    I don't know if this was a hit in the US in 1975, but it was huge in Australia. Jump in my Car by the Ted Mulry Gang.

    Unfortunately, a recent version by David Hasselhoff may have soured the original in many eyes...

    James.

    [Edit: just watched this - hmmm, I idon't think the Hoff's version is the only cringe-inducing video clip....]

    How about 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol. OK so its not a 60s/70s song, but its a good one nonetheless. IMHO though there is a better version by Natasha Beddingfield- an acoustic version.

    Her rendition is sooo good. The Snow Patrol one was good, but I heard it way too much. Thanks for that one!

    Isnt it? Its part of an album that was released. Radio 1's Live Lounge volume 2. It includes a whole host of GORGEOUS acoustic covers by various artists including a nice take on Coldplays 'The Scientist' by Avril Lavigne.

    My personal favourite however is a simply delicious cover of Dire Straits 'Romeo and Juliet' by The Killers. Both are linked here Orange. I HIGHLY recommend you download the album.

    Now thats the FINAL off-topic reply to Q_O I make in these threads.

    I hope.

    Wow!!! Wow!!!

    Looks like we're crazy threadjackers, but y'all really have to check out this album (you can find most of the tracks on you tube). Holy shnikeys!

    Now back to your regular programming:

    I have a ton of similar songs on cassette tape, but I never got around to recording them to my computer.
    I still listen to those tapes when I am working around the house.
    I always sing along, but only if I am alone because I am honestly not that good a singer. Of course the difference between me and the average 'idols' contenstant is that I know it.

    +1 on Black Sunshine by Zombie.

    also, for whatever reason Cake seems to sing nearly incessantly about cars and driving, so check out the following (all by Cake)

    Stickshifts and safetybelts
    Race Car Ya-Yas
    Satan is my Motor (personal fave)

    also, no one is allowed to tell anyone I listen to Cake, it will ruin my image as a vicious metalhead. so shhh!
