Songs about cars


Paul Kersey

Recommended Posts

loose/stretching with one or two but

Incubus - Drive

Chris Rea - Drivin' Home for Christmas 

Chuck Berry - Ridin' Along in my Automobile (was it in the Back to the Future OST? its nagging at me a little)

David Brent on Guitar - Free Love Freeway

Queen - Bicycle Race... yeah, I'm cheating, but having a token cyclist with one track on the list feels appropriate, take me to General Nonsense court and sue me  if you have a problem with it. Edit: actually Born to be Wild might be a better substitute if it just *has* to have an engine, but outside of the iconic "getcha motor runnin', head out on the highway" its definitely very loose for the thread.

Bicycle Race is a tremendous song to be fair.

This could get messy. Planes, boats, hovercrafts, bikes...

Anyway, my shouts.

1. I'm in love with my car (Queen)

2. Skidmarks on my heart (the Go Go's) - purely for the title

3. Paradise by the dashboard light (Meat Loaf)

4. Cadillac Ranch (Springsteen)

5. Ol' 55 (Eagles)
