thanks for posting the thread, Dean.
Hey little Cobra by the Rip Chords. I think my FIRST track day at TMS it looks like i'm 'winning the race' in the infield. (in the photo) What really was happening was you aren't allowed to pass in the infield and i had this lovely little trail of CORVETTES right behind me.... Patiently waiting for the first legal opportunity to pass me. The chorus of that song has the driver of the Cobra killing the corvettes and jaguars, so i just kinda took it on then. Of course it 'fit' when snakeeyes came up with my handle in the first place. Not that my cobra is little (not a sb) but it just seemed to fit me. Thanks Bob!
the '65 Mustang. Well of course I picked Mustang Sally. The words of the song don't quite fit, but I love the sound of Wilson Pickett- the original artist doing that song. Smooth, rough, a mix of sooo many things. "I bought you a brand new mustang... a nineteen sixty five.... all you wanna do is ride around Sally.... Ride Sally, Ride!" And, she does all the driving- not him! that's definitely the story here at my house.
The new 500. I spent an hour or more going through websites with Mustang Songs. I found one- Shelby Ford Blues by Al Blake- but the words just don't fit.
I liked the title though. Great song, nice sound.
Then i found My Mustang Ford by Chuck Berry- but it's about a cherry red '66. nope.. didn't fit either! I really liked Go Mustang by the 'triptides', i like that surfer sound- but couldn't find a 45 or LP ANYWHERE on the web. so....
i jumped in with Wild Wild Mustang by Dick Dale. Haven't listened to all the words, but it'll work ok.
in fact, something about 'sitting at the line...' might go out with the dallas boys and take the 500 'to the line'.
Redline Raceway.
so there ya go!
