Music Video of the Day: Drive My Car by Breakfast Club (1988, directed by Bill Fishman)


A New York-based band that once featured Madonna on drums, Breakfast Club’s biggest hit was Drive My Car, a cover of a song that had previously been made famous by The Beatles.  The cover appeared on the soundtrack of License to Drive, one of the better films to co-star Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.

The video is the usual combination of clips from the film and scenes of the band acting crazy.  Since they were already covering a Beatles song, it made sense to go ahead and put Breakfast Club in a 1980s version of Hard Day’s Night and have them spend most of the video trying to escape their obsessed fans.  Luckily, they’ve got an invisible car.

Breakfast Club split up shortly after the release of License to Drive.

Enjoy!

  1. “A New York-based band that once featured Madonna on drums…”

    I am struggling to digest the notion of Madonna having enough talent to play drums. Likewise, I am wrestling with the idea of Madonna being humble enough to sit in the back seat of a band.

    “Luckily, they’ve got an invisible car.”

    Unfortunately, this song sold invisible records.
