Remade in the '70s
Video don't match the sound... need Lyrics under video and info on this song.
Info under vids
I just can't figure the referral to "There is no Elite" in a song that had nothing to do with nothing. Just is still totally in my curiosity area. The fake black dude kinda stands out as fake.

"Driver's Seat" is a 1978 song by the British band Sniff 'n' the Tears that appears on their debut album, Fickle Heart. The band is considered a one-hit wonder, and "Driver's Seat" was that 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 reformed 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. One of the key decisions made during the recording of "Driver's Seat" was to start the song with Roberts' acoustic guitar and drums and gradually fade in other instruments.
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".
"Driver's Seat" reached #15 on the American Billboard Pop Singles chart in the fall of 1979, and reached the top 10 in The Netherlands in November 1980. It reappeared at #1 on the Dutch Top 40 eleven years later as a result of use of the song in a Pioneer commercial.
Doing all right
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away
Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life
The news is blue (The news is blue)
Had it's own way to get to you
What can I do? (What can I do? )
When I remember my time with you
Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the driver's seat
Driver's seat, driver's seat, yeah
Doing all right
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away
Driver's seat, driver's seat, yeah
Jenny was sweet
There is no elite
Pick up your feet, pick up, pick up
Pick up your feet, gonna dance the day away
Driver's seat, driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat, driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat
