Labor Day Travelin' Songs: Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Friday, Bob Stroud's Ten at Ten was Planes, Trains & Automobiles in honor of all those of us who hit the roads, rails and air over this Labor Day weekend.  We stayed close to home.  Plenty to do here and I'm also protesting the Isaac Gouge.

TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN'--  AEROSMITH--  Aerosmith's version from Get Your Wings  (Thought it was Blackfoot)
LAST TRAIN TO CLARKESVILLE--  MONKEES--  Their debut single  (I miss Davy.)

PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT--  MEATLOAF--  Back down here in a lasivious sort from Bat Out of Hell.  (Bet I misspelled lasivious.  Where does Stroud get these words?  Always reminds me of the impromptu singing of this song I did with the female bartender across from the Preservation Hall down in New Orleans.)
JET AIRLINE--  STEVE MILLER--  Up, up and away from the Book of Dreams (And here I always thought it was "Big Old Jet Airliner."

CARS-- GARY NUMAN--  Very Euro-sounding from The Pleasure Principle
ROCKIN' DOWN THE HIGHWAY--  DOOBIE BROTHERS--  From Toulouse Street (The album that really broke them out.  One of the greatest driving songs ever made.)

PEACE TRAIN--  CAT STEVENS--  Sooner or later, a seat reserved for each of us on the peace train from Teaser and the Firecat.  (Do you think humans will ever stop fighting?  Doubt it.  Well, if you're not on this train, you might be destined for the last selection.)
HOLIDAY ROAD--  LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM--  A little road trip with the Griswald's, anybody?1983 and the soundtrack to "National Lampoon's Vacation."  (Another great road song, this time with the dog killer.)

MUSTANG SALLY--  WILSON PICKETT--  1966  (The "Wicked" Pickett!!)
CRAZY TRAIN--  OZZY OSBOURNE--  Sooner or later, there's a seat reserved for us on the crazy train.  Blizzard of Oz music.  (I've been enjoying playing the original Black Sabbath akbun lately, but Liz is not so keen on it.)
