This thread seems to have tickled my brain, unfortunately I can't give many youtube links because I remember music nobody else liked in the first place...

 

Dickies - (I'm Stuck In A Pagoda With) Tricia Toyota

Didjits - Gold Eldorado

Diagram Brothers - Ron The Morris Minor's Gone

Jonnee jumped in his Datsun

Drove out on the expressway

Went head-on into a semi

 

You're dead now Harry,you can't come back,

You'd still be alive if you drove a Cadillac

 

I occasionally get this as an ear worm (now you can too)

So he told it all and in return

he got a credit card and a Thunderbird

 

Good night!

[inconsistant]

Chuck Berry, Maybelline

The Wombats would fit in here well.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Got me a 67 Chevy,she's low sleek and black

Some day I'll put her on the Interstate and never look black

 

Steve Earle - Someday.

 

Twenty thousand dollar pickup truck

Belongs to me and the bank

 

Steve Earle - Good Ole Boy

 

Now Daddy ran whisky in a big block Dodge

Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge

Had Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side

Just shot a coat of primer and he looked inside

Him and my uncle tore that engine down

I still remember that rumblin sound

Steve Earle - Copperhead Rd

 

These are all off the album Copperhead Road, the lyrics could be slightly wrong but they're what I've been singing along to for 20 odd years.
