Red Barchetta - Rush 

The way Neil Peart constructed those lyrics is perfect I think.

Best? Probably not, but One Piece at a Time by Johnny Cash deserves mention.

There's a great comment to the video:

I think it's hilarious that Gary Numan is two weeks older than Gary Oldman.

And Fear Factory did a great cover of this song. Obviously from them, it's a little heavier, but stays true to the spirit of the song and they included Gary Numan on the remake as well.

More of a truck song but I always loved 30000 Pounds of Bananas by Harry Chapin

Any love for "409"(Beach Boys) or "Little Old Lady from Pasadena"(Jan and Dean)?

And they included a second generation Pontiac Trans Am, too.  smiley

Damn.  I wish this came 1 year earlier so it could have been on the Carmageddon soundtrack

Good songs, but the problem is that (along with Little Deuce Coupe) they get overplayed on the PA systems at car shows...I don't need to hear them on a constant loop while I'm there.

Some great stuff.

Wife's puttung a playlist together.

Might need to be in the Minor Confessions thread, but I like Tracey Chapman-Fast Cars.

Red Barchetta is the only Rush song I like. I am that guy and the car is an Opel.
