Whats your favorite Hotrod song?

Hotrod Lincoln by George Thorogod and Mercury Blues (Can´t remember who recorded it)

 

"400 Bucks" - Rev Horton Heat

Not specifically a hot rod song, but my "57 sedan, a little mom and pop car" has a very direct relationship to that song and the person it was written about. Long, interesting story....

 

Rev On The Redline is my all-time favorite car tune, followed by Green Onions and Little Deuce Coupe

Al in CT

 

Long White Caddilac- Dwight Yokam
Hot Rod Lincoln - Bill Kirchen and/or Twangbangers
Two Lane Blacktop- Rob Zombie
Hell in a Hotrod- Motorbilly
V12 Ford- Blazing Haley
El Dorado- Blazing Haley
Hot Rod Heart- Belmont Playboys
Voodoo Cadillac- SCOTS
Like a Rocket- Rev Horton Heat

Pretty much any song by Blazing haley, The Rev, or SCOTS can be construed as a hotrod song.

 

cool breeze, Chuck Berry
One piece at a time Johhny Cash

What I am listening to lately (alternative country), car related. And a few that may have been missed…

Drive by Truckers - Days Of Graduation (reminds me of high school)

“Bobby went out for a joy ride with my best girl
Left me at the party,
He was my best friend and I miss him.
It was almost June and the ¾ moon illuminated the rain-soaked streets like a candy wrapper.
I guess that's why Bobby had his lights off,
Tear-assing threw the back part of town and those deserted country roads where me and Bobby tear-assed so many times before.
Sometimes with my best girl and sometimes Bobby had him one too.

But this night he banked that curve just a little too hard and that 442 went airborne,
Hit a telephone pole and split in two, Bobby's skull was split right in two,
And my girl was pinned in her seat, partially embedded in the dashboard
And for the next twenty minutes the only sound in the night were her screams.
And the sound of the wheel still spinning.

In a little while the ambulance came and the sound of its siren mixed with the screaming girl and the spinning wheel.

But when the story was told the next day at the graduation ceremony,
Everyone said that when the ambulance came
The paramedics could hear "Free Bird" still playing on the stereo.

You know it's a very long song”

-------------------------------

Tom Waits - The Pontiac

James McMurtry - Choctaw Bingo (road trip!!!)

Cedarcase – Annabelle (well, he does sing about LSD…Lakeshore Drive  ) my favorite song right now. By the time he is done singing you pretty much want to find Annabelle and do things to her.

Robert Earl Keene- The Road goes on Forever

Kasey Chambers - Water in the Fuel (I like her version better than Fred Eaglesmith’s)

Beat Farmers - Blue Chevrolet

Richard Thompson - '52 Vincent Black Lightning (for you folk people, I’m not partial but the title caught my eye and so I got it)

 

While technically not a hot rod song "Blast Off" by the Stray Cats does it every time for me!!!

 

ooooh the Little Nash Rambler song...just because! BEEP BEEP!

 

have love will travel - the sonics

 

I've got two copies of the Little Village cd, cause I was afraid of never finding it again ~~ one of my very favorites! why those guys stopped at one I'll never understand

 

I generally don't like songs about cars... Not sure why, but they're always just a little bit cheesy. They always seem like they're written by someone who has never worked a car in their life.

 

Street Racin' Man - Hot Rod Hullabaloo.

 

X2!

 

Johnny Law- Wayne Hancock version

 

Setzer Switchblade 327!!!!!!!

 

Springsteen's... "Racing in the streets"
