Hi and welcome to another edition of On That Note. CF's weekly post on music topics, hosted alternately by myself, @CycloneRulzzz and @cyclones500.
Last week's post on the topic of "Have A Drink On Me" can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-have-a-drink-on-me.246380/page-7#post-6568022
This week's topic is "This Year's Model". Described as: songs that specifically mention a car Make (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Mercedes etc) or a vehicle Model (Corvette, Mustang, GTO, Beetle, etc.). Mention can be in the title, lyrics or both.
One caveat, songs that mention the word, "car" or "automobile" but DO NOT call out a Make or Model are ineligible (example - the Beatles' Drive My Car). Or even songs about car situations that don't include a Make or Model are not eligible (such as Chuck Berry's No Particular Place to Go).
As usual, I will kick the topic off with 5 that popped into my cranial cavity as I pondered the topic.
Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else: "My car's out front and it's all mine, just a 41 Ford, not a '59..."
The Kinks - Cadillac: Not only do the lyrics mention the Cadillac, they even spell it, "C A D I L L A C!" (FYI, original version was by Bo Diddley)
Dwight Yoakam - Long White Cadillac: Sticking with the Cadillac theme here. Yes pulling something from the country genre.. surprise!
Chuck Berry - My Mustang Ford: There are several songs meeting the criteria from this Rock and Roll legend. Other CFers can post them. I like this lesser known gem.
The Refreshments - 55 Ford: No explanation needed. See my Avatar. Yes, it's a '55 Ford.
