What's the best car song?

[gb66gth]

I light of the demise of Pontiac today I've heard "Little GTO" about a dozen times, and it got me thinking about "car songs".
So, let me hear your opinion. What's the best song to get your motor runnin'?

For me; Red Barchetta (Rush)

 

[Phun70]

Barracuda or Little old lady from Pasadena!

 

[ZYellow01RT]

Anything but "Little Red Corvette"!

 

[JonB]

Little Deuce Coupe (Little Blue Coupe, Beach Boys, 1997 VOI-4....VOIs first theme song)
Magic Carpet Ride
Dead Man's Curve
Born To Be Wild

Other notables:

VOI-1 re-write: Little Old Lady From Kansas City, (ex Pasadena) published in the inaugural issue of Viper Quarterly. Sung at VOI-1 to Jean Randall, then 74 years.

VOI-5 re-write Viva Las Vipers, sung by Elvis act as VOIs 2nd-ever theme song.

Jethro Tull- Locomotive Breath and number 2 is Phil Collins In the air tonight then #3 Fleetwood Mac Tusk. Just makes you want to drive forever.

 

[Stretch]

Life is a Highway!

 

[Fatboy 18]

Golden earring - Radar Love
Drag City - Jan & Dean
Magic Carpet Ride - (Great Viper Commercial)

[Gotvenom 08]

Highway Star..... By Deep Purple

 

[Fatboy 18]

Highway Star..... By Deep Purple

I hear yea Liking that too

 

[Golfer15]

I like "Low Rider" - War, and "I Can't Drive 55" - Sammy Hagar

 

[Matt M PA]

Wow... How do you choose the "best" car song? My vote goes for Hey Lowdown by Big Sandy and His Fly Rite Boys. Great recorded... Amazing live. Great guys too.

 

[SkyBob]

"Hot Rod Lincoln" - Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen

 

[Brian GTS]

My vote is "I can't drive 55" - Sammy Hagar

 

[Wedge500]

"Fuel" by Metallica!!!!!

Great song and cool old video that has a Challenger, Camaro, Chevy II doing some street racing.

 

[BlknBlu]

Between the Wheels by Rush.

Bruce

 

[Paul Hawker]

Beep Beep...Beep Beep...the horn went Beep Beep Beep : >)

 

[BlackSnake99]

Between the Wheels by Rush.

I have to agree with Red Barchetta!

[Steve Ferguson]

"Hang on for your life tonight", Shooting Star

 

[Roysviper]

409 Beach Boys

 

[slysnake]

Magic Carpet Ride is one of the best.

I also like a couple of Queen songs that very much have a Viper "attitude".... I Want It All.... and Princes of the Universe.

Then, in another direction, you can't beat Feelin' Good performed by Michael Buble.

 

[thehouseofpower]

Flirtin' with Disaster by Molly Hatchet

 

[Fatboy 18]

Also like
Black & White Thunderbird - The Delicates
Rocket 88
Theme from the film Bullet.

 

[97GTS]

Click, click, boom by Saliva. If the pedal isn't all the way down by the middle of the song, someone isn't paying attention.


Red Barchetta is a great one as well.
