Sunday Driver
Hudson Brothers Lyrics

The Hudson Brothers' song "Sunday Driver" is a fun, upbeat tune with a cheeky and somewhat suggestive theme. The song describes a guy who is out driving with a female companion, who we can assume is his date or girlfriend. Initially, they seem to be taking a leisurely Sunday drive, but as the song progresses, we realize that the driver is perhaps more focused on other things than the road. The lyrics suggest that he's got his hands off the wheel and that the lady beside him is "down on the floor." The song then takes a slightly racier turn as the couple's exploration of each other becomes more intense. The lady in question begins to ask for more, and we learn that she has her legs across the seat and her feet out the door. As the song builds, we get the sense that the couple is moving faster than is probably safe, with the lady "knowing he's playing some kind of swell." Finally, the song ends with the couple speeding off into the sunset - or, more likely, into oblivion, as the repeated "beep beep Sunday driver" refrain implies that there's something not quite right about this joyride.

While the lyrics of the song might be seen as a little risque, they're delivered with such a light touch that it's hard to take them too seriously. The Hudson Brothers' breezy harmonies and the catchy, upbeat melody make it easy to forget that we're listening to a song about teenage sex in a moving vehicle. The song is one of those sing-along classics that you might hear at a school dance or a retro-themed party. For many people, "Sunday Driver" conjures up images of a simpler time, before the dangers of distracted driving became apparent. In the context of the song, the idea of driving without your hands on the wheel and your attention elsewhere is played for laughs, but in real life, it's a serious problem that can lead to accidents and even tragedy.
