Synopsis

Geggy Tah turns everyday freeway etiquette into a cheerful road-trip spectacle. The band performs "Whoever You Are" from inside and around a moving car, while vintage driving-safety footage adds an intentionally old-fashioned visual counterpoint. The song's simple act of thanking an anonymous driver who makes room in traffic becomes a broader celebration of courtesy, patience, and communal good humor. Broadcast-style imagery and playful performance scenes give the video an offbeat, homemade quality that matches the track's optimistic funk-pop spirit.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video combines footage of Tommy Jordan, Greg Kurstin, and Daren Hahn performing while driving with scenes from an old driving-safety film.
  • "Whoever You Are" originated with Tommy Jordan, who wrote the song's central idea as a child. He intended it as a way of thanking considerate drivers and cheering up his father, who could become frustrated in traffic.
  • The single came from Geggy Tah's 1996 album "Sacred Cow." It later reached No. 16 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
  • The song gained renewed exposure when it was used in a Mercedes-Benz television commercial around 2001, several years after the album's release.
  • Greg Kurstin, seen in the video as part of Geggy Tah, later became a prominent songwriter and producer outside the band.

Lyrics

All I wanna do is to thank you
even though I don't know who you are
You let me change lanes
while I was driving in my car. . .

Whoever you are
I wanna thank you who...

Now all I wanna do is to exit
So I go to where I can get off
On a curve, through the shoulder
There's no parking in that trough
So I drive around all day
Coming atmospheric haze
