Hey, anyone know any great songs to put together for a rotary themed CD?

some obvious ones would be:

You spin me right round - Dead or alive, and covered by everyone and their brother, I believe

Round and 'round - Ratt

I can't drive 55 - Sammy Hagar (not quite a rotary song, but still a must have....

I have some other ideas, but they get further from "rotary themed"

Lets see what kind of sound track we can put together here

 

Machinehead is great driving music.
You could always find that old blues song about buying a rotary rocket and driving it to the moon.

 

"Around the World" by daft punk :-D

course i just love techno... so....

~Geoff

 

amen to that

cake - the distance
cake - race car yaya

and the other 1/2 of cake songs about cars..

 

lightning crashes by LIVE

"like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind"

-greg

 

WIN!!!

 

anything by the band "ARIA"

www.ariarock.com

if you like hard stuff that is gotta blast them if your in a spirited driving mood!!!

 

How about " Several Species of Small Furry animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"?

 

Don't turn around - ace of base... for those of you with locked engines.
Warm machine - bush... everyone knows rotaries like to overheat
Legend of zelda theme/any remix... TRIFORCE
Spin spin sugar - sneaker pimps
what goes around comes around - catch 22
bouncing around the room - phish
Rx Queen - deftones

 

that song that goes

"get your motor running.... head out on the highway"

it should be "Get your ROTOR running, head out on the highway" hehe that would kick ***

-greg

 

Even though I do'nt have a system in mine a got some good music.
BT-godspeed
BT-Dreaming
A lot of other BT stuff
Stomp to my beat (a song from DDR)
Dam Dariram DDR
B4U-Naoki
If you want anymore techno tell me.
And finally the last and best one

MY FIRE-DDR That is the best driving song ever

Even though none of these talk about cars they're all cool and good driving songs.

 

Is "My Fire" also called something else? I'm having a tough time finding it.

 

Jesus Built my Hotrod - Ministry.

The wonderful Zoom Zoom song (mp3 somewhere on one of Mazda's overseas sites).

Just adding to the thread - you don't want me to post my lastest 160-song CD playlist .

 

Mine is SilverRocket - Sonic Youth .... but it doesn't make much sense for anyone else lol.

 

"Little Mazda" (surf music) by me.

 

There is a punk/rock song called "RX-7". Too bad it talks about a nonreliable pos that always breaks down. Its about a 1st gen.

 

Yes! I found that rx7 punk song. The songs true though.
At least he fixes it and drives away again. Awesome song.

 

Jerry was a race-car driver - Primus =)

 

There's just something about Saliva's "Click Click Boom" that make me want to do psycho burnouts and drive over 100mph or something.

 

Ah man, you guys already mentioned all the ones I was going to list. Oh well, this song is rather unusual:

Prefab Sprout - Cars and Girls

 

How could anyone forget Highway to hell(ac/dc)?
And other good highway tunes:
Hella good-no doubt
Big pimp'n-Jay-z
Left behind-slipknot
Any DJ venom song
Part up-DMX
Blue monday-orgy
Feel so numb-rob zombie
Lit up-Buckcherry
That's just my 2 cents

 

That's born to be wild, i forget exactly who sings it, I ~think~ it's CCR or maybe sethenpen Wolf.


~Yet another good hi-way song~
Smoke on the water-deep purple

 

How come no one's mentioned Joe Satriani? Surfing With The Alien has some of the best weekend night car drivin' songs ever!! I've used that CD to stay awake on more than one lonely cross country cruise...

 

Steppenwolf.

 

"lookin for adventure, and what ever comes my way....... Born to be Wild!"

lol

born to be wild. now that would be funny to see some guy with a mullet and some police style shades rocken that song.
