Whats your favorite Hotrod song?

Pancho and Lefty written by Townes Van Sant

 

Eddie Cochran - Something else. Setzer covered it also.

"What's all this!?!?
Never thought I'd do this before,
but here I am, I'm knocking on her door.
Car's out front and baby it's all mine,
A 41 Ford, not a 59.
I got that girl and I'm a thinkin' to myself
'That girl's fine lookin' man, she's somethin' else.'"

Setzer - Who could really love this car but me.

"It's got a leaky carburetor
A rusted out floor
Four broken windows
Bullet holes in the door
Torn up old seats
And the lock don't fit the key
Now baby who would really love this car but me? "

Pete

 

Just about every song that ever mentioned a car has been posted except this one..

Souped Up Ford - Rory Gallagher. Not hot rod in the true sense, it was written about a Ford that Muddy Waters gave him after he used it to tour the UK.. One of the best intros ever..

She began to cry when you said good bye and you slipped into your dreams.

This song is the story of my life, in oh so many ways that it used to scare me!

I sing it in clubs here in Asia.

 

The story of Commander Cody and Hot Rod Lincoln his first hit song.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this one yet, but this video owns my soul--

And "Dust Devil" also by the Butthole Surfers.

And if we are speaking of hot rod music, then that would be most everything ever recorded by The Cramps.

Great video thanks !

 

I can't believe no one's mentioned 'Get Outa My Dreams & Get into My Car' by Billy Ocean! That songs kicks ass!

KIDDING!!!!!!

I have to agree (with everyone!) bout Hot Rod Lincoln, only my fave is the LIVE version by Commander Cody. Has to be LIVE for me. He put so many great versions of other's songs in it.
Also Dirt Track Date, Five-o-Ford, Jesus Built My Hotrod, Cruisin for a Bruisin, among so many otheres (most from back in the day -Maybeline, 409, Little Deuce Coupe, etc)!!!!
And thanks to Gumpa for the song list.

V8 Ford Blues

Booker T and the MG's - Green Onions

 

This one alot of people forgot about. My ss 396. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMJx0zA3VWE&feature=email

 

Hot Rod Lincoln. I'm surprised so many favor the Commander Cody version.
I wonder if they've even heard the original (Charlie Ryan) or the later Johnny Bond well done arrangement.
CC's record was basically a cover of the original . A good effort,none the less
and a fun band to see live.

 

drag city,little duce coupe,409,little old lady from passadeana,most of the beach boys and jan and dean drag stuff(funny for someone who wasn,t born when 90% where recorded,good upbringing I guess).But favorite would be dead mans curve not realy drag but hey its hot rod and racing.

 

hey didnt see nash rambler goiing beep beep may have just missed it

 

you missed it several times

 

Hot Rod Lincoln !

 

Hot Rod Linco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MS9fk1u6kAln, here it is

 

The greatest of all hot rod and motorcycle songs, "Wheels" by the much overlooked Gram Parsons:

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We've all got higher and higher every day
Come on, wheels, take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on, wheels, take me home today
Come on, wheels, take this boy away

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We've all got higher and higher every day
Come on, wheels, take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on, wheels, take me home today
Come on, wheels, take this boy away
We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We've all got higher and higher every day
Come on, wheels, take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on, wheels, take me home today
Come on, wheels, take this boy away

"Its written in D Minor, the saddest of all keys."

"Thats beautiful, Whats it called?"

 

"Cheater Slicks" by the Super Stocks. The full throttle launch at the end really sells it for me.

The more I see of this guy, it seems he was just in a bar band that got lucky with a classic rockabilly re-make. Right place ,right time, new generation.

Here's the first remake:
