Car Songs

OK, so I searched for a thread on Favorite Car Songs and didn't find one.

Soooooo, I thought I would start a fun thread.

What is your favorite song(s) about a car/cars or a song that has cars included in theme. Lets keep it to 3 per post.

Mine are:

1) Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen (sorry, Ford I know)
2) Highway Star by Deep Purple
3) Autobahn by Kraftwerk (though u have to understand German)

That thread does have some nice car tunes, but a lot of them are DRIVING TUNES. A car tunes, IMO, should be about or involve a car. "Rock and Roll" by Zeppelin is a great driving song, the right foot keeping keeping closer to the floor, but it is not a car song. "Long May You Run" by Neil Young is a great car song, but it doesn't make me want to see the speedomter climb. Just my two cents, all in fun.

P.S. How could I have forgotten Detriot Rock City, I have been a KISS fan since I was 5.

Rocket 88 by Ike Turner. Some consider it the first rock and roll song.

I could come up with a whole other topic of songs that aren't necessarily about cars but seem to have a strange affect on how heavy my right foot gets

There was a song about a grudge match I heard years ago on a TNT truck pulling video
The sing says something like coming back when his car is better tuned that was most of what I can remember but from what i remember it was cool.

-"Racing In The Street"

-"Promised Land"

-"Badlands"

All by Bruce Springsteen from "Darkness On The Edge Of Town." "Badlands" isn't a car song- but it's always good for an extra 10-15 mph when I hear it...
