Maybelline.

[red dog 1]

3. Did you know that Chuck Berry used to sleep in his Cadillac?

In his early days, when he played in the South, he was bared from staying at most hotels & motels because of his race....so he slept in his "Caddy" a lot.

Maybelline is a great song, by the way.

It was about a dystopian future where the eeeeeevil government banned cars that run on gasoline, and the narrator's weekly drive through the country in an illegal car.

21. Sort of a car song, but one of my favorites...

Born To Be Wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

[red dog 1]

43. You prefer this version to Wilson Pickett's?

I saw Wilson Pickett several times back in the '60s at the old Fillmore.

There is a movie called "The Commitments" (about a bunch of Dubliners who start a "soul band&quot
The first song they try is Mustang Sally..and they are terrible at first;
but later on in the movie, they do a version of it that is truly great!

It's an excellent film...very funny..and with some very good music.
