Auto-Mo-Billy

This one started on the stupid idea of the name. I wanted to get Rockabilly songs on this pick that all had something to do with cars. Automobiles. I am not really a car guy. My wife. She knows cars. People all around me know cars. My next door neighbor was a champion racer. Friends that love cars. I've actually had some cool cars in my life, but mostly it wasn't on purpose. I always wanted a VW Bus, so I had one of those. I've had English sport cars. An MG-B GT (which was fun just because of all the letters), a Spitfire (wouldn't mind getting another one of those.) I once had a car that had parts of five different model names on it (and five different shades of red paint - I called it my Hot Tamale). My fastest car ever was not my 1964 Mustang which I ruined by making it fast and loud and modern, but an old VW Bug that was also converted to be fast. Porsche engine. It was fun, but I got too many tickets in it. This comp is missing some big name car songs, but I don't care.

Racing Pick 1

I was messing about with Car songs and fitting them into categories for different Picks. Mostly starting with Yello. Which I really like, especially the 12 inch version. It's a more upbeat Kraftwerk. And had two other songs I wanted to use (but I didn't) Yes White Car and Queen I'm In Love With My Car. But they didn't quite make it to the end. And I couldn't put the Rush song with other songs about Super Cars, so I started thinking more about racing and came up with these. It kinda goes with my series On The Road Again and not quite my Cars series (although It came from looking at those.) The last track by Fred Penner doesn't quite fit, but I love the song and I used it anyway. We get all kinds of races and racers in here, but no Wacky Racers. Sorry...
