  • Could be "Fire" by Bruce Springsteen, or the Pointer Sisters, or Babyface (they've all done versions).
  • 1) "Fire Lyrics Artist(Band):Babyface written by Bruce Springsteen (1979) performed by Babyface & Des'ree I'm riding in your car you turn on the radio you're pulling me close I just say no I say I don't like it But You know I'm a liar 'Cause when we kiss Ooh... Fire" Source: http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Fire-lyrics-Babyface/4A684A10F936838D4825686C002CEF48 ""Fire" is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and originally intended for use by Elvis Presley. It was first recorded by Robert Gordon in 1978, who received some modest album oriented rock radio airplay with it. It was then recorded and released by The Pointer Sisters later in 1978, who gained a major hit from it, reaching number two in early 1979 on the U.S. pop chart. Although he performed the song live from his 1978 tour onwards, Springsteen himself did not release his own recording of the song until his 1986 Live/1975-85 album, which contains his (heavily edited, to eliminate on-stage hijinks) 1978-12-16 performance. This version was released as a single, which did not succeed, reaching only number 46 on the U.S. pop chart. A music video for the song was released at the time, but confusingly showed a completely unrelated 1986 acoustic performance at a Bridge School Benefit concert. "Fire" was recorded again by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Des'ree in 1998, for the soundtrack of Hav Plenty."

  • Something I always thought was interesting about the Pointer Sisters version of 'Fire'..... was when you listened to that song on the famous KFRC station in San Francisco, they overdubbed the word 'radio' in the song to 'KFRC'. So you'd hear.... "I'm riding in your car, you turn on KFRC". Classic.
