I've scrolled through the previous pages and was surprised to NOT see this song already posted. Early Beach Boys:

 

[Jackcatscal]

Sugar Magnolia blossom's blooming
Head's all empty and I don't care
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew she'd have to come up soon for air...

She can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive...

 

[Jackcatscal]

Truckin' got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin' like the doodah man
Together, more or less in line
Just keep truckin' on...
What a long strange trip it's been...

This was on the "Low Budget" album, a great piece of work that I think was very unappreciated. It also had songs like this and Captain America which spoke to what was going on in the world at the time. The"(Wish I could fly like) Superman" song has one of my favorite Kinks lines: "I'd like to fly, but I can't even swim."

 

[Bigboote]

Geez, the Beach Boys did a lot of songs about cars. When I was little, my older siblings had the single of Surfin' USA, which had this as the B side. It's about a drag race between a Corvette and a V-8 Dart.

 

[Bigboote]

I heard this one on the radio (college station) in the late 80's and was never able to find it. Then it showed up on his 3-disc set Orphans. I couldn't believe mu luck when it came on.

What makes it time for music? I don't think it is. Don't I get a vote?

Of course you get a vote. But based on the number of posts in this thread, I think you're off the island.

(As for me, if I'm awake it's time for music.)

Got a Pinto and a Benz that come to bad ends in this song.

 

[YoDore]

455 Rocket
Written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Kathy Mattea had a hit with it.

"In my 455 Rocket
The kind the police drive
Couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
She was made for the straightaway
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
She's a rocket, she was made to burn"

I'm a big Kathy Mattea fan, but I pretty much worship Gillian Welch. I'm a big fan of Dave Rawlings, too, but.....Gillian Welch.

[PoppaBear]

Sammy loves his cars...and the color red

 

[64Zcode]

Lyle Lovett's album 'Pontiac' has some great music on it, the actual song 'Pontiac', however, is pretty dark.
(Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
