Newsflash: Rock and Roll is dead.
Again? Man, it's tough when the fate of an entire genre rests on the shoulders of Florence and the Machine.
Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.

Newsflash: Billboard Singles are irrelevant.
Amy - I think that was it - because it did sound Springsteenish at the beginning and then all jangly guitars afterwards. (You know what I mean.)
From the Chicago Tribune: Top 10: Ranking the best cars songs
I do love "Red Barchetta." "I Can't Drive 55" sucks. "Bitchin' Camaro" is awesome. "Low Rider" is cool.
They rank "Little Red Corvette" as #1, which I agree with. But they neglect Big Star's "Big Black Car," as well as "Hot Rod Lincoln."
eta: Oh yeah, Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues" definitely belongs in that list. Like at #2 or so.
No Chuck Berry?
Gee, they don't mention "Beep Beep"?
Oh I hate it when you have to keep clicking to see the next one.
I hope it's already on the list but if not, "Brand New Cadillac"!
I also love that song about Highway 1 by The Hoodoo Gurus. I think it's called, "In the Wild."
Hec, are you familiar with Bis? They're a Scottish indie pop band from the late nineties that I think you'd dig. I heard "Tell It to the Kids" many years ago, and it stuck with me such that I collected more Bis songs over time, but I picked up their first CD, The New Transistor Heroes, at Half-Price on Saturday, and it is fun TO THE MAX. Look at the video for "Sweet Shop Avengerz"! Listen to "Popstar Kill"! In conclusion, they have a song called "Dinosaur Germs."
They also did the Powerpuff Girls End Theme Song.

Ah. I knew I had heard of Bis somewhere....
Ooh. eMusic has The New Transistor Heroes - I'll have to get that....
Hec, are you familiar with Bis?
Yep, "Action and Drama" is probably my favorite song by them. I put it on my Pop Treats - All Sorts mix between Shampoo and Vitamin C.
