Does exist any really good song about motor racing?

Post by Trigger Happy »

I know, that we have one general topic about music (and next about New Year Eve), but I cannot resist to make another one. :band:

I know that several bands or artists tried to make songs dedicated to motor racing, its heroes or cars commonly, but I cannot remember any good one ATM. I reminded only few and they obviously have quite stupid lyrics unfortunately. :doh: Do you know any real good one, please? :flip:

Yello - The Race. This one was kinda successful in the end of 80's in Hungary, and was used later too.

Yea, that's good one. :D And Going the Distance too. ;) Youtube links welcomed BTW. :hiya:

I remember now the Satriani's one (no problem, that's only instrumental ;)), than Queen's one, George Harrison's about F1 and that's all.

Somewhat close to the theme, I can only think of a Finnish classic.

It tells about a guy who dreamed of being a rally driver :mrgreen:

Most of NFS songs are good actually, just depend on your musical taste...

I was talking more about songs made with true passion to cars or racing made from real will rather than of things made on purchase order as menu stuff, even if it can sound well sometimes too. ;)

This is a good song:

*grabs Buka by lapels* You leave my playlist out of this! :rolf: :roflmao:

Now, not motorsport related as such, but who could forget the anthem of the cars:

Kraftwerk was in my mind too.

Then... DJ Visage - Formula (oh god...) :lol:
And...
TeeJ - The Race. I don't really know if the original has some racing sounds. Tim Dawes remix does have some, but it sounds just as cheezy as That Visage song does, so I don't want to link it. Here's Uplifter remix of it instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaGA_NCTo8c
Ok, the song itself isn't about racing, but it has a cool music video anyways: Ferry Corsten - Watch Out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W8GshbJ4r0 (Yeah, the quality is horrible. Gotta love these labels' video releases...)

That song doesn't actually tell about motor racing...

But tells how you should be in a race. Be Quick or Be Dead.

You REALLY should read the lyrics...

Driven by RUSH on Test for Echoes may go in here... :) The video is just crazy :hiya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl2t5lU57Xw
A part on the song... wrote:Driven up and down in circles
Skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool's paradise

It's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

Driven to the margin of error
Driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole

Good one, TGF. :clap:

And when I saw the word ''classic'' said by Aleksi, I remembered another great song (how could I forget on it? :oops:):
Bugatti Step - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reMYQSKRO24

Song written by Czech Jazzman Jaroslav Jezek as tribute to greatest lady driver of all times - Elizabeth Junek, 5th in Targa di Florio 1928 and winner of 2 litre class of German GP on Nordschleife in 1927. :o

Can you hear sound of the huge engine of her Bugatti in that song? :bowdown:

Autoramas - Você sabe
Autoramas (slot cars) is a band which used to have a car-related style on some of their riffs and videos. Although that, the lyrics doesn't have to do with racing...

Except for that, all I know is some road songs. But not about races.

I was going to say about Cars (already listened to the original, of Gary Numan?)

The Primus one is cool too.

Uhh... ...Turbo Lover by Judas Priest?
