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)

 

Fuel by Metalica

 

"Built for speed" by the Stray Cats
Red Barchetta by Rush
Five O Ford by Reverend Horton Heat

 

heard one today."41 ford stroked and bored"

 

Booker T and the MGs
"Green Onions"
The same song from American Grafitti
When Milner and John Falfa went out to race.

Right on!

 

Ah shoot..........!!!

 

I never disagree with Bluevista but I have to on this one.

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.

George Thorogood - Highway 49
Kentucky Headhunters - Ragtop
George Thorogood - You Can't Catch Me
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Little Feat - Let it Roll
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Kathy Mattea - 455 Rocket
Little Village - She Runs Hot for Me
Alan Jackson - Crazy 'bout a Mercury
Led Zepplin - Trampled Underfoot
Ronnie Milsap - She Loves my Car
TG Sheppard - One Owner Heart

...and many more!!

 

Big Black Cadillac Blues by Lightnin Hopkins.

 

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.

 

Thanks Adam.........now I feel better !!

 

-"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...
