8. Here in my Car
Gary Numan, and some recent remake. Much like heroin, both versions are terrible, but strangely addictive...

Don't Worry Baby
Ballad of Thunder Road (a #1 hit by Robert Mitchum, believe it or not)

Dead Man's Curve

17. I'm In Love With My Car
I'm In Love With My Car
Queen
Words and music by roger taylor

The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin’
And the hub caps all gleam

When I’m holdin’ your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hand’s on your grease gun
Oh it’s like a disease son

I’m in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I’ll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin’
This is the end now
Cars don’t talk back
They’re just four wheeled friends now

When I’m holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I’m cruisin’ in overdrive
Don’t have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I’m in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
I’m in love with my car
String back gloves in my automolove

20. MGB-GT - Richard Thompson
I've got a little car and she might go far
She's the mistress of my heart now
She's a '65 with an overdrive
I fixed her in every part now
2 in the front and 2 in the back
110 on the old Hog's Back
She's my MGB-GT she's a runner now
I welded the sills and the old floor pan
Cut the rust with the torch and the hacksaw
Took the Rostyles off, put the spoke wheels on
Got a brand new Salisbury axle
WHen I drive through town the girls all smile
They say, there's a man with retro-style
MGB-GT she's a runner now
Lockheed discs and twin SUs
Original chrome on the grill now
Looks llike a dream in racing green
Competition's standing still now
I sprayed her body, I strengthened her frame
I stripped her right down and built her up again
MGB-GT
An Alpine's fine if you've got the time
And a Healey'll set you back some
TR4 cost a little bit more
But it don't have the same attraction
Hard top handy case of the weather
I don't care if it rains forever
MGB-GT

21. Little Deuce Coup and 409 and In Cars
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 06:47 AM by Dees
Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down..but I got the fastest set of wheels in town...

She's real fine my 409..my 409

Beach Boys

and Jimmy Webb's In Cars

Went to school In Cars, in our cars, pretty girls,
Cruisin' after the game, watchin' radio.
Let your baby know In Cars, restaurant mobile,
Two behind the wheel like double-neck guitars,
In our cars.
We fell in love In Cars, in a car at the show,
Silhouettes on the glass, memories in chrome.
Take your baby home In Cars, everything was warm,
What a perfect form underneath the stars,
In our cars…
(I remember you, everything was new.
Talking in the dark, everything was true.)
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling winds.
If you're travelin' in the North Country fair
Where the winds get heavy on the border line,
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine.
