Whats your favorite racing song?
Just wondering.

Metallica's "fuel" by far the best, but i like Def Leopards "Pour some sugar on me" rocks also.

I'm a little older so "Radar Love" by Golden Earring. Not really a racing song, but it gets me to "shiftin gear"

Guess I'm showing my age but "Little Deuce Coupe" is hard to beat.

I would have to say Commander Cody's "Hot Rod Lincoln". Just seems to be a 'classic'. http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

"GRUDGE RUN" BY I HAVE NO IDEA (OLD)

"The Distance" by Cake.

"Danger Zone" by Loggins & Messina - Movie 'TOP GUN" theme song

Everett 68/350/PG/11.90/115 mph

"I Can't Drive 55" Sammy Hagar?

"Kick Start My Heart" by Motley Crue...

When I get high,
I get high on speed,
A top Fuel Funny car is
a drug for me......
Kick Start my Heart!!

Well, as long as we're dating ourselves!

"409" by the Beach Boys
Radar Love by Golden Earring
Little Deuce Coupe

And, of course, I can't remember the title but the lyrics go "Buddy gonna shut you down"......

I think one of the best racing songs are "DRAGULA" and "BLACK SUNSHINE" by Rob Zombie. And "FUEL" by METALLICA has to be one of the best!

Aerosmith -

Train kept'a rollin' all night long

Train kept'a rolling, all night long

I'm in heat, I'm in love,

but I just don't have the time to stay...

Down shift. Foot to floor. Go.

I can't wait for spring.

Good picks everybody! Gotta agree with Sleeper on the Zombie songs too! I'll also throw in "Mean Machine" by Sugar Ray. Yes, that Sugar Ray, but this is from their old album when they used to rock!

"Don't you dare mess with my mean machine!
It's long! And slick! And olive green!
A '68 coupe is all I need!"

I kinda like "Rev on the Red Line" by Foreigner. I think that's the title, anyway, that's how the lyrics go. It's not my "favorite", which already listed, but it's worth mentioning.

then: '67 coupe; '88 IROC; '95 Z28

TWO SONGS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN MENTIONED THAT I LIKE ARE "DETROIT ROCK CITY" BY KISS AND
"STAND ON IT" BY THE BOSS.

I like SS-396 by Paul Revere an the Raiders,with the flip side Camaro by The Cyrcle!!Both were released by Columbia records as a promotion for 1967 Chevrolets.There was also another SS-396 with a flip of Corvair Baby.Talk about some groovy tunes,Peace,love an stop the war!

One of my favorite racing songs is My Favorite Game by the Cardigans. It just makes me wanna do powerslides. Guess ive been watching the opening movie scene to Gran Turismo 2 a little too much http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif

got me under pressure ZZ TOPS and most of there song's

Lots of Beach Boys songs were about cars and racing, one of my favorites is "Don't Worry Baby".

PANAMA; Van Halen. She's runnin' hot tonight...

JD

I like the beginning of "Hot for the Teacher" by Van Halen. Sounds like a Camaro with the correct cam installed. http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif Also "Fuel" is great, esp. since the video features a Camaro. Even thought about that as a license plate. Would that be wrong to have a firefighter plate that says FUEL?

right on jvolk81, i also love that song. the song itself doesn't have much to do with racing, but since its in the opening video to GT2, i always associate it with racing anyways. I love that game, and as soon as GT3 for the PS2 comes out im all over it. Anyways, have u seen the music video to that song? Its a litte messed up but kinda cool. later Jon

'89 Bonneville SSE

Dirty White Boy by Foreigner. Just love that one. makes me want to rebuild something.

How about "Dead Man's Curve". You gotta love any song where a Vette eats up a Jag.

All of songs on ZZ Tops Deguello ALBUM. That's right, I said album. "I Thank You", "She Loves My Automobile", "I'm Bad, I'm Nation Wide", "Cheap Sunglasses", etc.

Well right now I like the new one by Sammy Harger(Let Sally Drive)427 10.13 in the quarter mile.Five speed 4.11's ect.

Though it's got nothing to do with cars, I think the best racing song is Stone Cold Crazy by Metallica.
Fast and Loud, thats what it's all about. http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

By the way, int the opening to Gran Turismo 2 is that really the Cardigans?
for some reason i always thought it was Garbage. Oh well.

Black Betty (bam alam), hot rod lincoln(usualy change the words) and old lover boy. and just about any song that reminds me of my first BB camaro. Sometimes just the roar of the engine was music to my ears. you can call me odd, just don't call me collect, haha

Bruce Springsteen's "Racing In The Street".

I got a 69 Chevy with a 396, fuelie heads, and a Hurst on the floor.

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camero with this dude from L.A.

Yeah, The Boss spelled Camaro with an "e" on the album jacket insert. Now, before any of you guy's ask what an album is............
I have to put my daughter's Britney Spears CD in.

Dead Mans Curve (Jan and Dean)

How about "Flirtin' With Disaster" Molly Hatchet

"Drag City" by I think Jan and Dean?
And since Zombie has been brought up, how could you have NOT mentioned Supercharger Heaven and Thunderkiss '65???

Oh, and what about "Bitchin' Camaro"???

For "old time" hardcore racing songs, you probably can't beat Dick Dale and His Deltones, and their album titled "Checkered Flag".
Another "old time" group with really good songs about cars and racing was "The Super Stocks".
A couple of "newer" (relatively speaking) songs that are great are by Bob Seger. They are 1. Get Out Of Denver, and 2. Nutbush City Limits. Put either of these two songs on and you just CAN'T resist lighting up the tires.

Ok I've read enough. How can you call yourself car song guys and nobody says anything about mustang sally.Is there a bias on this board against women drivers?LOL!!!

Mustang? Bias? Maybe a little! haha

Put me down for vote #4 on "FUEL" by METALLICA. I love seeing that 68 gettin airborne! YEEE-HAAA http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

Trampled Underfoot/ Led Zeppelin
Wipe out/Surfaries(?)
Uneasy Rider / Charlie Danials Band

Hey 68, DEFINITELY Supercharger Heaven. That song flat rocks.

I like "Jailbreak", "Beatin' Around the Bush", and "Burnin' Alive" from AC/DC. "Bad Motorscooter" by Montrose (Sammy's old band before VH) is another good one.

I can't believe I'm the first to bring up that classic Steppenwolf song:

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Gotta go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Thats right-"Born to be wild"

I also happen to love "Little GTO", by Ronnie and the Daytonas.

Little GTO
Your're really lookin' fine
3 dueces and a 4 speed
And a 389
Listen to her tach it up now
Listen to her whine
Come on and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO!

Heck, I'm only 17, 99.9% of my high school has never heard of either of these.

zgator-

I knew I'm not the only "redneck" here ! LOL!!

Hey shiner I'm 17 too and I've also herd both of those songs and I am spurprised that know one mentioned them earlyer

Jimmies Chicken Shack - "High". After all, isn't a pass down the 1/4 just a legal high??

Did not see anyone mention this one, how about "HIGHWAY STAR" by DEEP PURPLE. The first time I heard that I was out with my buddy in his new/used 70 SS 396 Chevelle, 4 Speed. The first time I heard that song and rode in that car. I love that song......
