Willow ,'Sleeper'
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.
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.
I always liked Sweat Shop Avengers. Unfortunately, I saw them play live in 1998 and they were terrible! Kinda soured me on them for a long time.
Aw, that's awesome. Also, a really good album and a really sweet car.
