The Best Car Song

[dutchie01]

 

Sentimental mood on a saturday night. Thinking about the absolute best car song ever in the whole world and beyond. Ever.

For me this is Neil Young with Long may you run. A song about one of his old chevys.

Challenge!  Who knows a better one?

Chuck Berry:  “Jaguar and Thunderbird”

[NemesisUK]

Beach Boys "Little Deuce Coupe"

 

[ALAW]

Prince}- Little red corvette

[Mr Vlad]

Highway Star. Deep Purple. Nuff sed 

[Kissu]

I agree with Mr.Vlad Highway star by Deep Purple,but got to be the live version from Made in Japan,although I do have a soft spot for Neil Youngs Long may you run,love the lyrics!

[Brian R]

Bad Company, Movin' On, preferably at full volume!

This has to stand a better than even chance of winning the thread:

All good songs so far.  
But nothing that compares with Kraftwerk “AUTOBAHN”, impressionistic electro music from a bygone age (1974!!!) when driving on motorways was enjoyable.  YouTube choices range from 3 to 20+ minutes, so pick your own.

Sorry to be pedantic Phil but that is a Creedance Clearwater Revival recording not a John Fogarty solo (he did write it though). Great song, good choice👍
