In Cars-Randy Newmann
Deep Purple-Highway song.. I think...

You mean Highway Star-thats so old I forgot about that one. Theres so many songs about cars and girls ,maybe too many. Deep Purple had a dozen or so.

[Mean 318]

Thanks, I even played it today, but forgot. Derrrr.

Metal Church did a realy cool cover of highway star 
Meat Loaf's "Bat out of Hell" not realy about a car but refers to crashing a motorcycle
Dead Kennedys "Buzzbomb from Pasadena"

[71bee]

Black Sunshine - White Zombie
Jerry was a race car driver - PRIMUS

Theres a ton of "OLD" bands that wrote cool tunes about muscle cars. I wonder, now that they are making a huge comeback, will there be any more tire smokin' diddies written???
