Hey All,

Great songs!

Mercury Blues has been covered by everybody from Steve Miller to Meatloaf to Alan Jackson to Ry Cooder but the one by Steve Miller is perhaps the one most relate to - and in some respects is close to the original. In 1949 a bluesman K C Douglas recorded Mercury Boogie which was renamed Mercury Blues. Here it is:

Hey All,

I knew somebody would get to the Beach Boys - 409 - a song about the Chevrolet 409. I have always liked like Jr Brown's version (with the Beach Boys singing background).

I never knew Paul Revere and the Raiders did a car song! I did a search and they even did one about the best engine Chevy ever produced (next to the 300 straight 6).

Keep em coming!

Little GTO....

Did you know, the GTO was by DeLorean (time machine fame) and was almost fired for making it (secretly) except that it became a huge success...

Wow! that sounds better than The Beachboys version! Never heard of Jr. Brown. Thank you for posting that!

"Son of Mustang Ford" by Swervedriver. I actually prefer "For Seeking Heat" which is about racing, but I couldn't find it online.

Same writer, more recent band, "Motorway" by Magnetic Morning. The song I would turn up if I was driving a convertible on a twisty road.

Hey All,

Amazing the diversity out there.

If you go back to before the Beatles there was a music called Rockabilly. It was an era of hopped up cars, rat rods, t-shirts, wildroot in your hair, songs about dead mans curve. When I was a kid some of the first books I recall reading were stories about 50s teens and their rods. I remember one well. The plot line was like sheriff has pretty daughter, guys like fonz ended up dead as the sheriff would wait for them on the highway and when they ran he would nerf em off the road at a particular curve. Of course one guy who got killed had an older brother who returned to town in his hot rod falls in love with the daughter but he knows what the sheriff does and works on his car alot (suspension actually). Finally the sheriff is after him on the same road and as they approach the corner he slows the sheriff steps on the gas and then the older brother steps on the gas and goes around the corner like he's driving a porsche. Sheriffs car doesn't have suspension that good and he goes off the road and he gets killed. Of course they live happy ever after. I always liked the era and the music.

This one is cause I used to own a 66 Mustang.

A song about a Ford...

When I was in the 8th grade the high school kid next door had a two door 56 chevy - dark blue chrome wheels dual exhausts - he used to work on it at all hours of the evening and night. I used to watch him out my bedroom window and loved it when he roared that engine.

This one is actually far more western swing... band is from Sweden I believe.

This one is not entirely about a car but I love the harp! :bump:

PS as I think about this it seems like rockabilly is making something of a comeback - hopefully more 50s music does as well.

ATTN: EasyEd,

Loved those last few post. Thanks for sharing.

I've been too busy catching up on what's already here. LOL. Brian's Blues are right there with me and Ed, man, Jr. Brown, I've loved that rascal's music ever since I first saw him on Austin City Limits. Never heard that 409 version, thumbs up. Being as how I'm an old folkie, here's my contribution, goes back a tad bit further than the other songs, just a little sing-along that'll have you singing too.

[brad kaste]

No doubt about it,....here's one of the all time great car songs,...Chuck Berry's "Maybelline." Not sure if it gets any better than this.....

Back in my band days we were so tired of singin "Born to be wild" we changed the lyrics. Please note this was in San Diego and you have to know the area to be in the know..

"Get your moped running...
head on out to Poway....
Looking for a WalMart...
There's one on the way"

One of the fun things about playing in a band is changing the lyrics.

Ain't that the truth! :icon_lol:

The band I was in years ago knew that song as 'Born to drink mild!' :guinness:

(For the left-pondians 'mild' is a dark ale available in the UK as opposed to 'bitter' which is the other popular beer. Note, I don't consider 'lager' to be beer as that stuff is just fizzy water! :icon_lol:)

Oh man!

Great to hear a bit o' Slim mate!

Here's my favourite ride (sorry its not exactly a 'car' but always got along better with horses).

Wilf Montan and 'Slim' style - 2 great old songs:

Now you're talking...I'd give my drinking arm for a pint of mild down here!

Tell 'em about some of the other 'fine arts' such as 'Black and Tan' a fine balance of Bitter or pale ale with a second beer (always a stout) usually Guinness.

Its beautiful to the eye, and even finer on its way down.

Cheers mate:guinness::guinness:


Edit: Larry, you were far more tactful in your reference to lager than I could ever be (P). Lol

[EasyEd]

HeY All,

Great songs! Keep em coming - there are lots of songs about cars out there. I should have included trucks in the title as that song by Slim Dusty is great. So go ahead include trucks!

My Dad was an over the road trucker for over 40 years and a dump truck driver before that. I have a natural affinity for big trucks and the sound of a diesel - yes I have a cummins Dodge. I don't even wanna start on the old Red Sovine truck songs - there is probably a million of em an I know em all. Most people here will have never heard of her but even Minnie Pearl did a truckin song - an answer to the Red Sovine classic Giddy-Up Go. When you doin truckin songs you right in my wheelhouse son. So gettin away from Red Sovine I'll put up this one by another truckin song master - Red Simpson. I hate it when this happens! :bump:

7Sh-WXGpwSs&feature=related

I'll put this one up just because I used to sing along to this one by Dick Curless when I was 8 - wishin I had that deep voice...

4aFzfDv2hz0&feature=related

To any of you who are truckers I just wanna say It killed me to find out the Dunnigan Aladero is no more - you know what I mean. :icon_lol:

Keepin in line with old country - this song gives great advice - NEVER EVER buy a foreign car! :mixedsmi:

OM0M52eXteA


A couple comments - Demorier I am a big fan of Australian Country Music. So much really good talent down under - Sunny Cowgirls, Kirsty Akers, Harmony James, Lee Kernaghen and so many more... I want to especially mention since you brought up Slim Dusty - do you know of Rex Dallas? His son Brett is a fine guitarist and I think his grand-daughter Ashleigh has the makings of big time written all over her. Playing so much with Kasey Chambers can't hurt.

Caz - that Woody Guthrie song reminded me of MrGreer51? :mixedsmi:

Why are there NO bikin songs yet! Aren't there any?

There are so many more great songs - come on folks!

-Ed-

PS Forgot to add: Nigel Goin to 1 horsepower is a bit of a stretch but I grew up on rodeo in Montana. Ever hear of Chris LeDoux? Anyway I'll put up one more LOW horsepower song. By the Hondells...

Hey All,

Larry My apologies! You did! They say the first thing you lose when you get old is your memory and I don't recall what you lose after that! :bump:

Here I'll post one more - about a moped called flame!
