TRANSFUSION was a hit song in June, 1956. How do I know? It was on the car radio the one week I had between High School graduation and starting the first day of my exciting 37 years working for Uncle Sam. The singer was in fact Nervous Norvis, and it was in fact a crazy song.

I've got the 45 RPM of MARY LOU at my Florida place if you want me to put it on a tape anybody. Couple trucker songs I can think of were Wolf Creek Pass (don't know the singer) and Six Days on the Raod by Dave Dudley. Both were C&W songs. Oh yeah there was another one about 15 years ago about a phantom truck in the desert, but I can't remember the name of the song or the singer. Anybody got the answer to that one?

Steve, "eclectic" is probably an appropriate word alright, even though I probably don't know what it means. But if it means what I think it means, no wonder you didn't like the GREAT lyrics of Chuck Berry in "Maybelline" 
Dave: "Terraplane Blues" is as old as I am, and that's REALLY old, believe me. Lemme see, did they even have 78 rpm records in 1938, or were they still using those tube records?

Just wanted to bring this to the top so as to remind you that Summer Holiday will be shown on the Turner Classics Movie channel tomorrow at 10AM (I think this is Eastern Standard Time). Set your VCRs.

I don't know what happened but they didn't show Summer Holiday yesterday and it is not showing up in their schedule anymore. I have asked that they show it and that notify me when they do. In the meantime, tomorrow night (Thursday - July 28) at 8PM EST, they have scheduled on the Turner Classic Movies The Long, Long Trailer with Lucy and Desi. I haven't seen this movie in a coon's age. Thought you might want to know.

I want to thank everyone who has offered suggestions for Car Tunes. I have finished re-organizing the Junior AACA Car Tunes juke box by decades. Also I have loaded several new songs (many suggested here).
1. 1909 - Autoduett
2. 1926 - Rolls Royce Papa by Virginia Liston
3. 193? - My Baby Austin Seven by Clarkson Rose
4. 1949 - Mercury Boogie by K C Douglas
5. 1951 - Riding in My Car (Car Song) by Woody Guthrie
6. 1951 - Sunday Driving by Jerry Lewis
7. 1954 - Cadillac in Model "A" by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys
8. 1956 - Transfusion by Nervous Norvus
9. 1980 - Crazy About an Automobile by Ry Cooder
--------------------------
If you would like to listen to these songs, go to the Junior AACA web page, click on Stop, Look, and Listen then choose your decade.
Enjoy!

I am sure it was mentioned, but I did not have time to read all of the posts.
One of my favorites is "One piece at a time" by Johnny Cash.
I also like "I've been everywhere" - even though I have not.

Any ideas for the 1940s?
Judy,
I recently purchased a brand new (2005) 4 cd box set of '40s and '50s car and train songs titled Trains and Cars. A German release on Membran Music, it is about 1/2 car songs in either early R&B or Rockabilly/Country styles. If you're still looking for '40s songs there are a number on there not on the web site. There are quite a few early 50's songs as well which are not on your list.
My Convertible Cadillac by The Treniers (1947), a slow, jazzy R&B number that's too good to be so unknown. 
Keep Your Motor Hot by George (a.k.a. Dave) Stogner (1949), Straight country, a little flat but with a good slide guitar/fiddle solo.
Won't You Ride in My Little Red Wagon by Tex Williams (1947). Upbeat country song about Radio Flyer wagons, not the woodie kind. Still kinda cute for kids to listen to.
Hot Rod Baby Dick Reinhart (1948). Slow, smooth country more about women than cars (much like Terraplane Blues).
Lost Highway by Leon Payne (1949). More of a travel song, straight country.
Highway 99 by Lowell Fulson (1947). Classic traditional blues from a master, but again more of a travel song than specifically about cars.
The Traffic Song by Joe Lutcher (1947). Semi-humorous slow r&b about traffic violations from an interesting 1940's African-American perspective.
Truck Driver's Blues by Cliff Bruner (1939). Country-blues which was one of the first trucking songs recorded.
There are also at least 2 dozen similar early '50s songs (mostly more directly car-related) that I've not come accross before as I don't collect country as a rule. Included are all 5 versions of Hot Rod Race (Hot Rod Lincoln) by Arkey Shibley, as well as Cadillac in a Model A, Ethyl in my Gas Tank, Hardtop Race, Woman Driver, Hot Rod Shotgun Boogie, and many others. It's a cheap box set (I paid $18), so it's worth looking for.

I think Raymond Scott had an instrumental titled "War dance of the Taxi-cabs" ?
He was famous for little novelty instrumentals in the '30s & '40s, frequently used in many Looney Toons...anytime somebody gets run through a factory processing line, you'll hear Scott's "Powerhouse" backing up the scene.
Another of his hits was "The Toy Trumpet"...

, but I prefer the fidelity of my Robert Johnson box set cd.
