the valley into Hollywood. It brought chills and tears. Bob, you have no idea. Well, I guess you do ;)

[myowntruth44]

i wanna see the one o one baby! love it!

[GRAW2ROBZ]

Bump this! Theres no Hollywood Nights on page 1 damnit!

[steffen19k]

You know, this reminds me of the Dallas intro.

[101truthhurts]

Loud, even. Fuck it, same thing. Blow your speakers, it's worth it.

[101truthhurts]

Great song. Turn it up load.

[vincentgentilejr]

NO ONE TELLS A STORY LIKE BOB

[mistyautumn44]

[FastMovingOrb]

I love the music! But is this a Porche Advert or a Carmen Electra Advert?

[ickystickyfingers420]

so if your dad makes you listen to this as punishment and your a big hip hop fan why the hell are you looking this up on youtube i mean i dont like barney music so i dont search it easy as that you buffoons

[1ladydianna]

@ickystickyfingers420 way too damn funny , but to the point!!!!!

[freddlyo]

I remember burinin up I 40 on the way to LA when I was a 22 year old when this song came on the radio, It was a moment of perfection.

[patruinky1]

Nice video, great song!

[blindneep]

Makes me laugh when wankers ( jerkoffs ) make comments about the inadequacies they see in the history of music. Let them bemoan their innocence. We were there and in 20/30 years time, their kids will say daddy, you sucked. Which will be the truth. On the other hand we never did.

[aidatorres072375]

when i act bad my dad puts this song on and i die thats my grounded

[joejoeaces]

very nice video,a job well done

[cleopatra481]

and half way home too huh

[RonyMexico]

don't think a skank like carmen electra could ever drive me insane, just saying

thanks for the vid, though, very good

[monkeymanNr1]

Bob Seger! you're fat and you havea stupid beard!

[DalkrisAKP]

@monkeymanNr1 obvious troll is obvious

[monkeymanNr1]

@DalkrisAKP sorry its that dickhead talking about hip hop that pissed me off

[knightstorm16V]

@monkeymanNr1 i think you'll find you're looking in a mirror. knob

[monkeymanNr1]

@knightstorm16V i bet every time you look in the mirror you realize you like bob seger and realize you suck

[faithfulpoet1]

Beautiful video. I love the city lights and the mountain road shots. Thanks for sharing!

[PanicBeast]

Thumbs up if you've driven that ventura road on the coast

[robinthais]

Thanks so much. The song is great, and the video definitely captures the essence of the song... thanks again for posting this!

[austen4272]

Man this guy rocks parents been talking about moving to San Diego for years this song and Jack Daniels make it happen. God i love this guy and song.

[DonaldHope]

Great Video~! Really love this..& Living here.I know all the places that this video shows! And yeah..Bob Seger Rocks!!

[glennwith2nns]

A visual doggie-bag of stale videos, patched together trying to make a meal. Nice try though.

[zaherskhadijah]

this sucks but love the song.although i love Seger

[monk326]

Any body know what happened to nancy johnson grew up by mounds park, graduated harding 1970?

[PamelaKW]

@monk326 Type her in, Google might tell You, maybe she's on there just waiting, she might even be on Facebook, Smile!

[StyrbjornStarke]

Fucking awesome song!

This is the kind of song you wanna speed down the highway to

[DOitTOtheCROWD]

When I was 10, this song was about a year old, and my dad and I were in his 1959 El Camino. He put this song into the 8 track player, stopped the truck in the street, and rammed the pedal to the floor. Smoke shot out from the tires and filled the street in a thick fog. After what felt like a minute, he lifted his foot, looked over at the shiteating grin on my young face, and just said "yeah".

He's not with us any more, so this song will always hold a special place for me.

[StyrbjornStarke]

@DOitTOtheCROWD Awesome dude

[adeleellie6]

@DOitTOtheCROWD Love that sentiment.

[bellaggio1770]

@DOitTOtheCROWD A true intellectual he was. 

[dloold]

@DOitTOtheCROWD now theres a beautiful car, what color was it?

[DOitTOtheCROWD]

@dloold White. The thing was totally cherry.

[wayneangie1]

What's up with all this stereotyping with music is concerned? Hmmm.. Let me c now ya gotta be black to listen to rap and ya gotta be white to listen to Bob Seger and others like him? Sorry I enjoy all types of music and ya don't have to be a certain color to enjoy any kind of music!!!! People have such narrow minds!!! All stereotyping!!! Straighten up and just enjoy music and LIFE!!!!!!!

[freenachos]

Ugh. Why is video editing software so easy to get...

[paul190169]

geweldig, zo worden ze niet meer gemaakt.

[jeanie2020]

[44nixter]

Bloody Hell, I am a Brit who lived in the old 'devil county' a few years ago... we all know that Hollywood is false... what with 1 glittering silver boulavard and 163 avenues of trolley pushers... But you can't get away from the fact that this tune is fantastic, because thank god I am neither on the boulavard or beyond it !! Hallelujahh

[crispee78]

34 dislikes? are you fuking kidding me?34 people need rehab cos this is rock as its meant to be,, simple as!!!

[barbiebritt100]

[suessful]

The pure energy in this music is just astounding.  It's like opera!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Bob and the band hit #12 in Billboard, 10-7-78. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[arweninkashmir]

quithatin22, dude you are a joke. lol i'm not even going to write this as a 'reply' because i'm actually scared you might come rape me. that last comment is probably the most retarded thing i'm going to read on youtube today, thank you, now i can go pretend i beg black guys to sleep with me. haha fucking yeah right, other way around buddy. have a good one fiddling on macbook making 'music'.

[emriederek]

Oh, ok, whatever. Glad you get your fill, or whatever. Maybe married life will change you, or not. Have a nice life.

[TheIoniaboy]

" He spent all night looking down at the lights of L.A. wondering if he could ever go home ". This midwestern boy has been there and done that. Bob Segers genuis is that he's an ordinary guy who shares life with ordinary people. Michigans poet/storyteller.

[titohuertas]

Yeah, driving over the speed limit, in a deserted highway, with the sunset rays filling the cabin, and listening to this song at a high volume.. !! That's heaven..

[acesn8s70]

@QuitHatin22 You definitely have no Musical Knowledge Rap is not black or white Music It is inner city down trodden people music. In the begining when rap began to become mainstream all cultures were embraced to be a part of it. It is only black culture that has tried to sepperate it from white culture. As a matter of public record Rapture by Deborah Harry and Blondie was The very first Rap video on MTV. Grow up a bit and study more then Maybe we can have an intellectual music conversation

[QuitHatin22]

@acesn8s70 Rap is black music. Yes some white singers tried to imulate it just like white people try to take our sound , look and style. MTV played Blondie's song Rapture but it never played Sugar Hill Gang, the first rap song ever. MTV never played black music period back in the day. As far as intellectual you can't even spell. As far as down trodden thats what you are.

[acesn8s70]

@QuitHatin22 Why be so racist? My culture was damn near wiped out and I dont hold a grudge. And research a little more on rap/hip hop. It was not just blacks it was anybody in the beginning. I know I lived through the birth of it. Whites black hispanics who ever was welcomed into it. Was not till bands like two live crew and ice T came on the scene did it get violent and hate filled.I am native american and I was popping in 1981. We all did my white friends my black friends and my cuban friends

[emriederek]

Guess that makes alll those great black rappers really big men or something, huh..."putting notches on the old head board"...hope they like AIDS or other diseases. Nothing against interracial relationships, but many rappers are known to use foul (ed) mouths when discussing their women (and other subjects as well); probably some great women they sleep with, ones that appreciate be called whore, bitch, etc. (Low self esteem, or maybe they finally fell for a "quality man".) Just one opinion!

[QuitHatin22]

@emriederek. Look I know you are upset that your own white women don't want you. That they sleep with black rappers. Black rappers don't feel that sleeping with white women makes them big. They are just used and then discarded. See white men you had to rape our women. Where as your women beg to be with a black man

[jackiebaron]

Great track. Getting seduced, chewed up and spat out by a black widow of a woman is just part of life. Been there. It hurts but I still smile about it. Good man, Bob Seger.

[zedmanZ9]

Timeless !!

[colibridorado7]

lo escuchè durante mi adolescencia...me fascinaba...

[MrPaddy321]

[1955papichulo]

Some of the best nights of my life were "Hollywood Nights" .... thanks for putting this cool video together!

[biggy7700]

Over the top effects? All you did was turn the florecent lighting off and the gradients on, still a great song.

[kirstylb1983]

Im sure the lead singer of kings of leon got his inspiration from BOB

[kingofthecouch1]

[suessful]

This is such a great driving song! Back in the late 90's I was driving late at night on the highway this song came on, before I knew it I got my little old Chevy Nova up to 90 mph... I didn't think that was possible with that car.

P.S. I didn't get nabbed by the cops. :)

[lovecarolyn2009]

[TheSkyTripper]

Awesome scenes to a true classic!

Thanks ;)

[davedoubledeks]

What i would call " a timeless classic "!

[roomfullofidiots]

[themoshmenace]

It looks like that one picture is out of Hustler magazine. Typical of the type of women seen there.

[number1philsfan]

i don't understand why people that are rap (a.k.a. dog shit) fans have to come on all of these videos and say that they suck when in reality they don't because people like bob seger use vocals and instruments, if you don't like these videos then stay the hell away from them.

[kazraz72]

@number1philsfan Well said. Fuck that rap 'music'.

[rawman44]

@number1philsfan They say they suck because they're jealous rap will never be near as good as this.

[QuitHatin22]

@rawman44 Jealous of what, how many black women can Bob Seger slept with? And how many white women can black rappers sleep with.? I'll tell you, Billions

[rawman44]

@QuitHatin22 I just said what they're jealous of, I guess you can't read or something. Just a guess

[jityr2]

@number1philsfan Yeah I stay away from rap videos even though it's tempting to criticize them.

[QuitHatin22]

@jityr2 You say you stay away from rap videos. Don't worry no rapper, producer or music exec would ever want you in one.

[jityr2]

@QuitHatin22  good

[QuitHatin22]

@number1philsfan Look rap is mostly sung by black artist. Just like rock and roll was sung by black artist. To name a few Little Richard, Chuck Berry. White men have stolen many black artist songs and style all thru the ages. When it comes to music Black people period are number one.

Rap has influenced generations of people of all races. Rap is black music. Bob siegar will never do that.

[number1philsfan]

@QuitHatin22 yep let's see ummmm over 70 rappers in jail....how many rock singers like Bob Seger or country artists are in jail....thanks. and yep influenced people to shoot bitches smoke weed and run from the po pos great influences

[Xais56]

@number1philsfan I dont get why people are so bigoted to music styles they don't listen to, you're as bad as the 'dog shit' fans who comment on videos innapropriately. Music is music, jsut chill and enjoy

[number1philsfan]

@Xais56 one you're an idiot because unless you have had access to my ears you have no idea what genre of music i have listened to in my lifetime and two i'm replying to all the rap fans who comment on videos such as this so my first comment has nothing to do with you.

[Bllasae]

@number1philsfan

They're scared by real music, apparently.

[rvelliqu]

@Bllasae Jealous.

[Bllasae]

@rvelliqu

If you mean they're jealous, then yes.

[Bassisbeastiful]

this sucks ass

[MrClassicrock85]

@Bassisbeastiful Lets see a better music video made by you!!!

I am probably speaking for everybody here!

[madcapper6]

I'm pretty sure that the midwestern boy he sings about in the song is actually Bob S himself. Came from Michigan, which is considered the midwest, and relocated to southern cali years ago. He refers to the dude in the song in the 3rd person but I really think it's himself he's singing about. True classic through and through.

[joyceeslillad]

Allways in my top 5,I've just replayed this 6 times,truely infecious

[Proteus6684]

Hey everyone I just discovered something great. work out the like v dislike ratio of good music to stupid music(~i.e. lady gaga) by dividing dislikes into likes and that gives you the ratio:1. It totally proves that good music is just that,good. so next time someone says 50cent is better than muse say just go and mathimatically prove them wrong :)

[roomfullofidiots]

@Proteus6684 "if it sounds good, it is good" - Duke Ellington

[highlanderclan]

This Song was Inspired by Bob Seger While he was writing the rifts to this song when He seen a pic of Cheryl Tiegs in a Red Bikini in 1978, He thought what chance would a Mid Western boy have with a girl like that...Fact...!...:)

[meltdowner]

I love this song but when I searched for it on iTunes I came across a slightly different version. Any idea where I can get this version of the song?

[ThePhatts]

The song is great im not gunna lie. But I had to turn my monitor off and just listen, terrible video.

"some really over the top video effects near the end"

Your video "effects" are complete garbage and shouldnt be over-hyped. Zooming in and out and distorting images isnt effects lol.

[Undead1036]

Woop 4 good comments, none of that "33 people are in Hollywood shit"

-_-

[TheTinman47]

This song always sounds good - anytime of day

[Harshcore811]

Cool vid. Good work. All LA.

[ThePaulsmith1962]

Erm aren't you driving on the wrong side of the road? :D

[JackFlanders]

You know, the sad part is that music today really cannot compare to the "old stuff." It is really amazing how songs from 30-40 years ago are still considered great.

[budnboston]

@JackFlanders right because really what compares to the incredible guitar rifts in this thing , sorry but why is ABBA or Carly Simon still listened to , because these oldies artists actually took the time to labor on their songs , its like old buildings which took years to build , no one today wants to spend any long term effort on creating lyrics and melodies because there is no money in it - today its just fast and furious , this song is a crafted work of art - nothing today compares

[MrCoal11]

What does Carmen Electra have to do with this song? Why not Jenna Jameson?

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

@MrCoal11 HEY why not SEKA,,,

[highlanderclan]

@MrCoal11 Exactly she has nothing to do with it, That happens to be Cheryl Teigs...! Bob Seger While playing the Rifts to this song Was inspired by a pic he seen of Cheryl Tiegs in a Red Bikini in 1978... So this song was inspired by Cherl Tiegs ... Fact...!

[highlanderclan]

@MrCoal11

[RVBOY2]

Is that Carmen Electra?

[TOMMYTOMA4]

[PedroStephano]

The video is secondary to the song, but it deffo gives great support. Good job
