OK, we know that rock n roll started in the good old You Ess Of A and that the good old boys had a head start on songs about cars. They seemed obsessed!
You can go back to Chuck Berry, motorvatin' over the hill. "I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville.".
You can go back to the birth of rock'n'roll - to Ike Turner saxophone player Jackie Brenson and the immortal 'Rocket 88' (no-one would dare write about an Oldsmobile these days).
You can back even further to the black and white era. George Gershwin's car horns feature in his 1928 classic "An American In Paris".
The car song is a staple of rock and roll. It's a part of our lives. The car song has poured out of car radios the world over for as long as anyone can remember.
