defrogOne of the interesting things about listening to music when yr a kid is the lack of context. You just react to the song itself without knowing anything about the history of the artist or band. Sometimes they don’t have much history at all, of course. Sometimes they have far more history than you’d suspect.
Like Bob Seger.
I liked “Night Moves” a lot when I first heard it on the radio. And of course I had no idea who Seger was, or the fact that he started in Detroit in the early 60s. I just thought the song sounded cool.
Still, it didn’t really make me much of a Seger fan. Or maybe it did, but pretty much every song he released after this got so much airplay that I got tired of hearing him. Hey, “Turn The Page” is a really song, but when you hear it four times a day for most of high school, the shine wears off.
Anyway, I still like this one – maybe because it's been long enough since the last time I heard it. Or maybe because it's all about having sex in the back seat of a car – an all-American activity I'd recommend to anyone.
And I speak from experience, yo.
FUN FACT: The video for this was made in 1994, almost 20 years after the single was released.
Notice the CMT logo. Because this apparently counts as country music now. (Kind of like how Boston now counts as Soft Rock.)
If you click through to the YouTube site, notice also the adult-content warning.
Also, in case you were wondering, yes that IS Daphne Zuniga and that guy from Friends.
In the back seat,
This is dF
