"Low Rider" by War (1975)

Dad's Song of the Day #130, Jan. 6, 2026

I don’t have a great deal of insight into War’s “Low Rider”, except to say that I can’t imagine anyone not doing a groovy little shoulder-shimmy when they hear it.

Also—admit it—you’re croaking along in your lowest possible register, aren’t you.

…And, no, you can’t try that with our car.

This series is for my two 19-year-olds, who moved off to school with the misguided belief they’d escaped their dad’s relentless nostalgia and monopolization of the car stereo. I’m very happy for anyone else to come along for the ride.
