Favorite Car Songs?

Recommended Posts

So, by now we should all know that Slime hates red barchetta. However, I recently learned that he is not completely opposed to the musical car homage.

 

So, what's your favorite car song. Mine is..."I'm in Love with my Car", penned & performed by Roger Taylor, with Queen, of course. Specifically, the Live Killers version.

Hell yes that works!!

I would just as well put in the "MONTROSE" cd in my car with windows down and blast the whole record!!!!


Great call!!

The first Montrose album is one of the greatest records on the earth!!

Rock Candy kills!

 

By the way, I noticed that there's been no mention of...Panama! Van Halen's answer to a critic's claim that all they sang about was chicks and cars...and they'd never put out a single car song - until then.

I'll probably get flamed for this one, and it's not a favorite, but...

 

Little Red Corvette - Prince

 

 

For Oldies, there was:

 

Hot Rod Lincoln - Charlie Ryan (originally Hot Rod Race by Arkie Shibley And His Mountain Dew Boys)

 

Dead Man's Curve- Jan & Dean

Excellent choice and a truly killer song. The two solos kick some serious amounts of ass. 1022.gif

Anyone remember Aretha Franklin riding on the Freeway of Love in her pink Cadillac?

Beauty! rofl3.gif

 

Which reminds me of Springteen's ode to the Pink Cadillac (crushed velvet seats...)

Impressive list by Rushead666.

Since he is a Saxon fan, I'm suprised that he missed "Wheels of Steel"

also "Souped up Ford" by Rory Gallagher.

Not being picky but surely "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden isn't a car song - its about a battle like the Charge of the Light Brigade!
