the MODERN LOVERS "Roadrunner" 1972

You can really hear the Velvets influence on this song. Love it!

This was played at Bianca Jagger’s infamous birthday party at Studio 54 in 1977.

Definitely mid ‘70’s & superb - loved it then & for sure, love it now.
Jane Russell, roadrunner twice

I'd love this song even if I hadn't cruised 128 in the mid-60s. Radio on!

Sex pistols should be grateful .

My dad farted and this song came out of his butt.

Is this version available on Apple music anywhere?

Jonathan Richman's love letter to Massachusetts.

The freedom of this song... When your young and running the roads you never wanted it to end...the sad part was you usually ended up where you started....

what are the clips in the first few seconds from before kevin lynchs footage

The driving footage is not

Rte 128... 🤔

THIS is the song that should play at the end of every Boston sports franchise's home victory. Retire "Dirty Water" already. This is far more celebratory, more joyous, more Boston.

Three different versions of this song he recorded. This is the best! Number 3!

una de las mejores canciones de la historia. no es una hipérbole ni un pensamiento repentino, es lo que es.

Fantastica

I got here via Reddit about rt128. It's so cool !

1972, Ii didn’t know I was this old

Anyone also noticed the "white light/white heat" esque organ?

Grew up in Central MA and lived and worked in Eastern MA most of my life, ad spent a ton of time in Boston. Would love to see this video in slow motion though.

Where is all the traffic? Boston is a clusterfk now. Worst city in America to drive in. 😮

I need to go for a drive now....

Brilliant song great reason to give it the full welly on a bike!

John Cale = This is great because of him - the man behind the Velvet Underground as well as produced this (his) song

Kind of a mix of the Velvet Underground and The Archies.

Although I disavow any love for Massachusetts, this is a cool song.

I knew that this song was for me when my dad said "you can't even hear the words, it's just noise"
Back in the 70's!!!

Why is the singer playing the radio? Why doesn't he just Bluetooth his Spotify playlist through the car's sound system?

He talking bout the Plymouth Roadrunner car right??

i like the drone guitars🎉

How can I just be seeing this in 2024?

Anthony bourdain

Sounds better at 1.25 speed.

Didn't know john cale produced im a nassive vu fan

I'm like a roadrunner this describes anthony Bourdain rip chef, and me but im more a sidewalk runner

My Dad loved this song... Feel sure this was out in the UK in summer 1977.

Surched so long for that fucking song , man...
Great

Rock On

I love seeing that Bostoners didn't hold their lane in the 70s either

The song from my childhood ! ❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve heard this song before but can’t say I’m familiar with the group.
They do however sound very much like the Ramones .
Not a bad song 😊

Always thought this sounded like the Doors if they were a punk band.

Im in love with Massachusetts (8) 🎉

this is my dads favourite song and he passed away this sunday 23rd june - this song is the song he'd be if he was a song

It's hard to describe how much happiness and good vibes this song gives me every time.

Here thanks to Anthony bourdain ! RIP to somes great theacher of Thrill seeking and the joy,pleasure,adventure and openess towards of life . something that he left but didn't lack on teaching us on how to pursue with our own sensibility

i can see why talking heads recruited jerry harrison

Sex Pistols sounds like this final EMI

Alan Cross of CFNY introduced me to this. I love this song.

This actually sounds like Neu!!
Jonathan Richmond idolised Lou Reed. The two obvious forerunners of Punk were The Velvet Underground and The Stooges.

wno else saw the Modernn Lovers open for the Dolls at the Mercer Arts center on new year's eve '77? tell us about it you men!!!
