Slick Black Cadillac - Quiet Riot

Springsteen also had a song called "Pink Cadillac"

I'm surprised no one bothered to mention the very song that MBA mentioned in her subject line

"Brand New Cadillac" by The Clash

Oh, of course, Pink Cadillac. Natalie Cole covered it. So terrible.

Also, Ray's Dad's Cadillac--Joni Mitchell
Night Train--Rickie Lee Jones ("swing low, Saint Cadillac")

There's probably at least 6 Tom Waits songs that mention cadillacs, but for some reason I can't think of any that do.

Oh my God! I thought that was a Stereo Total original! They are so sneaky!

Aretha Franklin had a pink cadillac song too, but I'm not sure that was its title. It wasn't Bruce's song.

Dwight Yoakam, "Long White Cadillac"
and "Guitars, Cadillacs" (. . . and hillbilly music)

When he cruised down the street in his El Dorado."

Black Lincoln Continental by Graham Parker

Shake that cocktail and follow the road
The doors are locked and the windows are closed
There's only one way to the American dream
They're awaiting your arrival in a big limousine

In the back of a, black... in the back of a, black..in the back of a, black...
Lincoln continental, lincoln continental lincoln continental,
Black black, Lincoln Continental black black, Lincoln Continental,
Black black, Lincoln Continental

They take you to dinner and you eat off the plate
And you don't taste the poison until it's too late
And seven years later something is funny
Is it the black upholstery or the dirty money?

In the back of a, black... in the back of a, black..in the back of a, black...
Lincoln continental, lincoln continental lincoln continental,
Black black, Lincoln Continental black black, Lincoln Continental,
Black black, Lincoln Continental

The rugs all fake made of persian jute
And the chauffeur got the job by actin' cute
He's watching the speedometer and counting your money
And the big white lines make your heart beat funny

In the back of a, black... in the back of a, black..in the back of a, black...
Lincoln continental, lincoln continental lincoln continental,
Black black, Lincoln Continental black black, Lincoln Continental,
Black black, Lincoln Continental

I'm still partial to the Modern Lovers' original. Great, great song.

Why do they never write songs about pink Lincolns?

Pov · Post by **Pov** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 10:17 am

Hey, Leash, I thought this was a thread for songs about CADILLACS, not Lincolns, but that sure is a nice one. Is it yours?

My father said "Son,
you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving
that hot rod Lincoln."

Hey! I remember that song! Didn't Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen do that song? Good pickin', as I recall...

Naw, that's not my car. Lincolns are too maintenance intensive. I'm more of a Crown Vic sort of guy.

Yeah Cadillacs are nice, too. They're not cheap to run, either, though...
