OT: Songs with cars in the title or lyrics

[bantamlaker]

With the WNBA season over and nearly a month until First Night it’s time for some more music threads. I was a longtime lurker before joining this year and don’t remember a thread about cars. You can use cars in the title, in the lyrics or in the name of the group. If you’re using a line in the lyrics you may want to quote it. We’ll include songs about the road.

Okay, I'll play. Should be plenty of material to work with for this thread.

Early guess is there are more songs about Cadillacs than any other type of car.

Johnny Cash song about a Frankenstein's monster of a car.

I usually have a strong tendency to post songs with female singers....but I think boys are much more inclined to sing songs about cars than women are. I'll have to put on my thinking cap to come up w/ a few exceptions.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, here's one from a woman that's not about the car specifically, but driving away in one. But it's a break up song.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ah, here's Nanci Griffith with a song about a car. But it's yet again about fleeing a relationship. I'll be interested to see a song posted on here by a woman that is unabashedly about loving a car.

The Hot Rod Lincoln

"Long black limousine, shiniest car I've ever seen."





edited--Emmylou snuck in there doing background vocals, never a bad thing

in honor of Aretha Franklin

 

[nwhoopfan]

not the only song about a pink Cadillac (you might prefer the Springsteen version but this one is distinct in my memory of the 80s)

I knew there were a bunch of songs about Cadillacs. Again gonna eschew the Springsteen version of a song, I prefer NGDB.

Could this be a stolen cover? It certainly was fun.

1951 First Rock Song ?

How about a double dip? I met Rick two years ago in a Best Buy. He wore this very same outfit and boy, was he and it filthy! I still tried to convince him to try Hi-Rez players and downloads though.

Janis...

1951 First Rock Song ?

I'm going with Goree Carter and "Rock Awhile" as the first, although I prefer The Chords "Sh-Boom" as the first to put it all together.
