Songs that mention cars

Okay, don't quote me on that one. That's not how it goes.

"But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam".

FWIW, I like my rendition a lot more.

Get out of here! I was thinking of that song, but for the life of me, I can't remember the car reference.

That is clearly one of his best two or three songs.

I did see him once in Philly, by the way.

Oops, i thought you were linking to Jonathan Richmond version. I've never heard Bowie's version before.

I have to say, it takes a lot of balls to cover a punk classic like that one. Not so sure about Bowie going there, frankly....

Much better than Modern Lovers original. Like five times better

In Repo Man I think a car crashes right as the lyric says Eldorado.

I'll give it another try later, but this is where it's at, and no, not even close (not in NY).

It's all about the lowbrow, bro.

The Road Runner version i posted earlier was the first time I've seen it.

From another of the cool kids' song:

"Dinah drove her Chevrolet
Into the San Francisco Bay"

Yeah, it was kind of a cult classic, but one that really sticks with you when you hear it because it's kind of shocking. Jonathan Richmond was really influential.

Road Runner is his classic, for sure, and a better tune to rock out to.

That I ran twenty red lights in his honor

From one of my very favorite Bowie songs:

"He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van"

Did i put this one up yet?

It's coming to me, something about his car is warm and dry....

Shiny metal boxes.

While no lyrics about cars the imagery of the video is all cars and the freedom they bring.. The rhythm and chord progession invokes the feeling of motion.. Like One Headlight, definitely a song for the road.

The original title was "Everybody wants to go to War."

Since I moved to Texas I've discovered Nikki Lane, thank you KUTX. Following Nikki Lane, I discovered Junior Brown.
