Vehicles in Songs

[Stick Legs]

Beastie Boys,

Sound of Science.

"...Now here we go dropping science, dropping it all over
Like bumping around the town, like when you're driving a Range Rover..."

[dandarez]

Lots mentioned but so far not this... great to have on when... drivin'

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, me and Del were singin'
Little runaway, I was flyin'

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's somethin' good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

I'm runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

Slick Rick- Children's Story (Nova, presumably a Chevy Nova, not a Vauxhall Nova)
Snoop Dogg (nee Doggy Dog)- G's and Hustlas (1978 Cadillac Coupe De Ville)

Raced up the block doing 83.. definitely not a Vauxhall

Hip Hop should probably be excluded from this thread.. I reckon I could reel off over 100 songs/cars without a problem

The Shiznit - Lexus coupe/83 Cadillac
Murder was the case - Benz/Jaguar/93 eldorado
Aint no fun - Chevy 64 (red to be exact)
Pump pump - 62 impala

And that’s just doggystyle!

Paradise by the dashboard light - Meatloaf

Steve Earle,

Sweet Little 66

Now I'm a pretty big man around this town
I got me the hottest little Chevy around
My sweet little '66
She got a yellow front fender and a gray one on the back
But my income tax is comin' and I'm gonna paint her black
Sweet little '66

or Copperhead Road

Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound

Robert Van Winkle sang about his 5.0.

[Halmyre]

The Stranglers - Grip

"Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou"

(The Stranglers don't strike me as the Morris 1000 types. A MkIV Zodiac with unpleasant odours seems more appropriate.)

Don Henley - Boys of Summer

"I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac"

Jan and Dean (and The Who)

"Bucket bucket T T, bucket T bucket T"

Blue Oyster Cult

"I got a Maserati G.T. With snakeskin upholstery."

[Starfighter]

Sinitta - GTO

Likely to be a Pontiac, possibly a Ferrari. Not a Mitsubishi.

Beach Boys - Shut Down.
https://youtu.be/2P5RCurT8Yw
About a drag race and various references to Dodge and Stingray.

Carrie Underwood - Two Black Cadillacs
https://youtu.be/oVEBZLrjpw4
References to funeral cars.

Getting some chav songs in there;

“See man driving a German whip blacked out windows leaning back” - German whip by somebody, not sure who.

“I got a black BM, she got a white TT” Miami 2 Ibiza by Tinie Tempah

“Hey little Porsche, I wanna try ya” Hey Porsche, I think that’s by Nelly.

Tonight the Supra trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-p-pra troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-p-pra troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the Supra trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-p-pra troup-p-per)
Like I…etc.

(Although having had sone experience of a 1980s Celica Supra there really was very little chance of being blinded by its beams, you were more likely to be blinded by its ludicrous graphical rev counter...)

[QIOM]

Feeder - Buck Rogers

He's got a brand new car
Looks like a Jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player

Cruising in my 5.0 with the ragtop down so my hair can blow....

I'm disgusted with myself for not remembering this rock classic.
