Rock and Roll Roots Used Car Lot-- Part 4

DRIVE MY CAR-- BEATLES--
FASTER-- GEORGE HARRISON-- From '79 album. Inspired by Jackie Stuart and dedicated to entire Formula 1 Circuit. George was a big Formula 1 race car fanatic.

HOT ROD LINCOLN-- COMMANDER CODY & HIS LOST PLANET AIRMEN-- the 1972 version of an older song. (What's going to happen to his father if he "don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln?")
G.T.O.-- RONNIE & THE DAYTONAS-- '64 (Well, I go for Firebirds.)

UNDER MY WHEELS-- ALICE COOPER--
UNEASY RIDER-- CHARLIE DANIELS-- Chuck Daniels. (A funny driving song that might not have been so funny had they caught old Chuck. Chuck's first big hit.)

I GET AROUND-- BEACH BOYS-- (An ultimate driving son.)
TWO LANE HIGHWAY-- PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE-- (One of my favorite all-time driving songs. If I ever have a radio show, this will be the theme song.)

THUNDER ROAD-- BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN--
EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART-- SOUL SURVIVORS-- (Love those horns and road songs at the beginning.)

MERCEDES BENZ-- GOOSE CREEK SYMPHONY-- a minor hit played on WCFL. (I like this one better than Janis'.)
OL' 55-- EAGLES--

DRAG CITY-- JAN AND DEAN-- Great Lakes Dragway.
ROCKIN' DOWN THE HIGHWAY-- DOOBIE BROTHERS-- (Like they said.)

Now, You've Got Your Cruising Tunes. --RoadDog
