Weekly Finale: Driver's Seat

Yes it is Friday, and that means another edition of the weekly musical finale.

This week's finale centers on a one-hit wonder, Sniff 'N' The Tears, and their lone hit from 1978, "Driver's Seat":



It's not exactly a deep song. According to Paul Roberts, the song's writer, it is about the "fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow the break-up of a relationship". So is Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U", and it is a far better song.

Where "Driver's Seat" succeeds is the music, with a driving beat (pardon the pun) and just an overall good feeling to it, even though the song is technically about heartache.

As for covers, there is really only one creative cover of "Driver's Seat", and that is by D.H.T. (featuring Edmée):



That is all for me this week. so pick up your feet and enjoy this weekend, and come on back here Monday.
