"Fuel" by Mettalica

I think that's a cover of an old Bob Seger song, Turn the Page.

Roll me Away was a good one by Seger, too.

I CAN'T DRIVE...55
Sammy Haggar
and I have the speeding tickets to prove it.

Posted by: airsix Apr 29 2003, 06:21 PM

Hmmm....

While I'm not a huge Sammy Hagar fan I'm surprised nobody voted for "I can't drive 55".

At age 14 I'd had my drivers licence for about 2 weeks when my Mom's cousin took me for a drive in his new RX-7. He put me in the drivers seat for some high speed canyon carving up the Salmon River from Salmon to North Fork. (Gorgious country if you've not seen it) He put me through some intense instruction (He races bikes, carts, and cars) . I've never sweated that much in my life and won't ever forget it. Hagar was in the tape deck, so the experience is burned into my brain with that soundtrack. I still sweat when I hear that song.

I’m a rock ‘n roll type of guy, but today it’s …

“On the road again, I’m so glad to be on the road again”

I don’t know the rest of the song but I don’t give a shit because….

“On the road again, I’m so glad my 914 is on the road again”


YEEE-HAA!!! WOO-HOO!!! FUCKIN’ -A- BUBBA!!!

Yes, I may be just a tad happy today.

Favorite driving song: Radar Love (Golden Earring version)
Ury - Dixie Chicken, a car song? I don't know about that but one of my favorites just the same!!

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Apr 29 2003, 07:24 PM

Or what about that song "Hot Rod Lincoln"?
He said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin that hot rod Lincoln"

Posted by: bernbomb914 Apr 29 2003, 07:24 PM

On the road again Willie Nelson

Used to take the motor home out for 4 weeks at a time and loved to drive across the USA to that song.
I couldn't wait to be on the road again.

I can't remember the name of the song - I thought it was from David Wilcox - something about a radar gun.

It's radar gun by the Bottle Rockets. Listen to a clip of it here http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002JUT/qid=1051667156/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2_2/702-5868011-3361666 .

Posted by: Jeroen Apr 29 2003, 09:55 PM

I don't see why you guys like "radar love" so much...

Maybe it's because I've seen the Golden Earing (it's a Dutch band) and know they're a very uninspired bunch of jaded old farts...

Or maybe I've played the stoopid song too many times (wake me up in the middle of the night and put a guitar in my hands and I'll play it without opening my eyes)

My vote goes for Red Barchetta, but Radar Love is up there too. Actually, I don't usually listen to music while I drive. It drives people that ride with me crazy. I like just listening to the car. I'm not even going to put a stereo in my 914 I don't think. Maybe a removable unit in place of the center console........got to eliminate some more rust first.

Posted by: Jeff Krieger Apr 29 2003, 11:23 PM

Crawling in the Dark by Hoobastank - I love that song.

Hey, it could be about a guy trying to put his 914 back together "show me what it's for, make me understand it ..."

"Dixie Chicken" by Little Feat may not be a road song, but they did a song on their first album (yes those vinyl discs!) named "Willing" that was.

It went something like this...

"I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made,
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed,
If you give me weed, whites, and wine.."

The old days,

Mike

Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Great tempo. Starts out nice and slow to get the engine warmed up, then kicks it up a little for some spirited driving. Great if you've got a route to match it.

I had to read all four pages of this thread to see if I had anything to add.

Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty
Ceremony - Joe Satriani
Summer Song - Joe Satriani
Nativity in Black - Black Sabbath
Psycho Man - Black Sabbath
The Rooster - Alice in Chains (song about his dad)

In particular I like songs that have you going 100 on the highway for no good reason except it feels good.

Posted by: Jenny Apr 30 2003, 01:07 PM

Jon, I've found myself going 100 to Tom Petty before... I like 'em all 'cept for the black sabbath ones, which I don't know. But it would seem you have good taste. I might have to check them out.

Someone else mentioned Meatloaf's paradise.. My ex was from Modesto, and I remeber driving around town with him listening to meatloaf while he told me the story of American Graffiti. Very cool...

Posted by: jonwatts Apr 30 2003, 01:18 PM

Taste in music and cars, these are some of the important things we must pass on to future generations.

I think if we put together mix CD's and passed them out at our drives the number of "incidents" would go up

Posted by: dan10101 Apr 30 2003, 09:20 PM

Ok,
I finally have my own account.

I didn't see Detroit Rock City yet.


My story is around "Trans-Am". We were caravaning down to the Street Machine West Coast nationals one year. My friend had a 71 Z28. I gave him my tape of Sammy. We had CB's going full blast between the 2 cars. All of a sudden I saw my tape almost go flying out the window. He stopped short of letting go. But let me know that he didn't appreciate the song much.

For those who don't know, one part of the song goes, "my Liscense is IEATZ28.

Anyway. Great list. Who has it on one sheet of paper?

Posted by: jimtab May 5 2003, 08:16 PM

To Brad and the rest of the Texan contingent...what about the true Texas love song...I love my Truck' by Lyle Lovett?? For driving music, give me the early Stones, any Motown and earily Led Zepplen. James Brown's Cold Sweat...OMG that is the one for a hot night at high speed. Afterwards, I like something soothing like Kate Webster, or Brenda Boyken's Smokin' Blues. Also, in the summer on a warm evening I need the Doors. Long live rock! Jim
