Instant Carma

A list of song titles that include the names of cars. I'm being kind here, so they can be make or model, and I'll even allow songs that aren't really about the car, but happen to use a car-related word, such as, er, Thunderbird by Seasick Steve.

  • Beetlebum - Blur. Here is a VW Beetle:

  • Bluebird - 10CC. Here is the Nissan Bluebird:

  • From A Buick 6 - Bob Dylan

  • Cadillac Ranch - Bruce Springsteen. Even Burt Reynolds in the black Trans-Am / All gonna meet at the Cadillac Ranch.

  • Pink Cadillac - Natalie Cole

  • Cavaliers - Blue Aeroplanes
  • Chevrolet - ZZ Top
  • Red Cortina - The Saw Doctors

  • Escort Crash On Marston Street - Heavenly
