Gamma post yesterday about being pulled over by the police inspires this week's theme of speeding, police, and fast cars. As a kid this was one of my favorites.

None of the videos of the the actual artist performing the song seemed as good as this one.
I am often amazed - living here in Upstate NY - when I see how people in other parts of the country live/work/drive in places where it is so flat. How DO you do it, living where there are no mountains?

This band is the Cars. The video is different. I would have a hard time drivin on this side of the road. Apparently Gamma, listening to AC/DC, would feel normal on that side of the road. 
Just sayin. What?
Just sayin. What?Hey...I heard this song today and forgots about it..This song came out when I was first dating Mr Gamma. He was traveling around the country installing spray booths in autobody shops. He worked for that company for 19 years. He would be gone all the time. He went to a spray booth convention in Vegas in 1991 and they got so many new installs that he did not come home for over a month. He went from installing in Vegas to Vancouver. Money good but it was tough for the poor bugger.
I still git that lil pitter patter feeling when I hear that song. I could not wait for him to come back home...missed him terrible..
Sometimes I wish he would "go away" now.... J/K...
No I am not...

When I was working in Dallas in the late seventies my boss came in my office one day and closed the door. He said "I just found out my nephew is now known as Meatloaf. Am I happy or sad?".
OK I am gonna do a BB impression...
1988...college chem lab every Tues and Thurs 6-9 pm...we would crank that Meatloaf song up every week while we were trying to blow the friggin place up..
Actually, a bunsen burner blew up on the team next to me...they lost their eyelashes and part of their eyebrows...no chit...the year later after I dropped out they totally re-did the whole science building..LMFAO..It happened to the nerdiest, best students in the bunch go friggin figure...they are prolly top surgeons in the country now...)
Meanwhile me and my partner did not know what the frig we where doin...and nothin ever blew up on us...
I have very good memories to that song....I can't tell....really....can't tell...but they were friggin great...

Hmm. how about the real Song of the Century for the driving beat?
Gamma, you too young for this one?
I think every person from our era remembers driving down the road...when everything clicked into perfection and this song would come on at just the right time!

The rangers had a homecoming in harlem late last night
And the magic rat drove his sleek machine over the jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain"
