"'Sitting at the Wheel'" is a 1983 hit single by The Moody Blues, written by John Lodge. It was released in the US as the lead-off single from 'The Present' in August 1983 and debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 3, 1983. In the UK, "Sitting at the Wheel" was released in November 1983 as the second single from 'The Present', following "Blue World".
'Cash Box' said "Sitting at the Wheel" was worth the long wait since the Moody Blues' previous US single, "The Voice," and that "bright, brassy keyboard flourishes give ELO-style orchestration and pumping bass rhythms a strong forward thrust."
"Sitting at the Wheel" peaked at #27 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 and #3 on the 'Billboard' Mainstream Rock chart. It peaked at #91 in the UK.
