From up north.

Locked in the Trunk of a Car - The Tragically Hip

 

[nwhoopfan]

I'm gonna go ahead and guess there are more songs about Cadillacs than any other type of car.

 

[meyers7]

Geez, can't believe I didn't start with this one.

Cars - Gary Numan

 

[nwhoopfan]

Like others in this thread, the song is about a car...and whole lot more.

and youse knew that this was coming, amiright?
robert mitchum, another Bridgeport, Connecticut guy. sumdays, i kinda feel sorry for the rest of the planet since they have to face this life woefully unequipped. lol.

'As a child, Mitchum was known as a prankster, often involved in fistfights and mischief. When he was 12, his mother sent him to live with her parents in Felton, Delaware; the boy was promptly expelled from middle school for scuffling with the principal. A year later, in 1930, he moved in with his older sister Annette, in New York's Hell's Kitchen. After being expelled from Haaren High School, he left his sister and traveled throughout the country, hopping on railroad cars, taking a number of jobs, including ditch-digging for the Civilian Conservation Corps and professional boxing. At age 14 in Savannah, Georgia, he said he was arrested for vagrancy and put on a local chain gang.' wiki.
meh, no problem. 12 years in Bport is more than enuf time to learn how it be.
i wonder if he and julius boros were pals? prolly boxed a bit at the 'Pyramid Mosque' roller arena when they weren't skating.

"Now where in the city can that boy be"....?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Did I mention I've been waiting for one of these threads? I guess I could've started one, but I didn't want to be the first.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Doh! Shoulda thought of this one right away.

Marc Cohn: Silver Thunderbird

a song aboot my great gramps. one of my favorite tunes, and people. he was a ford man. 'the man with a plan, and a pocket comb...'

 

[Ozimoto]

I like this version of "Riding in My Car." This is by "She and Him", a duet consisting of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel. The NRBQ version is just a little to fast for my liking.

Classic Tom Waits spoken word:

Going way back to Robert Johnson:

 

[Bigboote]

One about car racing. Again from the Beach Boys.

 

[SCNCHuskie]

I can’t believe we’ve gone three pages into this thread and there’s no Springsteen songs. Racing in the streets. Pink Cadillac. Thunder Road. Born to run. Cadillac ranch. Used cars. Stolen car. Wreck on the highway, and my favorite, open all night.

In related songs, working on the highway, backstreets, something in the night, state trooper.

 

[Ozimoto]

And a bit of a novelty car song....

 

[Ozimoto]

Going way back to Robert Johnson:

Apparently the inspiration for Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot" according to Wikipedia...

 

[Scud49]

The Stills -Young Band, "Long May You Run". And yes, it's car related

 

[Ozimoto]

And I guess we have Carroll Shelby to thank for this one.

 

[Ozimoto]

Which leads me to this one...
