"Drivers Seat" by Sniff n The Tears Monday Music.

I set this song as the ringtone for when my son calls me,   I did this part of the post back in 2019 when he turned 16.   Certain people to me get a special ringtone and this one is my Son's, LOL  I set the ringtone the day he started driving.(This was the series of pics I was looking for, will make sense later, LOL)

Well it is official, my son passed his drivers test and got a 100% on the driving practical. The driver instructor commented that this is the first time she ever gave out a 100% and he was in earshot, wow, talk about swelling his head. I guess all that driving we had him do paid off, he drove very confidently on the course and on the road. We are proud, but nervous. Egads...we will be establishing a " gofundme" for the insurance, lol. 

                                        I quickly took a picture of the score....

 He is getting ready to depart for the first time by himself...setting up his music and other important stuff that is important for teenagers..

Here he is departing to go to the Boy Scout camp to work the requirements of his last merit badge before his Eagle project in August.
Strange seeing my truck departing without me driving it....I was having momentary flashbacks of..

 Well anyway, I contacted my insurance company USAA and officially added him as a licensed driver and  my insurance from $2400 a year to $6000....Holy Chit.....  I drive a 20 year old truck and the spousal unit drives a 10 year old Edge.  Sheesh.  We are checking into defensive driver and my son qualifies for the A&B grade discount, I am hopeful that this drops my insurance to a more manageable level.   The Joys of living near the ATL. 

  I heard this song on the "70's" channel when I was driving to work and I vaguely remember this song when it first came out in 1978.  It was a bit different than the disco that was still prevalent at this time.   I thought the band had a lot of talent but this song was their only hit to make the billboard.

"Driver's Seat" is a 1978 song by the Welsh band Sniff 'n' the Tears that appears on their debut album, Fickle Heart. The band is considered a one-hit wonder as "Driver's Seat" was their only hit.
The genesis of the song dates back to 1973 and a demo tape recorded for a French record label by singer/guitarist Paul Roberts for the band Ashes of Moon. However, that band broke up and, at the suggestion of drummer Luigi Salvoni, Roberts re-formed it as Sniff 'n' the Tears with guitarists Laurence "Loz" Netto and Mick Dyche and bassist Nick South. They shopped the demo tape and signed with the small Chiswick label in 1977.

According to Paul Roberts, "Driver's Seat" isn't about driving, but rather "fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow the break-up of a relationship". One of the key decisions in arranging the song was to start with drums and additively bring in other instruments.
"Driver's Seat" reached number 15 on the American Billboard Pop Singles chart in the fall of 1979, and reached the top 10 in The Netherlands in November 1980.
