Music and Cars

Music has been the backbone of human culture for hundred of years. There are spirituals for different groups of people, favorite songs for individuals and national anthems for countries. Just like music, vehicles are a part of human life that people can't live without. People rely on cars to get to and from work, to and from school and to travel across country in. Vehicles keep the country moving, even if the congestion problems on the roadways keeps getting worse by the day.

How do music and cars go together? There have been plenty of songs written about certain cars that are still popular today as well as bands named after cars. Most notably, and most obviously, The Cars. Their most popular songs were Hello Again, Just What I Needed and Drive.

Songs throughout history that have paid tribute to cars have been done by Prince, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Wilson Pickett, The Beach Boys and War. There songs about cars not only were popular because of the music but also because of what they were talking about. Prince's song was Little Red Corvette, Springsteen's song was Pink Cadillac, The Who sang Jaguar, Wilson Pickett did Mustang Sally, The Beach Boys were famous for Little Deuce Coup and War was popular for Low Rider. Low Rider is now the theme song for the hit sitcom George Lopez.

Once music videos became popular one band created one of the most popular music videos of all-time by using a car, a wind machine and a beautiful girl. That band was White Snake. The song was Here I Go Again, arguably their most popular song. The girl in the video was actress Tawny Kitaen and she was writhing all over the Jaguar of David Coverdale, the band's lead singer.

The song that most people associate with cars is Life is a Highway from the decade of the 1990s by Tom Cochrane. The song peaked on the United States Billboard charts at #6 in 1992 and it became a number one hit in Canada, his native country. His song, by far his most popular, has been used in movies, television commercials, radio spots and covered by the band Rascal Flatts.

Anywhere you go music and cars have a love affair with each other that can't ignored. People drive around with their tops down and the radio on, blaring their favorite music while out for a cruise with their friends or family members. The most recent 'driving' song or song about cars was done by the band from New Jersey Bon Jovi. Their song Lost Highway was released on their new album Lost Highway in June of 2007. Musicians have dedicated songs to the open road, classic cars and all types of vehicles throughout the history of entertainment and continue to do so today. Producing and releasing songs about cars and driving are as popular as ever because they hit home with the American people, who not only love their music but also love their cars.
