Bonus point if it came out the same year as your car. As many of you know, I drive a sensible and economical 1969 Chrysler Newport and this is the song I think that suits it.

Both the song and the car are from the 60's, mellow and have an effervescent coolness to them. The song wasn't a groundbreaking song and the Newport wasn't a groundbreaking car. But today they survive as caricatures of a decade. What about you? What song matches your car?

We discussed something really similar a couple of weeks ago, but a song from 1997 I'm not really sure.

The song specifically calls out a Mustang Number Two, while i happen to have an 86 Monte Carlo SS, I built the car with my dad, who was crew chief for an ASA team in the 80's. This song might not describe the situation exactly, but it comes pretty close.

Other choice might be Van Halen - 5150

For my parents Odyssey I think Royals suits it. It knows it'll never be anything special.

And for the Leaf. I have no idea.

I'm rather fond of it myself. Digital Love 's probably my favourite - at least, from Discovery - though. I'd have picked it - who doesn't 'love' their car, after all? - but One More Time first came out in 2000 - the year my car was built - as a single, while the rest of Discovery didn't pop up until a year or so later.
