Another Bruce train song, from just a couple years back.

Burnin' Train - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

 

[Ozimoto]

Here's one that mentions a canoe.

 

[Ozimoto]

And another light hearted song with a less common way to get somewhere. Of course, now that they are electrified, a skateboard is a better option for getting around.

 

[Ozimoto]

Maybe not as sexy at a 52 Vincent or a Harley, but still a way to get around.

The Hondell's version, rather that the Beach Boys.

 

[Cuango]

 

[Cuango]

A Dr. Demento special from the early ‘70s!

Emmy Lou Harris- Pancho and Lefty:

His horse was fast as polished steel"

A lot of Who songs, but nobody went with this one:

Another bus. A party bus.

We Like To Party - Vengaboys

 

[Scud49]

Tremendous guitar song - Station Man - done by the old Fleetwood Mac:

 

[meyers7]

Don't think we've done this song yet. A Mustang is a form of transportation. (although I'm not sure that's what being .....ridden).

Video from the movie, but that is actually Andrew Strong (age 18) singing.

Mustang Sally - The Committments

 

[Ozimoto]

One of Weird Al's first songs.

 

[Ozimoto]

This one is a little more mainstream than Weird Al, but probably not that well known on this side of the pond.

 

[Bigboote]

From Jethro Tull —

Just a wee bit of a classic.

John Denver honoring Jacques Cousteau and his ship - Calypso
Watched a lot of Jacques Cousteau TV specials growing up.

I don’t like repeating artists in these threads, but I gotta post another from Ry Cooder. This is a WWII song about pilots coming back after a dogfight with “one motor gone.”

 

[CL82]

I'd like to get you on a slow boat to China.

 

[Scud49]

Crosby and Nash - The Lee Shore:

There I heard this story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here
And it's empty and free

 

[64Zcode]

A couple songs about ferryboats with completely different destinations.

Always liked this from Chris DeBurgh - Don't Pay The Ferryman.
"Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river."

 

[Scud49]

The Dead:

 

[CL82]

 

[Scud49]

Grinderswitch - Drifter:

"Ride, ride drifter, to the end of the sun"

Highwaymen - Silver Stallion, just a smidgen of musical talent on that front line:
