first song that came to my mind...

Classic! I prefer his TV show theme song based on the Mickey Mouse club theme song, which I still find myself singing on a regular basis: A-L-E-X-E-I S-A-Y-L-E, Alexei Sayle, Alexei Sayle..., which always ended with a cute little kid saying "Who is that fat bastard?"

That song actually belongs in another thread, though - who knew Alexei Sayle could pop up in so many org threads in one day?

That song is NOT about cars.

The best car song of them all:

Greased Lightning - John Travolta

Cosmic Car - not sure of the artist

'Cartrouble Parts 1&2' - Adam & The Antz.

suckas to the side, I know you hate my 98

sextonseven said:

Neither is "Trampled Underfoot" by Zeppelin.


Greased and slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools...

and so on and so on. I think they are pretty cheesy lyrics as far as Zeppelin lyrics go.

Anyway, I already did the "car lyrics that really mean they're talking about women" thread last year.
