And, of course, weve added a little commentary, because thats what we do.Like, for example, we noted that this online poll must have a attracted a younger audience, as some of the dusty old favorites missed the final cut in the top 2.Little Old Lady from Pasadena or I Get Around.No Fun, Fun, Fun, and no Beep Beep.Devastating to us was the lack of Convoy, Switchblade 3.Ode to my Car. Oh, well.The readers have spoken, and this is what they said 1 Red Barchetta by Rush.We think someone stacked the deck somewhere, driving traffic to the poll from a Rush message board or something.Red Barchetta as the best car song of all time Thats what the poll said.AOL Radio is powered by humans Great radio is all about unexpected connectionsthe kind that an algorithm cant predict.Pick any station in any of the 30 genres.Music is essential at a wedding, especially at the reception.But some songs are just way too clicheor earravagingand people are tired of hearing them.These. Its not what we say.Too foreignand we dont mean the Canadian band, we mean we had to look up what a Barchetta was.Best Lyric I fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar, tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime.Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen.Now were talkin This is quality music right here.The song was originally written and recorded in 1.Best Lyric My pappy said Son your gonna drive me to drinkin if you dont stop driving that hot rod Lincoln.Radar Love by Golden Earring.VevRegQ5_YwQaf-qbjikxa0YwVI=/768x0/filters:no_upscale()/GettyImages-157951333-59a75e70054ad9001177ec61.jpg' alt='One Direction All Songs Download Zip' title='One Direction All Songs Download Zip' />In the United States, the Dutch band was a three hit wonder, with Radar Love topping the gearhead charts.Its basically a song about hearing voices in your head.One Direction All Songs Download Zip' title='One Direction All Songs Download Zip' />Best Lyric Ive been drivin all night, my hands wet on the wheel.Theres a voice in my head that drives my heel.The unknown songOur fourth most voted item in our poll of readers was a song not listed here.We thought we came up with all the possible top hits for the gearhead world, but evidently not.This ones a fill in the blank entry.You get to pick. 5 Fuel by Metallica.While were partial to Whiplash while driving far too fast, Fuel is the mainstream car song from Metallica, fronted by James Hetfield who is a legit car guy.Hes had a couple cars built by Rick Dore and featured in HOT ROD over the last half dozen years, and heres one from Blue Collar Customs.Best Lyric Ohhh, on I burn fuel is pumping engines burning hard, loose, and clean.And I burn, churning my direction, quench my thirst with gasoline.Little Deuce Coupe by The Beach Boys.The ultimate standard car song As a point of trivium, the car on the album cover is Chili Catallos 3.Ford from the March 6.HOT ROD, and the photo came from the same shoot by Eric Rickman.Best Lyric Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill, but shell walk a Thunderbird like shes its standin still.Shes ported and relieved and shes stroked and bored.Shell do a hundred and forty in the top end floored.Highway Star by Deep Purple.We never thought of the Highway Star as being a 7.Corvette, but that was the spin on this single artwork that came out well after the songs 1.Machine Head album.Most righteous organ solo ever Best Lyric Nobody gonna take my car, Im gonna race it to the ground.Nobody gonna beat my car.Beach Boys. This reminds us of the Chevy billboard a few years ago that proclaimed, They dont write songs about Volvos.Win. The Beach Boys wrote about Chevys in 1.GM engine of the time, the 4.B body platform cars.Best Lyric When I take her to the track she really shines Giddy up giddy up 4.She always turns in the fastest timesGiddy up giddy up 4.My four speed dual quad Posi traction 4.Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf.The opener mentions getting your motor running and heading out on the highway, but aside from that, we barely consider this a car song.Even so, its become one of the standards of hot rodding with your eight track blaring.Best Lyric I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder.Racin with the wind, a the feelin that Im under.I Cant Drive 5. 5 by Sammy Hagar.Sammy used to be pretty reliable with the car guy songs, even going back to his days in Montrose.We remember seeing his Trans Am in Car Craft and HOT ROD back in the early 8.SEMA with him in a private concert.Sammy still has some pretty cool supercars and Mustangs.Best Lyric A big black and white come and crushed my groove again.East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed.This is the classic from the soundtrack of Smokey and the Bandit, and while we live the song as our own private anthem, we cant help but feel it dominated Jerry Reeds career in a way he probably wanted to live down.Even so, ever hear the West Bound and Down sequelBest Lyric Keep your foot hard on the peddle, son never mind them brakes, let it all hang out cause weve got a run to make.Lowrider by War. We appreciate that the readers picked this one, as the subject matter doesnt exactly hit the hot rodding mainstream.But it is one of the best car songs with great imagery.Best Lyric Low rider dont use no gas now.Low rider dont drive too fast.One Piece at a Time by Johnny Cash.Whats really impressive about this one is Mr.Cashs hair on that album cover.Looks like he stole Michael Landons schtick.The song, of course, is about stealing stuff from the Cadillac plant to build a car with parts over a dozen years of production.Hot rodding, right Its as close to a novelty song as any on the list.Best Lyric So we drilled it out so that it would fit, and with a little bit of help with an a daptor kit, we had that engine runnin just like a song.Slow Ride by Foghat.The British rockers unleashed this one in 1.Were a little ashamed that HOT ROD readers picked not one, but two songs about driving slowly.Best Lyric There are none.Its all about slowing down.Dragula by Rob Zombie.Heres one off the classic rock plot It seems to be a car song based solely on the recall to Drag u la, the Tom Daniels designed coffin rod seen on the Munsters TV show and Munsters Go Home movie, circa 1.Surprise to your car fans, Rob might actually be talking about a dude vampire in womens clothes.Best Lyric Well, pretty much the whole song is, Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches, I slam in the back of my Dragula.Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett.Because, on your music mix, you usually want to hear Mustang Sally right after a little Rob Zombie.Heres another car tune where the original artist Mack Rice got shafted when the better version came out, and that better one came from Wilson Pickett in 1.Ford Mustang was let out of the corral.And for the record pun intended, this is another song with a few too many suggestions about slowing down.Best Lyric I bought you a brand new mustang bout nineteen sixty five, now you come around signifying a woman, you dont wanna let me ride. Full Spectrum Warrior Ten Hammers Ps2 Iso Roms there. Racing in the Streets by Bruce Springsteen.This is one of the most legit car songs on the list, certainly hitting some highs not seen since the hot rodding pop songs of the Beach Boys influenced 6.Well forgive the mention of fuelie heads for a 3.Best Lyric We take all the action we can meet and we cover all the north east state.When the strip shuts down we run em in the street, from the fire roads to the interstate.Theme From Dukes of Hazzard.This one is not so much an epic song on its own as it is the aural icon of some of the most gearhead influential moments from the childhoods of most of our audience.Without Dukes of Hazzard, there is no post 8.With Dukes, there was almost no post 8.Chargers. Best Lyric Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born.The General Lee by Johnny Cash.This just isnt a good song.Wed rather hear Mamas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys with Jon Schneider.Howeverbecause General Lee.See above. Best Lyric Im a charger that charges through the night like an orange bolt of lightning passing everything in sight.Im the best pal that you boys ever had, Im thunder on the highway lookin bad, bad, bad.Shut Down by the Beach Boys.This one wears out after the ten thousandth time you hear it at an oldies cruise night, but check back in with an open mind and you realize this is a really cool tune about street racing.Best Lyric Superstock Dart is windin out in low, but my fuel injected Stingrays really startin to go.To get the traction Im ridin the clutch, my pressure plates burnin that machines too much.The Annoying Songs You Shouldnt Play at Your Wedding.Music is essential at a wedding, especially at the reception.But some songs are just way too clicheor ear ravagingand people are tired of hearing them.These are those songs.Between picking a venue, finding a caterer and making sure invitations get sent out, planning aRead more Read.This list from the data driven folks at Five.Thirty.
