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.

"and I'll even allow songs that aren't really about the car, but happen to use a car-related word, such as, er, can't think of one right now, but I'm sure you will."
Yes - Thunderbird by Seasick Steve.
Also what about:
Red Cortina - the Saw Doctors
(Hudson) Terraplane Blues - Robert Johnson
O Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin
Fun fun fun (till Daddy takes the T-bird away) - The Beach Boys
Help me R(Honda) - the Beach Boys?
"Antique 32 Studebaker Dictator Coupe" by Ronnie and the Daytonas
"Chevrolet" by ZZ Top
I can't find any evidence that Fun Fun Fun actually has that parenthetical subtitle, but at least that qualifies it for the Very Repetitious list. I am willing to be proved wrong of course.
Help me Rhonda - I suppose I asked for that.
OK - I can't vouch for inclusion of "till Daddy takes the T-bird away" in the title.
But what you forgot to do is to specify that the name has to appear in the title - otherwise you'd have to include "strike a pose on a Cadillac" from "Walk Like an Egyptian."
I think that "Help me (R)Honda should technicaly be included as the word is there in the title
Love the photos
What about "Bitchin' Camaro" by the Dead Milkmen
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Tony Orlando and Dawn
Morris' Nightmare by Jimmy Buffett
"Down in the islands where the happy folks stay
Everybody do what Bwana Jim say
He say its ok, it's ok"
Which would bring one to "Songs in A Minor" by Alicia Keys if album titles rather than songs were allowed
But how could you forget the Wild Rover?
