Songs That Mention Specific Cars

[NYCgrrl]

I don’t recall if a car type is mentioned but that’s because I play this at the top of the volume button and my brain stops working

Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett

 

[snowwite]

 

[AppleDumpling]

It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me - Billy Joel

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
Can't you tell that it's out of style?
Should I get a set of whitewall tires?
Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental

It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me - Billy Joel

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
Can't you tell that it's out of style?
Should I get a set of whitewall tires?
Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental

Sticking with Billy Joel, he also has these two:

From Movin' Out:
"... He's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac (ack, ack, ack, ack, ack)..."

And from Miami 2047:
"...And life went on beyond the palisades
They all bought Cadillacs
And left there long ago..."

 

[NYCgrrl]

Still remember this from Thelma and Louise. Seems like Cadillacs are the premo car to sing about in the US of A.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Yeah, lots of songs about Cadillacs and Chevys.

Sticking with Billy Joel, he also has these two:

I’m a big Billy Joel fan. There’s probably others, but here’s a few more…

Captain Jack-
“You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet.”

Keeping the Faith-
I thought I was the Duke of Earl, when I made it with a red-haired girl, in a Chevrolet.”

And
We Didn’t Start The Fire-
mentions Studebaker and Edsel

 

[BlueStarryHat]

The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)- Jan & Dean:

The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
But parked in a rickety old garage
There's a brand new shiny red super stock Dodge

 

[NYCgrrl]

I’m a big Billy Joel fan

Yeah he’s from Long Island so his car love makes perfect sense

I remember the first time I saw this group with my then bestie at the Mercer Arts Center. We decided to see them simply because we read about them in the Village Voice. Another time in my life.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Almost forgot this line in the song:
“…drive a GTO…” prolly because the main topic of “Trainspotting” seems to take over.

 

[RedAngie]

She came from Planet Claire
I know she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light
