Default Car, Motorcycle, and Driving Themed Songs
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.

STRONG
Chauffeur - Duran Duran
409 - Beach Boys
Shut Down - Beach Boys
Little Duce Coupe - Beach Boys
Our Car Club - Beach Boys
Dead Man's Curve - Jan and Dean
I'm In love with My Car - Queen
Hey, little Cobra - The Rip Cords
Little GTO - Ronnie and the Daytonas
Little Red Corvette - Prince
Hot Rod Lincoln - Charlie Ryan and The Livingston Brothers
Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett
Drive - The Vibrators
We Ride'n -Kingspade
Bat outta Hell-Meat Loaf
Speed – Montgomery Gentry
Ride the Wind - Poison
Get out of Denver-Bob Seger
Greased Lightning - Soundtrack of "Grease"
Hopped-up Mustang - Arlen Sanders
Flirtin with Disaster - Molly Hatchet
455 Rocket - Kathy Mattea
Chrome - Trace Adkins
I can't drive 55 - Sammy Hagar
Fuel - Metallica
Born to Run - Bruce Springstein
Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf
Turn the Page - Bob Seger
No Particular Place to Go - Chuck Berry
Roadrunner - Modern Lovers
Ol’ 55 - Tom Waits
Z28 - Cult of Static
Shut Up and Drive - Rihanna
Drive like I Never Been Hurt - Ry Cooder

WEAK
Drive - The Cars
Paradise by the Dashboard Lights – Meatloaf

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.

Shut down
409
Hey, little Cobra
Dead Man's Curve
I'm In Love with MY Car

Just took a look at the video. Saw that one at the album release party at the Palace in Hollywood. Damn, in this video they "covered" up the best part.

If you don't know these songs I could sing them to you.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

I can't believe I left that one out.

There is another one about a seat belt and falling asleep at the Drive-in. Can't remember the name.

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


So any song that even mentions a vehicle<

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.

Before I deluge you with EVERY song that even mentions a vehicle, what are some guide lines.
