Racing Music

[RSTPerformance]

A few weeks ago I created a "music player" for our website (www.rstperformance.com) to play racing related songs that people could enjoy listening to while viewing our website for some added enjoyment (not that the content isn't amusing enough).

Currently I have 1 "techno song" created using f1 engine sounds on our into page, then once you have entered the site you can listen to 3 different songs by the arist "Cake." I wanted to add more songs, enough so that people could actually just open the site, and shrink it and just listen to music while doing onther things on the computer.... can any of you help me make a list of racing and/or car related songs to put into the "mix."

I would be glad to share the flash file when I have a decent amount of songs to be played.

thanks for any help;

Raymond

I think it would be cool to have a IT videos page like specmiatavideos.com cool music to our silly races!

I want to listen to the Techno song but my AOL and windows won't let me load your web site because it can not verify the author.
The theme from Grand Prix might be appropriate for your site.

Sammy Hagar has the famous "I can't drive....Fifty FIVE!" song...

[turboICE]

Cake - The Distance

Edit: note to self it helps to read more than the title before posting...

PS - I like VanHalen - Panama when I am at the track, whether racing related or not.

PS: USGUYS- I am not sure how to get AOL to "verify" the Author??? I will work on it, but can't guarentee that I could fix it

How about "Stroker Ace" I think it's David allen coe, or something.

Just thought of one...it's really old, and drag oriented...""409" by the Beach Boys..just to shake things up a bit.

[ITS5GB]

Whiplash...Metallica
Are you gonna go my way...Lenni Kravitz
Cake...The Distance(already mentioned but a for sure)
And for you greatest crash segments...It's the end of the world...REM
Jerry was a race car Driver..not sure of the artist
I made a nice DVD using Movie Maker on my Windows xp. Used all those songs. Ended up with a greatest hits movie that's 18 minutes long that doesn't bore my non-racing freinds and family

Yeah as an official old fart, that came to mind as well. Lots of good car songs from the 60s. I think "Little GTO" would be good. Even better, if you can find it (perhaps the VW guys can help) would be a recording of "Kleine GTi" from a VW commercial around the time you boys were born! It was in German to the tune of Little GTO. BTW, for those who don't know any German, "kleine" is German for little.

Oh, and it was supposedly written by "Fritz and the Autobahn Commandos."

Radar Love-by Golden Earing. Not actually racing per say, but it is about driving a car, and always gets my feet tapping.

George H

"I Met My Baby in the Porta-John Line" (by Nothing Fancy)

[dickita15]

wow more old guys like me on this thread that I would have thought.
I will second radar love, plus steppenwolf born to be wild and meat loaf bat out of hell.

I was once at a solo one where a gut in a mgb blasted bagpipe music in his car during his timed runs.

"Little Deuce Coupe", by the Beach Boys. How's that for old? Or, to go back even further, the Jan & Dean collection: "Little Old Lady from Pasadena", "Drag City", and the always popular "Dead Man's Curve."

[tderonne]

Black Sunshine - White Zombie
Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry (Supposesdly there were "Jesus Built My Hotrod" quarts of oil as promos, never saw one though.)

Edit.

A little googling found a quart of oil, $50. Yikes.
And this review of the Jesus Built My Hotrod single CD:

A pure shot of adrenaline... With vocals so fuzzy and incoherent that they sound like they are sung over a cheap CB radio, this song is all 1960s NASCAR. It's all about speed; the raw unadulturated power of a V8 set to music. Listening to this song while behind the wheel is a transcendental experience. As the pounding "DadaDOOMP DadaDOOMP..." of the drums drive forward, the foot cannot resist the accelerator. Soon the engine, the dashed centerline of the highway, and the spedometer needle smacking against the maximum speed peg all come into sync with the music. The driver becomes immersed in the task of driving, attuned to every aspect of his engine, and then becomes one with his engine. Man is machine, and machine is man. Jesus Built my Hotrod.

I have to go dig out the CD....

[JamesB]

I am big in to techno, breakbeat and drum and bass, so most of my music is fast enough paced that unless the vocals are off they all sound good to me when I compile video.

Another oldie: "Hot Rod Lincoln"

[lateapex911]

Just please, no matter what you do, do NOT use Queens "We are the champions"...the most over used and self serving song known to man...I beg you!
