"dragstrip riot on friday night" and "fast cars fast women" by dragtstrip riot

 

Gumpa thats great I printed that and now have the worlds best driving sounds, but still one and one of the best for the speed guys is SAMMY HAGAR can't drive 55 its classic

 

Someone please tell me tHAT THEY HAVE AT LEAST HEARD SAMMY HAGARS CAN'T DRIVE 55 before I expire it is old and I can't take this excitement

 

Yep, I have. I liked it when I was 12. Now I need something FAST and loud. Preferably a song that makes my ears BLEED.

 

"Fireball Roberts" by Jack Baymoore and the Bandits

I'm surprised no one has listed it. That song just makes me want to push my right foot through the floor.

//Magnus

 

Thanks for putting that together Gumpa. That's a very good list of songs. I have most of those in my collection. There's a couple more car-tunes I like on an disk by a band, nobody's heard of, called Little Village. It's Ry Cooder John Hiatt and Nick Lowe. The best one is "She Runs Hot"
I'll show you how she runs
Screamin like a demon
When the quarter mile comes
She might run cold for you
She runs hot for me

 

I second "Transfusion" by Nervous Norvus, unfortunately it almost came true for me not long ago!

 

Okay I updated the list with the new ones so if you don't have them yet you should ad them. I am going to clean them up and put them in alphbetical order pretty soon and then I will replace the list here with them.

 

Green Onions!!!!!

 

Damn that about says it all!

 

Damn, I forgot about that one.....it's on an old 8 track tape in the garage...except the player died (and was cremated 30 years ago). Great instrumental!!!!! Love those exhaust sounds at the beginning of it, reminds me of an old flathead I knew once .

 

it's been mentioned but

Hill Country Hot Rod Man by Junior Brown

always makes me put my foot down

 

Hey, I'll add my two cents on this:

Judias Priest - Breakin the Law
Hi-Winders - Twin Pips and a Columbia but
Link Wray - Rumble
Motely Crue - Live Wire

Ken

 

Okay guys go back and look at the list again. I cleaned it up so it is readable and printable. Gumpa

 

"Johny Cool" - Setzer, case closed.

 

69 El Camino - Southern Culture on the Skids
Pontiac Blues - Rory Gallagher version

Most of the album "Hot Rod Lincoln Drags Again!" From 1963 by Charlie Ryan including: Hot Rod Lincoln, Hot Rod Race, Hot Rod Hades, Burlington Chase....

CRAB

 

"gettin' it on" - Corrosion of Conformity

 

I am trying to keep up with editing my post of the list as much as possible. So keep Checking Back, Gumpa

 

I like the car song about BMW's.. ...inside joke!

 

Hotrod Lincoln, Thunder Road theme song, Drug Train, Long White Cadillac and in a 'drive too fast, not really a hot rod song' area is Rock Boppin' Baby by the Blasters

 

Hot Rod Lincoln
DeadMans curve
Surf City (because it talks about a 34 Wagon...)

 

How many of ya remember chinga chava & country porns version of "dry humpin' in the back of a 55 ford" on playboy records circa 1976

 

Well you know I did, I mentioned it.

 

Race With The Devil by Gene Vincent.

 

gumpa: awesome job going through all those posts to make the list...for your next edit I found a couple of errors to make it easier for people looking for the music:

".Kickstart My Heart – Metallica,"
should be
".Kickstart My Heart – Motley Crue,"

and
".Dragula White Zombie Fuel – Metallica,"
should be split to 2 separate lines/songs:
".Dragula - White Zombie,"
".Fuel - Metallica,"

thanks
