My memory sucks! I am having a hard time remembering the titles of some of my favorite car songs from the 60's and 70's. I supplied a couple of examples! My goal is to download all my favorites!
YouTube - I'm In Love With My CarYouTube - Crazy about a Mercury
Can anyone help?
Here is another one!
YouTube - Little NASH Rambler 1959
Not sure of the vintage of this baby, but the BBs rock!!
YouTube - The Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe
James.
If you want to complete your collection. Add this. I love this for driving music in the fall.. flying around woodsy corners.;)
Deep Purple "Perfect Strangers"
I don't know how to link youtube video. Tried copying url and paste. No go.
YouTube - Deep Purple song Perfect Strangers
This is not the right video but right song. Type in Deep Purple "Perfect Strangers"
and see the first video of them in the studio on youtube.com.
Also look for some gifted vocals with Ane Brun or Ron Sexsmith. Hear they are together.
Hope this works this time.
YouTube - Ane Brun "Song No. 6 (Featuring Ron Sexsmith)"
Sorry I think I misunderstood when you said car songs. Now I see your looking for songs about cool cars in the lyrics. Sorry about that.
One of my favs is Radar Love by Golden Earring
Alright! Now were talking! this is exactly the type I'm looking for!Quote:

Beach Boys- Little Deuce Coupe
Rob Zombie- Black Sunshine (it rocks)
War- Low Rider
Rush- Red Barchetta
Sammy Hagar- I Can't Drive 55
Rolling Stones- Route 66
Eagles- Life in the Fast Lane
Steppenwolf- Born to Be Wild
Johnny Cash- One Piece at a Time
That's all I can think of right now:shrug:
Virtualy anything by PINK FLOYD! ;) but I sugest the following albums for their driving psychedelic feel...
"the dark side of the moon"
"atom heart mother"
"wish you were here"
unless you are imune to the psichedelic effects of music while driving I'd say to keep of
"ummagumma" and
"saucefull of secrets"
By the way... "ummagumma" is my favourite album for my 3 times per week comute... :)
meanwhile, enjoy...
YouTube - Pink Floyd - Atom heart mother
Thank you, but I am looking for songs of the 60's and 70's that are about cars or about driving cars!Quote:

Where is that machete wielding smiley when you need one?
Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody
Drive my Car - Beatles
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...
YouTube - Ted Mulry Gang - Jump In My Car (1975)
James.
[Edit: just watched this - hmmm, I idon't think the Hoff's version is the only cringe-inducing video clip....]
Found this list called the Ultimate list of Car Songs heres the link The Ultimate List of Car Songs!
It's a long one!

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.
YouTube - Natasha Bedingfield - Chasing Cars
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.Quote:

Now thats the FINAL off-topic reply to Q_O I make in these threads.
I hope. :w
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:
Little Red Corvette- Prince:D
Sympathy for the devil, by the rolling stones
Burn, by deep purple
Camouflage, by stan ridgway
Blaze of glory, by Bon Jovi.
No sleep till brooklyn, Beastie boys.
Dear god, by XTC
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.
What is this 'cassette tape' thing you speak of Bruno? :confused: :rolleyes:Quote:

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!:ziplip:
I want to thank everyone who helped me out on this thread! A lot of good input! I was however looking for a particular song that I couldn't remember the title of, or the group!
Well, here it is:YouTube - DeeP PurPLe-HigHWaY StaR
i couldn't resist, i just had to share this!

This is kinda a car song - well, the band is called "Middle of the Road", that counts, right?
YouTube - Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep - 45 rpm
James.
Mike Ness (from Social Distortion) did a great job with I'm In Love With My Car. Listen to the revving of the V-8 in the beginning of the sample:
