Car, Motorcycle, and Driving Themed Songs
 
GUIDELINES
It is preferred that the primary subject of the song be a car, motorcycle or driving. However, there is a little grey area here. If a song is just somehow evocative of driving that's acceptable, but perhaps a bit weak. Consider Drive by The Cars as a borderline case. Maybe we'll have two branches, strong and weak.

Rio is actually the first album I ever bought. I mowed some guys lawn and paid like $7 for a cassette in about 84'. Cool album actually.

I do know it's not about a "CAR"--it's about a broken heart.:p


So any song that even mentions a vehicle<:huh:

Yeah, it's kinda borderline. But I ALWAYS had the image of driving in my mind with this. The language is evocative of driving in some sense. :huh:
