I love the Low Riders on the Dr Dre - Still D.R.E. video.

I adore that video, especially the last two seconds when the musics fades and you hear the hydraulics lifting that Chevy (or whatever it is). Fantastic.

Agree re Mr Robinson though "Cars" is just one of the most annoying tracks ever.

There are so many:

Sting - Fill Her Up
Beach Boys - Fun. Fun, Fun
America - Ventura Highway
U2 - Fast Cars

etc

The Sting track is great:

It's Immaterial - Driving away from home

Very evocative, not a great video though.

Something a bit lighter-
Billy Bragg - A13 Trunk road to the sea (to the tune of Route 66)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PYZu5e1LAg
Can only find a live performance.

"It starts down in Wapping
There ain't no stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon"

I don't mind any music really - as long as its by Pink Floyd, but if I want to connect to my fellow sub-atomic particles, then I'll play this ~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=hii17sjSwfA&feature=related

Dog.

I don't generally listen to music of any sort anywhere, but if pushed then it would have to be this one.

>>I don't generally listen to music of any sort anywhere . . .

Nor, do I Dipstick, nor do I.

I did enjoy your clip, though.

Here's another one I that I find entertaining.

Dunno if it's music, though.

My favourite must be the opening sequence to The Italian Job. Matt Munro crooning whilst a Lambo Miura Canes it (geddit?) round mountain roads.

Pure beauty!

Italian Job - Matt Munro - Days Like These: No mention of cars in the lyrics though a nice song.

-------

"Fill her up"

Mobil station,
Where I stand
This old gas pump
In my hand.

The boss dont like me
Face like a weasel,
All on my hands
The smell of diesel.

Here comes the big shot,
Here he comes!
From the city.
God damn!
A V-8 engine
She runs so pretty.

Can't do it.

Unless I'm on a motorway I just can't listen to music in the car.

I'm a paranoid listener for funny noises in my cars at the best of times, and when the music is on I tend to hear the low-pitched hum of the engine more, and find myself constantly pausing the CD only to hear virtual silence from the engine bay.

Drives me nuts. I prefer the sound of the engine anyway.
