Pls recommend: songs about cars

you're gonna get yours - pe

First, the greatest car song ever: "Jesus Built My Hotrod" by Ministry.

Then....

"I'm In Love With My Car" by Queen (off NIGHT AT THE OPERA), "Brand New Cadillac" by the Clash (a cover, I believe, off LONDON CALLING), "Fast Cars" by Buzzcocks, "Dodge Vegamatic" by Jonathan Richman (and, I guess sorta "Roadrunner" by the Modern Lovers), the entirety of the MINI e.p. by the Wedding Present, "Pink Cadillac" by Springsteen (though I'd rather put a pistol in my mouth that listen to it), "Gimme the Car" by the Violent Femmes, "Buzzbomb" by Dead Kennedys, "Little Red Corvette" by Prince, "Headin' Out to the Highway" by Judas Priest, "Behind the Wheel" by Depeche Mode, "Car Song" by Elastica.

Of course, there's "New Car" by the Kids of Widney High.

ahem, Madness

In this corner with the 98 Subject of suckers - object of hate Who's the one some think is great I'm that one - son of a gun Drivin' by - wavin' my fist Makin' 'em mad when I'm goin' like this Top gun - never on the run They know not to come cause they all get some Goin' quicker in the speedin' lane Jealous can't do it and it's causin' them pain

Caught in my smoke - all they did was choke Look at my spokes - you know I'm no joke Out that window - middle finger for all Jealous at my ride, stereo and blackwalls Suckers they got the nerve and gall To talk 'bout the car when they're walkin' tall

Chorus: Suckers to tha side I know you hate my 98 You gonna get yours (x2)

Pullin' away - every day Leavin' you in the dust So you know I get paid - on the mile ego trip And 5-o tailin' on my tip Watch me burn rubber - fall in my flame This episode is always the same Seein' no comp comin' like I'm blind All left back - trailin' my behind I go faster cops try to shoot me They'll get theirs when they try to get me I'll let it go - my turbo Run, I'm in the river cause they're movin' too slow Laughin' hard at their attempt So what if the judge charged me contempt I'd rub my boomerang - 'cause I'm feelin' proud And I wouldn't even hear them cause my radio's loud

Chorus (x2)

Cruisin' down the boulevard I treated like some superstar You know the time so don't look hard Get with it - the ultimate homeboy car All you suckers in the other ride Wherever I'm comin' get you my side My 98 is tough to chase If you're on my tail - better watch your face Smoke is comin' when I burn Rubber when my wheels turn A tinted window - so super bad Lookin' like the car the Green Hornet had It's the reason I'm ahead of the pack It's the reason I left them back It's the reason all the people say My 98-O blows 'em all away

My 98 Oldsmobile is... My 98 Oldsmobile's so... My 98 Oldsmobile is... My 98 Oldsmobile's like...

Chorus (x2)

Understand - I don't drive drunk My 98's fly - I don't drive no junk No cop gotta a right to call me a punk Take this ticket - go to hell and stick it Put me on a kick butt - line up, times up This government needs a tune up I don't know what's happenin' - what's up Gun in my chest - I'm under arrest Sidewalk suckers wanted to spill me So I got my crew and posse Took their girls and got them to thrill me Stepped outside - got in my ride Drove them around an' I looked around town Caught 'em out there cold - ran 'em over and down They didn't get me and that's the truth Cause the 98-O is bullet proof

My 98 Oldsmobile's so... My 98 Oldsmobile is... My 98 Oldsmobile's so... My 98 Oldsmobile's like...

2. 'Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz' - Lost Boyz

Kraftwerk – Autobahn

FUSE – Nitedrive

Swervedriver- Son of Mustang Ford

T-Rex- Buick Mackane

i'm doing the same thing! in terms of hip-hop songs, i'd recommend dr. dre's "let me ride" from "the chronic." it's on my compilation.

also, these aren't hip-hop, but... the breeders -- drivin' on 9 L7 -- shirley *(this is a song about the first female drag racer -- lotsa car noises in it. very campy). primus -- jerry was a race car driver.

i'll let you know of any other hip-hop/rap car songs i think of/come up with. and if you have any, pls let me know.

if you wanna hear my entire list so far, e-mail me and i'll send it to ya. drive she said by stan ridgway and warm leatherette by the normal -- i guess those are bit too obvious, like numan's car?

anyway, best o' luck, and ditto on jesus built my hotrod by ministry. great song. it's on my comp.

or "always crashing in the same car" by bowie.

or "in the backseat" by the arcade fire.

or "pink cadillac" by springsteen, or "jeep song" by the dresden dolls, or "drive slow" by kanye and paul wall, or the ultimate, about both driving and rock n' roll - "roadrunner" by the modern lovers.

Funny thing is, I couldn't remember the name of the band, so after googling for it I found:
