Cruisin’ With Lyrics About Cars
Musicians and cars—it’s a love affair that comes close to rivaling relationships with the opposite sex, if not leaving them in the dust. Auto-erotic songs and lyrics are as integral to rock and roll as guitars, drums, and spleen-vibrating stacks of Marshall amps. Even the toughest, leather-and-chains-clad rocker can instantly melt into sentimental, dewy-eyed moosh at the tantalizing sight of a curvaceous Ferrari F-60 or the bone-rattling sound of a big-block muscle car. Fast living and fast cars have fueled countless songs and lyrics. Here are a few tire smokin’ tunes:
“I’m in Love with My Car” – by Queen
Written and sung by drummer Roger Taylor, this song and its lyrics are the ultimate ode to love between man and machine. With the passion of a beau serenading his one-and-only, Taylor croons the lyrics, “I’m in love with my car/Got a feel for my automobile/Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar/Such a thrill when your radials squeal.” The song’s grand finale is the revving sound of Taylor’s own Alfa Romeo. Maybe that was the car’s way of saying, “Look, uh, you’re a great guy, but can’t we just be friends?”
“Highway Star” – by Deep Purple
Feelings about a car cross the double yellow line between love and possessiveness in the lyrics of this Deep Purple classic: “Nobody’s gonna take my car/I’m gonna race it to the ground/Nobody’s gonna beat my car/It’s gonna break the speed of sound.” Appropriately, this fast song with its fast lyrics about a fast car is considered to be the first speed metal tune. The song and its lyrics were written fast, too—penned on a tour bus on the way to a gig in 1971, and performed onstage that same night.
“I Can’t Drive 55” – by Sammy Hagar
The Red Rocker redlines his music and lyrics in this protest against driving his four-wheeled friends within the speed limit. Hagar was inspired to write the lyrics, “Write me up for 125/Post my face, wanted dead or alive/Take my license and all that jive/I can’t drive 55” when he told a cop, after being pulled over for speeding, “I can’t drive 55!” That excuse didn’t get him out of a ticket, but it did get him a hit song. The tune and its full-throttle lyrics were later re-recorded for NASCAR as “I Can’t Drive 65.”
“Cadillac Ranch” – by Bruce Springsteen
This nitrous-injected song and its lyrics are about a man’s eternal love for a classic beauty—the chrome and steel variety, that is. Although it would be hard to make the distinction just by hearing the opening lyrics, “Well, there she sits, buddy, just a-gleamin’ in the sun/There to greet a working man, when his day is done.” The lyrics soon clear things up about who the lucky dreamboat is, and how Springsteen want to go to that big scrapheap in the sky with her: “Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts/Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth/Well, buddy, when I die, throw my body in the back/And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac.” Now that’s devotion!
As long as cars are being immortalized with flattering music and doting lyrics, their value will never depreciate!
