Modern performance car songs?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

This is something I'd been wondering about recently. The '50s and '60s had plenty of songs inspired by the performance cars people worked on then - "GTO," "Hot Rod Lincoln," virtually everything in the Beach Boys collection, etc. We've got no shortage of hot cars out there now, but where's the music about them? I haven't heard of anyone calling a song "Little Blown Cobra," writing an ode to the LS1's horsepower, or commemorating a dual between a Lancer Evolution and a WRX with music. About all I've heard of is rappers bragging about their Mercedeses and 20" rims. Does anybody know of any good songs inspired by fast, modern cars?

White Zombie's "Black Sunshine" is the first thing that comes to mind.

Maybe some heavy metal band will remake Deep Purple's "Highway Star" Hell...I'm off to Kazaa to see what's kickin' now!

Impellitteri did back in '96 I believe. It was off their "Live, Fast & Loud" bootleg CD! I have a copy of the song if you ever want to hear it.

Impellitteri also has a cool song called "Speed Demon" but it doesn't mention any specific car.

Call me a relic call me what you will
say I'm old fashion say i'm over the hill
today's music ain't got the same soul
give me that old time rock n' roll
