Cadillac songs
FJ de Winter
Hi,
My name is Franck de Winter, and me and my brother own a 1966 Cadillac
Hearse. In search of good music to play in this car, we are making tapes
with songs where the word 'Cadillac' is used. Any suggestions out there???
Please email to F.de....@inter.NL.net, or post in the newsgroup.
Thanx very much!
Franck and Rob
PS: if anybody knows where to find parts for the car, you can send this
information too!!

Can't forget Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac" (also recorded by Natalie
Cole and others I've heard). There's also a mention of a
"Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac" in Billy Joel's "I'm Moving Out"...

"Maybelline" by Chuck Berry
"If You've Got the Money Honey (I've got the time)" Hank Williams

How about Bob Dylan's Talkin' World War III Blues?
Some time ago a crazy dream came to me,
I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three,
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say.
He said it was a bad dream.
I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though,
They were my own dreams and they're only in my head.
I said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my
brain."
He said, "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane,"
He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!"
As I landed on the psychiatric couch,
He said, "Tell me about it."
Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast,
It was all over by quarter past.
I was down in the sewer with some little lover
When I peeked out from a manhole cover
Wondering who turned the lights on.
Well, I got up and walked around
And up and down the lonesome town.
I stood a-wondering which way to go,
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
And walked on down the road.
It was a normal day.
Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell,
"Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man."
A shotgun fired and away I ran.
I don't blame them too much though,
I know I look funny.
Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend,
I guess there's just us two."
He screamed a bit and away he flew.
Thought I was a Communist.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,
"Let's go and play Adam and Eve."
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'
When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',
You see what happened last time they started."
WELL, I SEEN A CADILLAC WINDOW UPTOWN
AND THERE WAS NOBODY AROUN',
I GOT INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT
AND I DROVE DOWN 42ND STREET
IN MY CADILLAC.
GOOD CAR TO DRIVE AFTER A WAR.
Well, I remember seein' some ad,
So I turned on my Conelrad.
But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill,
So the radio didn't work so well.
Turned on my record player
It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin',
"Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa,
Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah."
I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue,
I needed somebody to talk to.
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind.
"When you hear the beep
It will be three o'clock,"
She said that for over an hour
And I hung it up.
Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then,
Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams,
But mine was a little different you see.
I dreamt that the only person left after the war was
me.
I didn't see you around."
Well, now time passed and now it seems
Everybody's having them dreams.
Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one
else.
Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all of the people cant be right all of the time.
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,"
I said that.

Pink Cadillac (I don't remember which female singer)
That may be titled "Highway of Love" or "freeway of love"if its early to mid
eighties Aretha Franlklin you are thinking of.
I'm going down the freeway of love and I can't look back
I'm going down the freeway of love in a pink cadillac
Since the caddy is a HEARSE, you might want to toss Monster Mash, and
Bloodrocks DOA on the tape for good measure.

_The Janitor Drives a Cadillac_, Papa John Creech and Jefferson
Airplane.
Coronal
Bruce Hornsby, "Rainbow's Cadillac" and "On The Western Skyline"
("Give me a shiny Cadillac").
Jurriaan Themmen
How about Johnny Cash's "One piece at a time " ?
Aren't there any lyrics search engines ?

Try searching www/lyrics.ch/Search.html on the FULLTEXT link for 'Cadillac'.
For Johnny Cash, Cowpie amd American Songs are the sites you should look for.

Can't believe everyone missed the classic cadillac song by the New Colony Six.

There's a singer form Nova Scotia, Canada -- Matt Minglewood...has a
great song on one of his albums called Someday I'm Gonna Ride in a
Cadillac. And there's a country song, maybe it's that Cadillac Style
one someone mentioned, but I thought it was called Daddy Never was the
Cadillac Kind. Not sure of the singer.

since obviously Franck is a man of good taste, we thought it would be a
great idea (not) to mention Modern Talking's "Gironimo's Cadillac".

A great Cadillac song is 'Cadillac Baby' by Roy Brown (early 50s R&B).
Sample lyric:
Long about midnight baby comes knockin' at the door
Sayin' take out that Cadillac, baby wants to ride some more...
Check it out.
Other songs mentioning the word 'Cadillac':

In Rancid's "Time Bomb", the phrase, "black coat, black shoes
black hat, Cadillac, before the time bomb." is repeated several
times. You can try that one.

A search from the International Lyrics Service would give
eleven songs with titles containing 'cadillac' in them.
One may add 'Pink Cadillac' by Nathalie Cole to that list.
In addition I remember the two songs:
- 'Let Me Ride' by the Allman Brothers Band - Seven Turns
".. brand new baby blue cadillac.. "
- 'What do you expect' by J.J. Cale - Shades
"What do you expect | caviar and candle lights,
| champaign every night,
... | cadillac and chauffeur too?
Does anyone care for songs with 'Mercedes Benz', 'Porcshe', 'Mustang',
or even 'Grayhound Bus' in their lyrics?! Let me know :-)
