Art & Inspiration Hot Rods and Music

Hey... wake up.

 

Ok... you can go back to sleep.

 

Now we're talkin...

 

I think you'll like this one
Three great old pieces.
Engine sounds... excellent pics.
6 1/2 minutes.

And yeah, it makes me wanna drive a hot rod.
They ALL make me wanna drive a hot rod.
Shoot... the sun comes up, I wanna drive a hot rod.
I BREATHE and I wanna drive a hot rod.
WHY AREN'T I DRIVING A HOT ROD?!?!?!?

Sorry. Back to the music. Enjoy.

 

A nice mellow one.

Some of the lyrics:
Sing for a bottle of your favourite watered-down thoughts
And keep all those guessin' in the gardens and old empty lots
I’ll motor over there, the car will be dirty and hot

[Refrain]
But you are still evil, in my sword you'll be caught

 

Everybody have a good Sunday.

 

There's a song, I believe it's the Trashmen's, has similar or higher energy as The Bird, lyrics might be about a female, walking ...

 

There's a punk rock cover, "Loosen Up," by ... ?

 

I'm Dancin' over here.....

 

Good driving music

The song came on the radio and I was moving, too.

How about some funk for cruising your custom? I would post "Pusherman," but the lyrics ...

 

We could go a little "higher".....

 

Alright, we can wrap up this thread.

The Doors -- Riders on the Storm

Early Nova gasser at ~5:30.

 

Say what?!

 

Have a nice Sunday

 

For the old guys. Includes me.
I get a real kick outa this.
Old Diamonds still shine.

 

For most of us,if we had a good time in school,at least from 6th to 12th an maybe some collage,the tunes of those years,will be best. We lived with it as sound of good times an things it makes you think off that were good too !
So pretty much,my sounds (1955 to 65} were great an,and newer sucks mostly. LOL.
On the real side of things,yes there were some duds that even made it into the charts<but no way I know how other then pay-o-la !!!! .
Like "The Bird" to name one max bad.
There was also a group from over seas that all looked gay, they sounded like little Kindergarten kids sitting on the floor shouting at each other"I want to hold your hand",I still hate them,but the pay-o-la was so big,repete play it brainwashed 100000s.
Yes that is the way I saw it.

 

Yessir, Dana...I remember the day that those "mop-heads" showed up.
I was 7. The next day at school, it was all the kids were talking about.
"No...you say it like THIS..."
"My name is Ringo, and I play in a BOND."
LOL

Factory-built muscle-cars came along about the same time.
Owner-modified cars and '50s music instantly fell from favor and almost disappeared.
No more hot rods. No more '50s music. "The dark ages."

The hair got longer. The music got harder and louder.

Then American Graffiti was released.
And Pete's and Jake's coupes were on the cover of Rod and Custom.
They and a few guys in Europe reminded us of how it was done.
Hot rods and early rock n roll became popular again.

I was bothering girls instead of hoarding old tin.
Now I can't hardly find any.
(old tin...or girls) Lol
The spirit is still as strong or stronger.
(for the tin) ...and the old music.
The body is trying to keep up.


And that's the history of the world.

 

@kaspar ... your song hit home. ...............................

 

Let's party. Pick up the pace a little.
Go, man...GO!!!

 

I love the idea of a barn dance out in the country.
A nice warm summer night.
Early rockabilly.
Lots of folks havin' a good time.
A bunch of hot rods and kustoms and cool old cars parked outside.
The lights and music and laughter spilling from the barn into the night.
