From 2CV to BMW: How Musicians Love Their Cars
Music and cars have long been intertwined, with numerous songs referencing vehicles. From Lloyd Cole's '2CV' to Kesha's Hyundai, let's explore these automotive allusions.
Lloyd Cole's '2CV' tells a tale of lost love, with the Deux Cheveaux serving as a poignant reminder. Meanwhile, Feeder's 'Buck Rogers' hints at a Jaguar-like car without specifying the model.
Central Cee's 'Sprinter' offers a contrast, mentioning both a humble Toyota Yaris and a luxurious Lamborghini Urus. Kesha's song adds a Hyundai to the mix, while Madness's 'Driving In My Car' takes us back to 1959 with a car that's not quite a Jaguar but bears the name 'Morris'.
George Michael's song, on the other hand, gives a nod to a BMW.
These songs showcase the diverse ways musicians incorporate cars into their lyrics. From specific makes and models to vague allusions, these automotive references add depth and personal touch to the songs.
