goose Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Arndrake Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margana Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
