Hot Rod Man ...Tex Rabinowitz...

 

It's got a V8 motor and it sure is clean
I'm a hot rod man, yeah, I'm a hot rod man
Look out little mama, gonna git you if I can
I got a cowboy caddy with a custom seat
It's leatherett, all rolled and pleat
Come on little mama, sit by my side
You and your daddy are gonna go for a ride
I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
Oh, I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
Look out little mama, gonna git you if I can
(Awe Bobby, wind it up!)

We're gonna head for the drive-in on the edge of town
We're gonna look real cool as we tool around
All the fellows are gonna scream and shout
When I leave I'm gonna peal on out
I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
Look out little mama, gonna git you if I can
(Oh! Billy Hancock! Go-go!)

Gonna head over by the lake and park
Snuggle up real close in the dark
There is something baby, you gotta know
The hot rod man don't ever move slow
I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
Look out little mama, gonna git you if I can
(Hey, let's drag now!)

Well, I'm a rollin' daddy with a mean machine
It's got a V8 motor and it sure is clean
I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
Oh, I'm a hot rod man (he's a hot rod man)
Look out little mama, gonna git you if I can

 

I didn't know that the Raiders had a trick car, but I did see Mark Lindsay's Ferrari 275 GTB. Oops, OT.

 

" and all the Jag could see were my six taillights".

 

Their "custom coach" was an OT ride - but man - what a ride!!!

Bucket bucket T T, bucket T bucket T,
Bucket bucket T T, bucket T bucket T,
Bucket bucket T T, bucket T bucket T,

Found her in a barn in Tennessee
I paid five bucks for my Bucket T
Took me three years of sweat and blood
To clean off all that Tennessee mud

[chorus:]
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
T T T... Bucket bucket bucket...

Cruise down the street in front of school
I wanna rev it up but I gotta be cool
Drivin' down the road I'll get my kicks
A'poppin' the clutch and a'slippin' the sticks

[chorus]

I was right, too, she's first in her class
There's nothing on the freeway she don't pass
All the girls want to take a ride with me
But there's only one seat in my Bucket T

"I bought a '34 wagon and they call it a woodie, Surf City here we come" - Jan and Dean.

Some say it's actually "a '30 Ford wagon" but I can't tell for sure...I like the '34 better .

"Red Corvette" -- Ellie Gee and The Jets

Doin' 90 on a busy street, a cute little chick in the bucket seat,
The cats can't get a date, they're really startin' to hate that red Corvette

"A-Bone" -- The Trashmen

I've got a little A-bone like you never have seen
A way-out wailin' type of boss machine
Top eliminator at all the big name drags
Well, she's stroked and bored and shaved so neat
And sittin' right next to my bucket seat
It's a bang-shift hydro with a big shillaly, Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

 

I flew past La Brea, Schwab's and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six taillights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were - at Dead Man's Curve

These 3 have been rolling around in my head lately. No totally car related but they explain why I am the way that I am I guess.







The last one I could sing or my own kid. its life and cars and scooters are life.

 

I'm a metal head, and Yngwie Malmsteen is one of my favorite guitarists of all time

Step inside the dream machine
You're on a power drive
Feel the passion of the beast
Watch her come alive.
Oh-- you're almost there, ride on silver air
You better hold on tight-- she's fire in the night.
Faster than the speed of light
Hugging all the curves
Hang on to your life
Faster than the speed of light
Supercharged and flying low
She's liquid dynamite.
Got your hands upon the wheel
The pedal to the floor
Now it's time for nerves of steel
Hear the engine roar.
Oh-- you shoot the thrill-- heading for the kill
No control tonight-- she's liquid dynamite.
Faster than the speed of light
Hugging all the curves
Hang on to your life
Faster than the speed of light
Supercharged and flying low
She's liquid dynamite.


...and Judas Priest's Desert Plains
Full moon is rising
The sky is black
I need your call I'm coming back
The road is straight cast
Wind's in my eyes
The engine roars between my thighs
From desert plains I bring you love
From desert plains I bring you love
Wild mountain thunder
Echoes my quest
My body aches but I'll not rest
Quartz light to guide me
Till sunrise leads
My passion screams, my heart it bleeds
From desert plains I bring you love
From desert plains I bring you love
Then in the distance
I see you stand
On the horizon you raise your hand
In burning rubber
I end my quest
You fall into my arms at last
From desert plains I bring you love
From desert plains I bring you love

 

"Slip out onto the freeway, dialed all the gears
Things were just gettin' heavy when the red light appeared
He said, "Get outta the car, boy."
He put the 'cuffs on my wrists
Read me my rights, oh things got intense" Sammy Hagar The Pits

actually Hagar did lots of music to boogey by and lots with references to cars and having a good time.



Just threw in Van Halen because I could.

 

Sometimes into Asheville, sometimes Memphis town
The revenuers chased him, but they couldn't run him down
Each time they thought they had him, his engine would explode
He'd go by like they were standing still on Thunder Road

And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
And there was moonshine, moonshine, to quench the devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him, but the devil got him first

Growing up I just wanted to be half as cool as Robert Mitchum.

 

She's a hot stepping hemi with a four on the floor
She's a roadrunner engine in a thirty-two Ford
Late at night when I'm dead on the line
I swear I think of your pretty face when I let her unwind

Well, I had the carburetor, baby, cleaned and checked
With her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet
Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks
For a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
Took her down to the carwash, check the plugs and points
Well, I'm goin' out tonight, I'm gonna rock that joint

Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down

It happened on the strip where the road is wide
(Oooo rev it up now)
Two cool shorts standin' side by side
(Oooo rev it up now)
Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
(Oooo rev it up now)
Revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean
(Oooo rev it up now)

Tach it up, tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down

Declinin' numbers at an even rate
(Oooo movin' out now)
At the count of one we both accelerate
(Oooo movin' out now)
My Stingray is light the slicks are startin' to spin
(Oooo movin' out now)
But the four-thirteen's really diggin' in
(Oooo movin' out now)

Gotta be cool now power shift here we go

Superstock Dart is windin' out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really startin' to go
To get the traction I'm ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin' that machine's too much

Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
(Oooo pump it up now)
And now the four-thirteen's lead is startin' to shrink
(Oooo pump it up now)
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
(Oooo pump it up now)
I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under my hood
(Oooo pump it up now)

Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down

There's a Cadillac out in the dark
There's a guitar gangster lighting a smoke
And he feels the night, and he feels the fire
Driving into the city unknown
Ten small houses is what he face in the cold
And he feels the night, can you feel the fire
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood
Walking into a place called The Bar
People looking like a ghost has arrived
And he feels the eyes, can you see the eyes
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters…
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood
Dear ladies, gentlemen, don't be afraid
We are here to ease your pain
Let it all start with a song
I'm sure we'll get along
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood
They came from the road and out of the dark
Went into a place even darker
Guitar gangsters and Cadillac blood

 

THE WHOLE SONG!!!
"8 Miles A Gallon" - Scott Miller and the Commonwealth

 

If I had money
Tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown
Buy a Mercury or two

I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Oh I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down the road

Well, I had me a girl
Stole her from a friend
Friend got lucky
Stole her back again

Cause she thought he had a Mercury
Oh she thought he had a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down the road
C'mon!!

Well, hey now mama
Lookin' so fine
Cruisin' round
In your Mercury 69

I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Ooo, I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down the road

My girl went out
Didn't stay long
Bought herself a Mercury
And cruised it on home

Cause she know I have a Mercury
Oh she know I have a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down the road

Well, hey now mama
Lookin' so fine
Cruisin' round
In your Mercury 69

I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Ooo, I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down the road
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down the road
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
Cruise it up and down

I'm going out
I'm gonna get me a real job
And I'm gonna buy me some
Mercury!! Yeah

Paul Revere and the Raiders.....SS396


Forget about your Hemi's and your GTO's

I've got a new machine, and she really goes

When I pass you up on the drag strip you'll know darn well

You've been beat by a porcupine V8 Chevelle


Taching it up now, you better be quick

Cus' nothing can outrun my SS 396


There's lots of chrome goodies sitting under the hood

She looks real pretty, like a tough one should

On the redline tires, she sits real mean

She's the coolest hot one... you've ever seen

Crusing the highways, getting my kicks

Everyone's checking out my SS 396


Look at her go (look at her go)

She sits real low (she sits real low)

Dealer tires grip the road

Her deep breathing fours (deep breathing fours)

And they'll never settle short (never settle short)

Feel the rear end grab the load


Take you for a ride man, it's really a treat

Strap yourself into a bucket seat

The four speed tranny is starting to whine

You'll know about the Super Sport

Once we get off the line


Crusing the highway, getting my kicks

Nothing can match my...SS 396


Look at her go (look at her go)

She sits real low (she sits real low)

Dealer tires grip the road

Her deep breathing fours (deep breathing fours)

And they'll never settle short (never settle short)

Feel the rear end grab the load


Take you for a ride man, it's really a treat

Strap yourself into a bucket seat

The four speed tranny is starting to whine

You'll know about the Super Sport

Once we get off the line


Nothing can match my...SS396

SS 396

SS 396

SS 396

Yeah beep beep was the song That although was not the first car related song it was the first that I ever heard. I was about 10 years old so it must have been 1960 . And somebody mentioned little GTO by Ronnie and the Daytona's again from '64.

The Clash-Brand New Cadillac



THE CLASH LYRICS
"Brand New Cadillac"

Driiiiiiiive!!!
Driiiiiiiive!!!

My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
Yes she did!
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
She said, "Hey, come here, Daddy!"
"I ain't never comin' back!"

Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
C'mon, sugar, just come on back to me
She said, "Balls to you, Big Daddy."
She ain't never coming back!

Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
Oh c'mon, just hear my plea
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't coming back to me

Baby, baby drove up in a Cadillac
I said, "Jesus Christ! Where'd you get that cadillac?"
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't never coming back!

Queen - I'm in Love with My Car



QUEEN LYRICS
"I'm In Love With My Car"

The machine of a dream, such a clean machine,
With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam.
When I'm holding your wheel,
All I hear is your gear,
When my hand's on your grease gun,
Oh it's like a disease son,
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile,
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar,
Such a thrill when your radials squeal.

Told my girl I just had to forget her,
Rather buy me a new cartburettor,
So she made tracks sayin' ths is the end now,
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now,

When I'm holding your wheel,
All I hear is your gear,
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive,
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive,

I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile,
I'm in love with my car, string back gloves in my automolove!
