Topic: Live radio broadcast from Buttonwillow

Bring a boom box for the pits, put a radio in your car because we will be broadcasting live @ Buttonwillow.  WKRaP in Cincinnati.  Not sure of the frequency yet, but once were there we'll be sure to pass the word around.

WKRaP is running  a game show during broadcast.  Every twenty minutes you will hear a theme song from a 60's, 70's or 80's TV show, when you know the song, if you can name that tune then come by our pits for some cool prizes. 

Good luck and enjoy.

I vote for Hot Rod Lincoln

Re: Live radio broadcast from Buttonwillow

We will not be playing the music through a large speaker on the car,  just whoever want's to listen on their own radio.

Hot Rod Lincoln is already on the playlist - Great call...

Johny Cash, one piece at a time - I've got it in my ipod if you need it.

well if we're including lyrics, here you go:

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

[CHORUS]
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

[CHORUS]
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

[Spoken] Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?

The Pussy Wagën rides again,
one of Kill Phils crazy 88's
The B-Team

Re: Live radio broadcast from Buttonwillow

Since you are doing Johnny Cash, you have to add Ring of Fire.  Hopefully you won't have another CMP incident, but it's always good to be ready.  big_smile

Re: Live radio broadcast from Buttonwillow

"Thousand Dollar Car" by the Bottle Rockets. Possibly the most LeMons-appropriate song ever except it's $500 too high:

Thousand-dollar car, ain't worth nuthin
Thousand-dollar car, ain't worth sh|t
Might as well take that thousand dollars
Set fire to it.
Thousand dollar car ain't worth a dime
Lose your thousand dollars every time.
Oh why did I ever buy a thousand dollar car?

Thousand dollar car is gonna let you down
More than it's ever gonna get you around
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust
Still end up with something that you'll never trust

Thousand dollar car's life was through
'bout fifty thousand miles before it ever got to you
Oh why did I ever buy a thousand dollar car?

A thousand dollar car ain't gonna roll
'til you throw at least another thousand in the hole
Sink your money in it, and there you are:
The owner of a two-thousand-dollar thousand dollar car.

If you only got a thousand dollars
You oughta just buy a good guitar
Learn how to play and it'll take you farther
Than any old thousand dollar car
If a thousand dollar car was truly worth a damn
Why would anybody ever spend ten grand?
Oh why did I ever buy a thousand dollar car?

Re: Live radio broadcast from Buttonwillow

They've got another one on that same album, Radar Gun, that makes me laugh my ass off every time I hear it:

Straight from 12th grade into junior college
Buddy, buddy, buddy I passed my exam
Making me a law enforcement person
Got me a gun and a badge, I’m a Man
Radar gun, radar gun

43 from where I was sittin’
30 miles an hour is the law of our land
Please remove your license, find your registration
And what is the name of your insurance man?

Radar gun, radar gun
I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my
Radar gun, radar gun
With my brand new radar gun

You know our Sheriff William "Buck" Burger
Says our mayor’s got a master plan
A new pulse gun means the Cost of Livin’
And one of them stoplights down on Grand.

Radar gun, radar gun
I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my
Radar gun, radar gun
With my brand new radar gun

Schedule 19 on a special election
Got our money problems right in hand
Droppin’ them limits like a hot potato
50 down to 30 oh man, oh man

Radar gun, radar gun
I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my
Radar gun, radar gun
With my brand new radar gun
Brand new shiny Simmons radar gun

Me and my partner go patrol car crusin’
on the parking lots at the shopping malls
Scanning those dashes, those mirrors and visors,
the little detectors that ruin it all
Johnny got one on an ’86 t-bird,
Pull up slow just as close as I can
Milliwatt-seconds on maximum output,
We’ll dust that puppy with one small blast from my

Radar gun, radar gun
I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my
Radar gun, radar gun
With my brand new radar gun
