Luke / Jeff McDaniel - Automobile Song

 

Can't believe thread's got this far without a personal favourite The Sonics - Boss Hoss


Slightly off topic, Jamiroquai's Black Devil Car is about his Enzo. Even more so, Junkie XLs Big Sounds of the Drags and Amon Tobin's 'Supermodified' are two largely instrumental dance albums in part inspired by drag racing, but a few samples are the only discernible direct influence

 

Midget racing song...

Midget Auto Blues - Paul Tutmarc and the Wranglers

 

Another racing song...

Merrill E Moore - Hardtop Race

 

And of course... Jerry Was A Race Car Driver - Primus

 

and while on that theme...

Dirt Track Date - Southern Culture on the Skids



and Voodoo Cadillac

 

Blondie - Rapture

"...You go out at night eatin' cars, Cadillacs, Lincolns, too, Mercurys and Subarus.. "

 

Black Sunshine-White Zombie
Gripping the wheel his knuckles went white with desire
The wheels of his Mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45
True Death: 400 Horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night
This is Black Sunshine

 

GENE SIMMONS- Peroxide Blonde in a Hopped Up Model Ford

Well, we drug down Main, just to make a scene
I barked my tyres as the light turned green
I slapped her to the floor and I let out on the clutch
And what was left on the road, it wasn't very much
We flew out of town, we were side by side
Twin carburetors was a runnin' wild
The smoke was ballin' up for a mile behind
I dated that blonde, she left me way behind
When I was draggin', draggin' down Main once more
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up model Ford
Ooh, now I never-never-never drag down Main no more
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up model Ford
Ooh, a peroxide blonde in a hopped up model Ford
Yeah, a peroxide blonde in a hopped up model Ford
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up model Ford
Ooh, when I'm draggin', draggin' down Main once more
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up model Ford
Ooh-ooh...

 

Asshole [Dennis Leary]


You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (yeah)
And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' 1 mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag

 

Warren Smith Red Cadillac and a Black Mustache

Who you been lovin' since I been gone
A long tall man with a red coat on
Good-for-nothing-baby you've been doing me wrong
Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Who's been playing around with you
A real cool cat with eyes of blue
Triflin' baby are you being true
Who's been foiling around with you

Who's been fooling around with you

Somebody saw you at the break of day
Dining and a-dancing in the cabaret
He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red Cadillac and a black mustache
He held your hand and he sang you a song
Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Somebody saw you at the break of day
Dining and a-dancing in the cabaret
He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red Cadillac and a black mustache
He held your hand and he sang you a song
Who you been lovin' since I been gone
Who you been lovin' since I been gone

One of my kids sent me this to remember our Studebaker pickup they grew up with.
It sounds almost like it was written for us.

The Ramonas - Santa's Got A GTO

 

Steel Pole Bathtub - One Thick Second

Less about a real car ...but it does mention Racer X's car (the Shooting Star) and Speed Racer's Mach 5... and more racing, and the Racer family dynamics...
