There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Megan,
Do you still need these three:
“Little Red Corvette” by Prince (I will also send a cover that makes me laugh).
“Little Deuce Coupe” by The Beach Boys
“Pink Cadillac” by Bruce Springsteen
and do you want anything else?

Perkins,
Yes! I got home and realized I also had "'92 Suburu" by Fountains of Wayne and the Beach Boys' "Shut Down", but if you have their "409" that would be great.

I don't have 409, but I will send the others shortly.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Since no one else mentioned them, there's a handful songs by Sally Crewe and The Sudden Moves.
- My Heart's a Motorway
- Good Morning, Aston Martin
- Rear View Mirror
- Drive It Like You Stole It
- 0-60
- Got a Car, Got a Job
And some of her other songs mentions cars in one way or another as well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Musicistas-- we just ordered this poster, due to loving the band and the design. [link] In cruising around their site, I noticed that these guys do a lot of different music and art-related stuff and they have some gorgeous work. They are not too big, but just yummy to look at. Also, not real expensive.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here's one for me and DXM:
What happens when two great songwriters decide to focus their talents upon their favorite sport? You get the highly entertaining debut disc from The Baseball Project, Volume One: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails. The album is the brainchild of Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3) and Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, Minus 5, and R.E.M). The two musicians were longtime fans of each other’s work throughout the 80s but never met until the early 90s. Wynn recalls, “I honestly think the first time we met was side-by-side at the urinals at the Offramp in Seattle when I played there in 1992.” He adds, “Scott didn’t try to shake my hand.”
...The end result is an album that impresses not only with its depth of both widely known and obscure baseball lore, but with its melodic sensibility, walls of guitars, and catchy choruses. No, Frozen Ropes & Dying Quails does not require a PhD in pitching mechanics or membership in three fantasy leagues to enjoy on a purely musical level. The joyous chorus of “Ted ####### Williams” would probably compel Babe Ruth to sing along. “Broken Man” is about slugger Mark McGwire, yet anyone can identify with the semi-tragic tale of being built up and then being humiliated in public in such a brief span of time. And in “Jackie’s Lament”, Mr. Robinson’s trials while breaking baseball’s color barrier become an anthemic call to anyone who overcomes life’s obstacles.
