The weather was spectacular here yesterday, and it's looking just as good today and a little bit warmer, inching up to about 75 degrees. As I was out taking a scenic drive yesterday, I was thinking about all the songs that have been written about cars and/or driving, and the list is pretty long. I think the Beach Boys probably wrote more songs about cars than any other band or artist, but I can't back it up with any solid evidence. Little Deuce Coupe, Fun Fun Fun, and 409 come to mind pretty quickly, and I know there are at least several more. I have to say that none of them would be what I consider a favorite of mine. Perhaps I'd choose Drive My Car from the Beatles, or maybe Little Red Corvette by Prince? Nah, I don't really care for that one too much. Too cutesy for me. "Pink Cadillac" from Springsteen? Nope, it's just not that cool of a tune IMO. I guess if I was forced to choose, it would be Little Honda, but not the Beach Boys version. I would take the one by Yo La Tengo.

Let's hear your favorite car-tunes.
