Mine would have to be Kathy Matea....Rocket 455...."Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile.....baby blue with wire wheels" okay...#20 azure blue is pretty close to what Kathy is singing about here....the wheels....okay not so much....but it's my fantasy!!

so guys and gals name your favorite song..... anything goes....of course nothing beats the symphony of an Oldsmobile

 

VAN HALEN, "RUNNIN' WITH THE DEVIL" ...car seems to run faster when that song is playing!

 

Jesus drives an Oldsmobile. don't ask me who does it, found it on a post from jamesbo i think.

 

This might show my age group but, It's a beautiful morning by the rascels. Nothing like a sunny sunday morning cruising.

"Running down a dream" by Tom Petty.

He pretty much summed up my whole adventure to get my convertible.

 

There are several, Kathy's song is great (and she's a great lady too!).

I also like me some Delbert McClinton "Every Time I Roll the Dice"- "She's got a big Oldsmobeeeel, she got a dog that don't bite..."

My Travelin' Tunes list would take up pages and pages....

 

I like to just put the oldies station on the old wonder bar role all the windows down and Cruz.
Its not really my preferred music but in the old starfire it just fills right

 

"Summer of '69" for the streets and "Highway Star", well...for the highway.

 

Only have an AM radio in it now, and the speaker is dead. Oh well, you reminded me of another project I have to do.

If I had to pick a song, that would be a tough one. I would be happy with anything from Linkin Park or Metallica.

 

I love this forum, I get more credit for stuff I didn't do than anywhere.

Some guy actually thinks I know how to change an air filter. I still don't see the wing nut on top of my 69 H/O There's just this flapper thing-a-ma-jig

 

Two words: radio delete.

Or is it three words?: "block off plate".

Anyway, the sound of my car's Flowmasters is music to my ears.

 

ok i thought you linked that youtube vid to some post hereoh well it must be the add again

 

O K it was Doug De Joe and the Bloomlaters and it was Myspace may be 2blue but am not guessing anymore. OOPS

 

No problem Chad

I enjoy being famous

 

I FLICK A BOOGER ON YOU!!!

I keep thinking about monty python " I shall taunt you a second time" in that God awful miserable hilarious french accent.....YES I LIKE MONTY PYTHON. there I said it.

 

I like Ol' Monty also - I don't feel so alone on that anymore! I have many of them on the ipod to listen to at work when i NEED a good laugh...

 

The Lumberjack song is what all manly men should be playing in their manly Oldsmobiles, in Canada at least.

"I'm an Olds owner and I'm okay I sleep all night I work all day"

Took years to learn to appreciate Monty, but his stuff doesn't seem to go out of style. Some day I want to get the collection...don't have ant thing right now.

 

If you have any half price book stores in your area, Monty can often be found there in the comedy section, usually on LPs. I was introduced to Python some 25 years ago; my friend's dad was British and had many of the albums. I think he is still just as funny now...
I think the dead parrot skit was one of the best...

 

Rob,

Do you like "Ab Fab" [Absolutely Fabulous] also?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaiOpv8lOrs


What about Benny Hill?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spz8_rpE0e0

 

Never even heard of Ab Fab, but I did enjoy Benny Hill when I was young. I learned a lot from it while growing up! My mom never approved of the show for some reason...

 

Funny you say that, cause I notice the same thing... Must be the devil in the song itself...

 

Radar Love-Goldon Earring, or just about anything from Skynyrd or Jimmy Buffett

 

I like to blast the sterio listening to Sawer Brown "The race is on". I just have to watch my speed I got a couple tickets listening to that song.

 

buried by charisma by Wednesday 13

 

Green Onions by Booker T & the MGs. Many others from that era.

 

Whoa,

That one takes me back to a time when "Party" was a noun.

Cool song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar-Z_l907DY

 

Any Lynyrd Skynyrd song.

 

Do you know what one "Dead Head" said to another when they ran out of Pot?












"Ya know man, this music really sux."

 

" Rocket 88" - 1951 -Original version by Jackie Brenston with Ike Turner
This is the year before I was born.

 

Green Oinions wow that takes me back crusin and keggers, dosn't get any better then this

 

If this were a poll and only selected old pharts could vote, I'd bet a dime to a dounut, "Green Onions" would win hands down.

 

Outkast - Spottieottiedopalicious Angel

 

Speaking of Kegs

I can't believe this one hasn't made the list yet.

that's just whacked LOL

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

motown tunes....

martha and the vandellas.... heat wave, nowhere to run...

 

>_< so much to choose from! ah... lets see....

#1.0) Nickleback - Animals
#1.1) Tom Petty - Saving Grace
#1.2) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow
#1.3) Dion and the Belmonts - The Wanderer

maybe not in that order... but those are probably my favorite driving songs, until I think of something else... my #1 driving song list could hit 100 songs easily.

 

Make that 3 of us then! Most of my friends can't stand it, but I think it's hysterical

I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it?

 

Ah, good stuff, that Booker T & The MGs. I got to see them in concert a couple years back here in NYC--original lineup, too: Booker T, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Steve Cropper.

I'm partial to "Hip Hug Her", but Green Onions is definitely a classic.

I got my original stereo converted into AM/FM with an AUX line so I can plug in my iPod. From there, I record radio airchecks from the '60s and put them on my iPod nano, which will fit nicely in my ashtray. For those who aren't sure what radio airchecks are, check out this site: www.reelradio.com . I suggest starting with some of the Real Don Steel airchecks. They're some of the best quality around, and are usually nice and long (around an hour or so). In any event, that's what I plan on listening to if I ever get my car together.

Oh, and re: Monty Python, you guys do realize that's a comedy troupe, not just one guy? Wasn't sure which cast member you were talking about or just liked all of it. I'm a big John Cleese fan, but also like Eric Idle as well. Heck, they're all good.

 

I met Kathy Mettea twic ein 2008. It was the first time she hada fan sign Oldsmobile parts. Lids and vavle covers was from a 1968 Toronado.
