Noway José, it´s not Pioneer it´s the song they used, didn´t you listen? This commercial made me buy that song and 30 years later I still love it.
Sniff 'n' The Tears - "Driver's Seat"
That song just asks for another golden oldie, oh oh is this going to be that type of show? Yes, I think so but let's see.
The Cars - Drive
Talking about golden oldies, now this is a funny one because if you know the song you would almost think that Roy did a cover.
WRONG!
He died before the song was ever released hence Cyndi used it first but this is how the song was meant to sound.
Roy Orbison - I Drove All Night
Now this next one is a cover, for the simple reason I thought it would be too cheesie to play the original and get stuck in a golden oldies trip.
Passenger | Fast Car (Tracy Chapman cover)
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
I guess these girls were in that old-fashioned Rawhide mood when they recorded this classic.
“Rollin’” (Limp Bizkit) Country Cover by Robyn Adele Anderson ft Sarah Krauss & Julianne Daly
Now let's put my foot down and push that pedal to the metal. Full speed ahead because we have had a very slow start so we need to go the distance.
CAKE - The Distance

What the fluff is midnight gems?
Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.
My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.
Who the fluff am I?
Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.
Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.
