Pistonhead moments in songs.

[Baby Huey]

Lyrics that suggest the songwriter has a love of cars and driving.

From "Wanna be in LA" by The Eagles of Death Metal.

"I take the city in the dead of night,
I'm burning gas until I feel alright."

Any others?

[Rollcage]

I dunno about lyrics ,but in the title track of "Travelling Without Moving" by Jamiroquai the first few seconds are a sample of one of JK's Lambos starting up and moving off at a fair lick!

[SGirl]

Can I have a bike one?

"Gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike"

- kind of obvious, that one.

No man with a good car needs to be justified...

(Sample taken from the 1979 film Wise Blood)

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hot Rod

[Dave^]

Ray Stevens - Cannonball Run

"The wheels of his Mustang hit the highway like a slug from a .45"

[obscene]

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Nobody gonna take my car
Im gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car

Oooh its a killing machine

Like a driving power big fat tyres
And everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah its a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
Im a highway star

Rob Zombie - Black Sunshine.

Double choc chip please - nom nom nom!

'Dragula' would qualify too, being about one of the Munsters cars, oh, and 'Two Lane Blacktop' as well!

Rob Zombie is, as the kids would say, the fking bomb.

How about the entire lyrics for Greased Lightning or Little Deuce Coupe?

[Pints]

"Check it out, You better work it out,
Change to another route...
Upbeat Liftin' Shiftin' Persistin'...
With Diesel Power"

The Prodigy

[JaymzDead]

Various parts of Fueled by Anthrax '...a shot of petrol is my bonafide method, to loose control and get thoroughly distracted', 'I'm on the money, here I come, Fuel for my engine, and I'm gone'

Metallica - Fuel is basically about Hetfield being a petrolhead.

[james_gt3rs]

Megadeth - 502 ("Driving fast makes me feel good, speed of light trapped under my hood")

And Megadeth - 1320

[Borris-Bear]

How about

The Bluetones - Autophilia (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love My Car)

I love your bodywork and
your flashy pop-up lights,
the way you hug the corners,
however fast and tight
she comes in 16 colours,
she'll suck your money dry,
gives stty mileage but come on lets get inside.

i love your slinky spoilers,
they really speak to me,
state of the art sound system
leasther unholstery

she purrs just like a kiten,
she seems to throb with pride
gives you the feeling you've been taken for a ride

I like to burn some rubber,
I like to feel the steel,
I like to put my foot down,
I like to take the wheel,
She purrs just like a kitten
She'll go that final mile
But if she's rocking dont come knocking for a while

[Los Palmas 7]

The opening of "Auberge" by Chris Rea features the (very nice) sound of a car being started - possibly his Caterham?

[gbbird]

Cars by Gary Numan

[Baby Huey]

Kraftwerk's Autobahn translated into English.

We are driving on the Autobahn.

In front of us is a wide valley.
The sun is shining with glittering rays.

The driving strip is a grey track.
White stripes, green edge.

We are switching on the radio.
From the speaker it sounds:

We are driving on the Autobahn.



Who knew?

[Ozone]

Queen - I'm in love with my car.

The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin
And the hub caps all gleam

When Im holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hands on your grease gun
Oh its like a disease son

Im in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl Ill have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin
This is the end now
Cars dont talk back
Theyre just four wheeled friends now

When Im holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When Im cruisin in overdrive
Dont have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

Im in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Im in love with my car
String back gloves in my automolove

It's a rover
the engine won't turn over

it's a rover
it's generally driven by someone older
