Cars in Songs.

[steve_earwig]

 

Another Trans-Am
Wrapped itself around a telephone pole
"I ain't drunk, officer
I just fell gettin' out of my car"

Don't worry about it, son
We were that way when we were young
You've got all the skills
To make a damn good businessman

[steve_earwig]

 

Have you ever had a ride in a light blue car?
Have you ever stopped to think who's the slave and who's the master?
Have you ever had trouble with your automobile?
Have you ever had to push push push push?
Cartrouble oh yeah

You might have seen them very busy at the weekends (oh oh)
Licking and polishing the beep-beeps into shape
And then its proudly up the M1 M2 M3
And keep your feet off the upholstery Ronnie
Cartrouble oh yeah

I'm an American boy.

[meggersdog]

She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light

[pshome]

Caractacus:
It's talking to us--all engines talk!

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Can't remember who it was but

 

Got a brand new car

Looks like a Jaguar

[steve_earwig]

By the miracle* of Google

 

 

What do you feed a Buck Rogers with?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

That's the puppy! I was googling Supergrass.

[Christine]

Have you seen your mother baby ,standing in the Shadow -Rolling Stones 

 

Get off of my Cloud - Rolling Stones 

 

Lola - Kinks

 

 

Lotus  - REM

 

 

Sweet little rock and  Roller- Chuck Berry

[DSdriver]

I bought "Aliens ate my Buick" purely for the excellent album cover but then found the music was good as well.

 

In my scan through the thread I think there are two Ian Dury and the Blockheads songs already posted but what about this one:

 

Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena

 

They don't write 'em like that any more.

[Hendry]

I CBA to read all 6 pages of this thread so don't know if these have been mentioned:

 

- Prince - Little Red Corvette

- Feeder - Buck Rodgers (features the line "he's got a brand new car, looks like a Jaguar, its got leather seats, its got a CD player, player, player.)

[M'coli]

I've not read the thread, so I apologise if this has been mentioned before: Blondie' "Rapture":

 

'He eats Cadillacs, Lincolns too

Mercuries and Subaru".

 

Also, Marillion's Chelsea Monday:

"Awaiting her prince in his white Capri".

[Sloth in a bowl]

'sometimes I just can't function / my heart's Spaghetti Junction'

 

 

though this one doesn't actually mention any cars.

 

 

The half-man half biscuit selection

M-A-U-G-E-R
Ivan Mauger robbed my car

Christian Salvesen, Ryder
Curries of Dumfries

Knutsford City Limits

Dad can I have another pear drop?

Dad are we nearly there yet?

Yngwie
Yngwie Malmsteen
Yngwie Malmsteen in our van
Yngwie

'but they just looked surprised like the font of an Anglia'

 

[Inspector Morose]

Thomas Dolby - key to her Ferrari

 

 

And then I saw her... she was a bright red '64 GTO with fins and

Gills like some giant piranha fish, some obscene phallic symbol on

Wheels... little rivers of anticipation ran down my inseam as I

Kicked those five hundred italian horses into life and left

Reality behind me: fifty, sixty, seventy miles an hour... my hand

Slipped inside the belt of my trousers as we passed eighty, ninety

Miles an hour... my hand slipped inside the belt of my trousers and

As we hit the magic 100 my love exploded all over her bright pink

Leather interior... and at that moment, I thought of my mother...

[Alusilber]

Val Doonican's "O'Rafferty's Motor Car" - surely the shiter's anthem?

[mercrocker]

"What say we hop in the trunk of my Gremlin and get our rocks off?..."

 

F.Zappa

[Asimo]

"She got a Coupe de Ville but her heart rides still in that Ford Econoline"

Nanci Griffith / Ford Econoline"

 

"I'm down the road, in my little red Marina in the rain"......"My coupé's running roughly, steaming over"

Caravan / AA Man

[steve_earwig]

I guess Winnebago Warriors by the Dead Kennedys qualifies now. Maybe Police Truck, Buzzbomb and Trust Your Mechanic too...

 

Trust your mechanic to mend your car
Bring it in to his garage
He tightens and loosens a few spare parts
One thing's fixed, another falls apart

What? It's a song, there's a car in it. Sort of.

[hennabm]

Saxon - wheels of steel.....

 

"she's cruisin 140, she'll do even more......"

[DSdriver]

Ian Hunter, lyrics from All American alien boy:

 

 

 

An' I remember all the good times - me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy

 

According to his blog he can't remember what that was about.

[brickwall]

uhm, found this on google, so don't blame me.

 

Nicki Minaj - I love my range rover

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXv5uVTgTjU

 

 

She l-lewinsky hold ya bosses
Come around town 300 horses
Power she devour got them gettin divorces
I dont stop for officers
And now we hit hydrolics
Thats for the left turn

I love my, I love my, I love my range rover
I love my range rove, l-l-llama range rover
I love my, I love my, I love my range rover
I love my range rove, l-l-llama range rover

 

 

 

I don't think she realised that she's mentioned another (ill fated though) Lode Lane product in the Chorus.
