Dave,
Thanks for the suggestions. I uploaded all but Merc Man into the Junior juke box today.
I also included -
Buick 59 by the Medallions
Maybellene by Chuck Berry
Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett
Any ideas for the 1940s?

Does anybody ever recollect hearing or seeing sheet music for a song which had a title (or chorus) to the effect:
"Roll-Royce Papa, yo' Tin-Lizzie Mama Gonna Haul You Home! "....
Unless I completely fabricated this in my sub-concious ( I don't think I'm THAT creative), I think this was a 1930's blues ditty...
Ring any bells ?
BTW - the juke box on the Junior page is GREAT ! 
( I still can't get over "Since Henry Ford Apologized to Me"...  ! )

Frank,
I was able to find a copy of Rolls Royce Papa on-line that you can listen to. It is in a real audio format.
Rolls Royce Papa by Virginia Liston
Once the page loads, scroll down to the title. It isn't the clearest copy but is the only one that I could find that you could listen to on-line.
Dave,
Thanks for working on the 1940s Car Tunes. I have only been able to come up with one - The Automobile Song by Benny Bell.

24T42,
Thanks so much for that link ! I almost had tears of joy welling-up as I listened...(yeah, I've got a soft streak that way when the nostalgia bug bites  ).
I'd heard Virginia Liston before, singing "You've got the right key, but the wrong keyhole..."
I'm comforted to know that I wasn't starting to imagine "songs that never were"...
Cheers !

Great thread everyone...I still want to get songs on our new site. You folks got me to thinking about a favorite record from my teenage years and I just found it one Amazon and it is new. Now to get it into CD format...it was a alblum from a folk singing group called Joe & Eddie who mixed folk songs, show tunes etc with gospel. I had an eclectic taste as a kid! Still do...

Frank,
Glad you enjoyed it and that I could find the link for you.
--------------------------------
OK - I need some help here!! Anyone speak German? I found this song earlier today but unfortunately it is in German. It was recorded in 1909. I know it is about an automobile but ....
Here is the link (I have not yet loaded into the Jukebox on the Junior AACA web page because I am in the process of redesigning the songs by decades). Remember in order to use the audio player, Flash must be installed on your computer.
1909 - Autoduett aus Hochparterre
Thanks in advance.

Frank, You don't happen to have the lyrics in print do you? I can translate if you do. The name of the song, "Autoduett aus Hochparterre", in English is "Auto Duet from Raised Ground Floor". It is a literal translation though. Could very well mean "Auto Duet from the Stage". Carl

This is upbeat and instrumental.... Theme from Sanford and Son...! I play the tune in with my other car tunes at car shows. When the Sanford and Son song cranks up I request that all car nuts rise and place their hand over their chest and let out a yell call'n the name of Sandfords wife...!!! It's my own junk yard dog salute.

The Stanley Song

Steve,
Here is a car song that can't be too familiar. The lyrics of the song are located at this site:
Stanley Song
And there is also short video clip that features Mickey Rooney and I believe a Model 70 Stanley from the Movie Summer Holiday singing the Stanley song:
Video Clip from "Summer Holiday"
Has anyone ever seen this movie? I wonder where the car is now.
Alan

Alan,
According to the Turner Classics Movie web site. Summer Holiday will be shown on the Turner Classics Movie channel on July 26 at 10AM (I think this is Eastern Standard Time). Set your VCRs.

Hey Oldscarnut, I don't think anyone has brought up the best car song ever, sung by the lovely Dina Shore, something about seeing the USA in a Cheby. Can you use that?

Alan,
I just uploaded the Stanley Steamer song into the Junior AACA juke box, which is located in the section called Stop, Look , & Listen. It can be found on the Car Tunes 1 page. This is a vocal selection.
Enjoy!
