George,

That wasn't by chance the movie where a young guy finds an 1920's Jordan Playboy roadster in a garage, and has a weird deja-vu experience about the whole thing ?


I say this movie on TV back around 1980 or so, but don't remember the title or much else about it...

The young fellow is driving the "restored" Jordan down a country road at dusk, and somehow gets taken back in time to the mid 1920's...

(Does anybody else remember this movie??? I know I'm not making it up... )

I remember that TV movie with the Jordan, but can't remember the title. I do remember the guy packing up two Duesenberg wheels he'd sold to buy the last missing Jordan part.

No, different movie. I remember seeing this one on TV in the early 80's. The movie is set in the future, where cars are banned. Lee Majors had hidden a Ferrari race car years before and finally decided it was time make a stand for freedom. With the help of his nephew they put the car together and hit the road. Burgess Meredeth, on the side of the government, chases them with a prop-driven fighter plane. That was the best part of the movie. The song by Rush was written seperate from the movie but has the same story line.

When Buick sponsored the Milton Berle TV show in the 1950's there was a catchy tune about driving a Buick. Does anyone know the official name for this song?

There was one called "My Buick, My Love, and I" and I believe that is the one your thinking of. I think it's first line is " How I love to drive my Buick, with my Love sitting by my side "

I believe the Ling ting tong song is in there.
"Oh My Angel" by Bertha Tillman is one of my all time favorites.

Austin Seven was sung by Clarkson Rose (though penned by Norman Long) in 1932. I guess the Jukebox can have "32" instead of the "3x" on the song now that we know when it was made.

See http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/m/mylittleaustinseven.shtml

A song I would like to see added to the Jukebox is "Where the Cars Are," sung in 1961 by Dinah Shore.

See http://youtube.com/watch?v=EpOCLD6RfCU (If only this forum could have video-embedding capabilities...)

DeSoto Frank--Wow, someone else who knows and appreciates Raymond Scott! You are clearly a man of good taste.

I forgot to request "Drive My Car" by The Beatles, recorded in 1965.

I listened to this song a LOT in my teen years on a Tiger PC vintage 1998. (I have had it in storage for 25 months now and haven't yet gotten around to copying its HD's contents via a transfer cable.)

(Oh, and on the a cappella version, I would recommend editing out 2:35.5 to 2:42.5, therefore skipping to the ending without the said part.)
