This is a clip from the Agora Ballroom in West Hartford, CT that was televised on "Friday Night Concert" in 1986.
Or as we say in RI... Ridin in my cah.
One of the many great songs penned by Big Al Anderson!
Remember last summer
when we had the chance
to find each other,
start making romance
but it didn't come off
cause you found another
without one hand of a clock,
what good is the other?
and I can't find no true love,
Oh baby, It's so hard
and I still think about you
every time I'm Ridin' in my car
Well, I went to the place
where ev'rybody hangs out
To see what ev'rybody
was talkin' about
and over in the corner
all alone with you
was a boy from last summer
singin' songs to you
but he can't sing like I can sing
Oh, It's so hard
and I still think about you
every time I'm Ridin' in my car
Oh, when I'm home alone
I can think of other things to do
but when I'm rollin' in forward motion,
I think about only you.
It's been a year and a day
since I talked to you
I don't know how I made it,
but I sure have been blue.
And Every time I think about
what might have been
I jump in my car
and start ridin' again.
and I can't find no true love,
Oh baby, It's so hard
and I still think about you
every time I'm Ridin' in my car
(solo)
and I can't find no true love,
Oh baby, It's so hard
and I still think about you
every time I'm Ridin' in my car
and I still think about you
every time I'm Ridin' in my car
Ridin' in my car
and I still think about you
when I'm Ridin' in my car
Can't forget you went Ridin' in my car
Great song and great band. I live in CT where these guys are from so they were big here. We do a harder rock version of this song for our summertime gigs and everybody still loves NRBQ...at least here they do!

There is something universal about unrequited love that is neither commercial nor easy. Yet the song is really easy on the ears.

Oh man! I saw so many great shows at The Agora back then. This has always been one of my favorite tunes and I still play it at my acoustic shows. I live down south now and many people have no idea who NRBQ is.

Yes, Toad's Place was their second home for many years. Saw them there countless times.

Read this cause it actually works. You will be kissed on the nearest friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However if you don't post this to at least three video's then you will die within two days. Now you have started reading this don't stop. This is so scary. put it on at least five video's in the next 143 minutes and when you are done press f6 and your lovers name will appear on the screen in big letters. this is scary cause it works
