What are you favorite car-tunes?

[Davey]

I don't think "Little Red Corvette" is really a song about cars, is it? Hehehe, I hope not

Anyway, that Yo La Tengo take on "Little Honda" is one of my favorites too. PJ Harvey does a pretty cool song about a motorcycle too, about a guy that loves his bike more than her in M-Bike. Kind of like that Queen song about the guy in love with his car.

So...do you think Little Honda was really written about the pleasures of riding a cheap 60s Japanese motorcycle? Yeah, I know, what driving song beyond the early 60s is really not a metaphor for sex?

Another motorcycle favorite was by Lou Reed, the title track to New Sensations. He was riding a new Kawasaki GPZ Ninja, and I had just gotten a Honda Interceptor, and the whole song just felt so good in my life at the time. The whole album, actually. An old favorite. Lots of new sensations in my life at that time.

I took my GPZ out for a ride
The engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, it was forty degrees outside
...

They was arguing 'bout football as I waved and went outside
And I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside
I love that GPZ so much, you know that I could kiss her
