Question
Well there is this slow pop-balad song with BIG drums and a lot of synth in the background. A blonde man sings it and the video clip starts with him sitting on a chair in the middle of a dark room with one leg lied as if tired while the camera moves slowly and then shows a dark-haired woman lying on the floor of another room and the chorus goes sthg like that: "Whose gonna take you home tonight". Can you help me with the title? I really love this song! I will grandly appreciate it!

Answer
hey alex, i'm not too certain but i have a hunch that the song song you had in mind was "Drive" by The Cars. its indeed a great great 80s pop-ballad written from the perspective of someone wondering if anyone will be there for him when he needs someone. The video stars supermodel Paulina Porizkova. The song "Drive" draws a lot of personal sentiments to different people as it hits them in different ways. "You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong...who's gonna drive you home tonight?", that line says it all.

The 80s: a decade where the music was grand. i learned a great deal on the wonderworkings of new wave artists; those pop-rock ditties were remarkable, yet the laid-back love songs were always as good as it was then. as regards artists and their songs,i maybe of help though i'm partial to rap,country,and metal. I am also a smooth jazz junkie and may have infos to take you along a splendid music cruise in our time.
