Soupin' Up Your Motor by LINDA LAURIE [Verse 1] It's Saturday night And I'm at home Crying by The telephone And while I sit here Alone and blue Honey, where are you? [Chorus] You're soupin' up your Motor Puttin' mufflers on your car Shinin' up your spinners So they twinkle like a star [Verse 2] Slappin' paint on the fenders Stickin' stripes on the hood You forgot about me Just like I knew you would [Refrain 1] But don't mind me, I'm only your girlfriend One you see once a year So don't mind me, if you want something tender Then [?] to your fender [?] [Chorus] And finish soupin' up your motor Puttin' mufflers on your car Shinin' up your spinners So they twinkle like a star [Verse 3] I don't mind the day time It's the nights with you I miss You spend more time in a drag race Then you spend in a kiss [Refrain 2] But don't mind me, I'm only your girlfriend The one that you're supposed to wed No don't mind me, if you change your mind You can marry Paul instead [Chorus] And finish soupin' up your motor Puttin' mufflers on your car Shinin' up your spinners So they twinkle like a star [Verse 4] Polishin' the Chrome So it's bright as bright can be You got a very lovely car But you ain't got me http://musicmasteroldies.com/2012/01/14/new-oldies-soupin-up-your-motor-by-linda-laurie/
That was me young. Now I am old and somewhat better! "But" I must have done something right. She is still here!
My girlfriend had to deal with hot rods in the garage and choppers in the living room. The only things that have changed in forty three years is I now have a place for the choppers besides the living room....seems to keep her happy.
The singer is also the writer. I think She only had one song make the Top 100 charts but she wrote many other songs for other artists and TV shows. Check out the link at the bottom that gives some of her bio. Also, notice the wrong side of the 45 is featured in the Youtube vid. The hot rod song is actually the A-side but the dumbasses have the B-side showing.
Not bad. I was confused with the B side label showing. Did she also do "It's My Party"? I'd nominate something by BTO or that tune by John Fogerty about driving which I can't recall the name of right now. Then there's Mark Knoefler and his song about a corvette he coveted and the race car driver guys name, again I can't recall the name...
I’ll nominate it on one condition. @Lloyd's paint & glass has to get up on stage in a pink TuTu and sing it. Has to be live in a bad ass biker bar.
You gonna be my backup singer? Some of them stripper boots and a mini skirt on? Oh you know you wanna!! Find a 4X tutu and send me a plane ticket pretty boy Personally the song sounds like some of my ex wives, emphasis on ex.
Why did I Know that Lloyd would be up for that challenge? If only theHAMB had a Super Bowl, can’t wait for That half time ‘show’............Yowser!
