Because today's Music Monday post theme over at Dolly's this week is *MY* suggestion (clears throat and dusts shoulders): songs about cars. In other words? RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!
This selection is an old favorite from Bruce Springsteen - and this is very important because Bruce Springsteen is really not my kind of music. But there's something about this one that has always hooked me from the get-go, from the groovy bass lines to the horns to the slighty twangy, rockabilly-ish sound and lyrics such as"They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac."
Pink Cadillac
And since I wouldn't be me without a heavier song, here's another:
Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry
Be sure to come see all the cars The Music Mamas came up with, as well as with all the other Music Monday participants at the following sites:

I love music from "The Boss"! Nice to hear again too. I had not heard the second song before but of course it is you!
ReplyDeleteRock on! Thanks for playing along this week.
Hehe, I threw the second one in at the last minute. That is one of only a handful of songs that I like by The Boss :)
DeleteI knew Pink Cadillac would pop up on my radar today. lol BTW, love your musical theme for this week. Like Naila Moon, Jesus Built My Hotrod is new to me, so I thank you for the introduction. Gr8 to have you on the dance floor with the 4M crew!
ReplyDeleteI Can't Drive 55 with Janis Joplin, Wilson Pickett, & Commander Cody in the backseat!
Absolutely! I don't listen to much from Bruce Springsteen, but that always gets me moving. Ministry is a little more taste-specific!

It's a great song, isn't it? I had a lot of fun with this theme, too. I may extend it into freebie week :)
DeleteMinistry is pretty damn heavy and a wee bit manic but I actually dig it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Scots Lass!
DeleteGreat tunes! I loved that you mixed it up with Ministry. So cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise! I had fun mixing it up!

Howdy, Colette! Thanks for stopping by; I spent Monday and Tuesday working 12 hour shifts so I am just now getting caught up on visiting everyone. I think the pink Caddy is pretty awesome myself :)
