Mount Rushmore of songs about cars/driving

cartman · 02-25-2021, 12:42 PM

Been a while since we've had a Mount Rushmore. Looking forward to the time when road trips can be taken carefree once more. You know the rules: your four songs about cars and/or driving to make up your Mount Rushmore. There should be lots of fodder for this one, and a lot of different lists.

I had over 20 songs I considered. Here's mine in no particular order:

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Maybellene - Chuck Berry

Radar Love - Golden Earring

Little Red Corvette - Prince

Greased Lighting--Cast of Grease
Little Red Corvette--Prince
Drive My Car--The Beatles
Drive Me Crazy--Orville Peck (yeah, yeah, way too new to be on a Mount Rushmore, but my mountain = my rules)

Rush - Red Barchetta
Weird Al - Stop Dragging My Car Around
Random Beach Boys Song.
Sammy Hagar - I can't drive 55.

On the Road Again deserves a place

CrimsonFox · 02-25-2021, 03:06 PM

Cars by Gary Numan
Red Barchetta by Rush
Going Mobile by The Who
Highway Star by Deep Purple

Sammy Hagar - I can't drive 55
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Rush - Red Barchetta
Prince - Little Red Corvette

And while not worthy of a spot on Mount Rushmore, Speed is a kick ass song from LA Guns.

L.A. Guns - "Speed" (Official Live Video - Milan, IT) - YouTube

I think we're done here.

albionmoonlight · 02-25-2021, 03:37 PM

Ooooh. Good one with Low Rider. Need to figure out what I'm gonna kick off my for that.

cuervo72 · 02-25-2021, 04:29 PM

I'm assuming Born to be Wild would be more motorcycle, and therefore ineligible?

Others to possibly consider:

Mercedes Benz
Pink Cadillac
Cruisin'
I Drove All Night
No Particular Place to Go
Little Old Lady (from Pasedena)

Mine would be

Red Barchetta - Rush
Stickshifts and Safetybelts - Cake
Bitchin' Camero - Dead Milkmen
Fun Fun Fun - Beach Boys

ETA: Two tough omissions would be Truckin' and Fast Car

JAG · 02-25-2021, 04:57 PM

Radar Love - Golden Earring
Dead Man’s Curve - Jan and Dean (points for depicting an actual driving event)
Hey Little Cobra - The Rip Chords
I Get Around - Beach Boys
