I limited myself to two selections from the two Car Talk “Disrespectful Songs About Cars” CDs that are in my collection. Note that none of these have the generic word “car” in the title. That’s next week. What are your favorite songs about a make or model of car?
Not really a favorite of mine, but there’s The Beach Boys’ “Little Deuce Coupe.”
Why, Jonathon Richman’s “Dodge Veg-O-Matic” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuebLzsQ64M
I hope “The Car Hank Died In” is on the generic list.
Sorta surprised that Mercury Blues didn’t make the list.
Hot Rod Lincoln, Asleep at the Wheel (among others)
Mercedes Benz, Janis Joplin
Pink Cadillac, Bruce Springsteen
Mustang Sally, Wilson Pickett
