24T42 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24T42 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaffer Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave@Moon Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Any ideas for the 1940s? </div></div> Judy,I recently purchased a brand new (2005) 4 cd box set of '40s and '50s car and train songs titled <span style="font-style: italic">Trains and Cars</span>. 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.<span style="font-style: italic">My Convertible Cadillac</span> by The Treniers (1947), a slow, jazzy R&B number that's too good to be so unknown. <span style="font-style: italic">Keep Your Motor Hot</span> by George (a.k.a. Dave) Stogner (1949), Straight country, a little flat but with a good slide guitar/fiddle solo.<span style="font-style: italic">Won't You Ride in My Little Red Wagon</span> by Tex Williams (1947). Upbeat country song about <span style="font-style: italic">Radio Flyer</span> wagons, not the woodie kind. Still kinda cute for kids to listen to.<span style="font-style: italic">Hot Rod Baby</span> Dick Reinhart (1948). Slow, smooth country more about women than cars (much like <span style="font-style: italic">Terraplane Blues</span>).<span style="font-style: italic">Lost Highway</span> by Leon Payne (1949). More of a travel song, straight country.<span style="font-style: italic">Highway 99</span> by Lowell Fulson (1947). Classic traditional blues from a master, but again more of a travel song than specifically about cars.<span style="font-style: italic">The Traffic Song</span> by Joe Lutcher (1947). Semi-humorous slow r&b about traffic violations from an interesting 1940's African-American perspective.<span style="font-style: italic">Truck Driver's Blues</span> 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 <span style="font-style: italic">Hot Rod Race</span> (<span style="font-style: italic">Hot Rod Lincoln</span>) by Arkey Shibley, as well as <span style="font-style: italic">Cadillac in a Model A, Ethyl in my Gas Tank, Hardtop Race, Woman Driver, Hot Rod Shotgun Boogie</span>, and many others. It's a cheap box set (I paid $18), so it's worth looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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"...

Guest imported_GeorgeCagle Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Here is a much more recent song that I have never seen mentioned here. It is Red Barchetta by Rush from the Album "Moving Pictures" (1981). This song was inspired by the story "A Nice Morning Drive", written by Richard S. Foster. There is a 1981 movie starring Lee Majors and Burgess Meredeth called "The Last Chase", which was inspired by the same story. A few of the lyrics are: "Down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine - for 50 odd years. To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.I strip away the old debristhat hides the shining car.a brilliant red Barchetta from abetter vanished time."I think the uncle must have been an AACA member!

Guest De Soto Frank Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 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... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_GeorgeCagle Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_JPIndusi Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 When Buick sponsored the Milton Berle TV show in the 1950's there was a catchy tune about driving a Buick.

Guest my3buicks Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 There was one called "My Buick, My Love, and I" and I believe that is the one your thinking of.

Egao No Genki Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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.shtmlA 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...)

starfireelvis Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 "Rip It Up", originally done by Little Richard, 1956. Second verse:"Got me a date, and I won't be late,Pick her up in my 88".Besides Mr. Penniman, this song was covered by the all-time greats from the '50s; Elvis had it as the lead song on his second album, Bill Haley & His Comets had a Top 40 version, and others like Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, and Gene Vincent (plus more I'm forgetting, no doubt) cut versions of it.

rocketraider Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Do the carmakers' ad jingles count? 1965 "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick? Buick, '65 Buick"I have a bunch of Jam Handy Olds ad jingles LPs, but unfortunately not computer-savvy enough to transcribe them.I'm sure there's some obscure stuff in my own record collection too.

24T42 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am glad you enjoy the Jukebox. I only upload new songs when I have the time to prep them for Internet listening. The first problem is to obtain a copy. The file must be of the mp3 format. If it is in wav, I can convert it to MP3. I am sorry I haven't uploaded anything lately but I have been busy working on the new AACA 75th Anniversary web site. Please stop by and take a look - no Jukebox though. I will see if I can't upload a couple of new tunes for you this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Nash Rambler by The Playmates </div></div><span style="font-style: italic">Beep Beep</span> was released in 1958. The "little Nash Rambler" it referred to was almost certainly a 1957 Rambler Rebel, the first big block mid-size car. The Rebel had a 255 hp engine, with 13.0 lbs per hp. The fastest Caddy in 1957 was probably the 325 hp Eldorado, with 16.67 pounds per hp. The 300 hp Coupe de Ville (5048 lbs) was identically dialed in at 16.67 pounds per hp.<span style="font-style: italic">Beep Beep</span> was deadly accurate. That's why it's so funny!
