Who doesn’t love Eric Carmen’s Make Me Lose Control?! That classic singalong chorus. The video has some shots of a faux 50′s carhop drive in. Interestingly Make Me Lose Control was released solely as a single and not on an album (although it would later appear on Carmen’s Greatest Hits album). Turn the radio up for that sweet sound…
