Car, Motorcycle, and Driving Themed Songs

[Vettezuki]

GUIDELINES
It is preferred that the primary subject of the song be a car, motorcycle or driving. However, there is a little grey area here. If a song is just somehow evocative of driving that's acceptable, but perhaps a bit weak. Consider Drive by The Cars as a borderline case. Maybe we'll have two branches, strong and weak.

Rio is actually the first album I ever bought. I mowed some guys lawn and paid like $7 for a cassette in about 84'. Cool album actually.

You feel bad about missing that one. How about

Drive - The Cars

[BRUTAL64]

You feel bad about missing that one. How about

Drive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBLGlb-MOGg) - The Cars



I do know it's not about a "CAR"--it's about a broken heart.:p


So any song that even mentions a vehicle<:huh:

Yeah, it's kinda borderline. But I ALWAYS had the image of driving in my mind with this. The language is evocative of driving in some sense. :huh:

How 'bout "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal? :motorsmile:

How 'bout "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal? :motorsmile:

Holy Crap, I thought I could get obscure. A+ for gunfish :hail:

There's gotta be a story behind why you know that song.

You know, the first time I heard it we were hanging out at Sean Plunk's Grandma's house after dinner, listening to records (yeah, good ol' LP's on a turntable. For all of you youngsters out there, google it!)
Anyway, the lights were low and we started talking about and playing songs that creeped us out. The 2 songs that stuck in my memory were "Warm Leatherette" and "DOA" by Bloodrock.

Creepy but cool memories! :eek:

How that heck did that album end up at that house I wonder??? That is some wayyy obscure stuff. That's like something you'd learn about in an electronic music class at university OR in the original somewhat underground scene and that's about it. Wow.

I'm sure those were through the courtesy of "The Old Man" aka Sean Plunk's pop. He and I enjoyed some of those obscure little nuggets, especially a group called "The Residents".

Before anyone thinks we were too funky, I also remember a fall afternoon where most of the same bunch sat around spinning albums from "The Monkees." Wait.....that could be the definition of funky - or sad.

I was waiting for that one. :smack: I'll check the lyrics of some of the other ones as I'm not completely familiar with them, and add accordingly. Some of them I know but never associated with cars or driving, but maybe I wasn't listening to the lyrics so closely.

Metallica - Fuel

Has anyone mentioned this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsmUvE7Pips

[BRUTAL64]

Did anyone mention "Radar Love"?

[Vettezuki]

Did anyone mention "Radar Love"?

You just did.

[TimAT]

Radar Love is one of those songs that starts with you driving at 55 and ends with you driving 95. But I do that with Orange Blossom Special too. My Bad.

Maybe another thread for those songs that make you drive too fast?
