I just bought one of my dream cars. Help me put together a music playlist to bring her home.

"CSX-55" (CSX-55)
12/14/2016 at 09:59 • Filed to: None

After years of searching and failed attempts, either due to scuzzy dealers or fickle sellers, I finally found The One - a CPO 2013 Cadillac CTS-V.

With...wait for it...a manual.

I need Oppo’s help putting together the ultimate Cadillac song playlist for the roadtrip home. Any song that references Caddy, Cadillac, or some Cadillac model is fair game. All genres welcome. Some examples that come to mind right away:

Don Henley - Boys of Summer (“Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac”)

Mackelmore - Whitewalls (“Got that off-black Cadillac”)

Ludacris - Southern Hospitality (“Cadillac grills, Cadillac bills, check out the oil my Cadillac spills”)

Yes, I’m incredibly cheesy/corny. Yes, I’m super excited.

Thanks Oppo!

No playlist help, but congratulations! What a car. And how nice you found it with a proper transmission.

I see your last post before this was in 2015, looks like it took a while, congrats. It took me several months to realize my dream of owning an M3.

How am I supposed to put together a music list for someone I’ve just discovered a great deal of hatred and jealousy for? No, wait. I’ve got it.

Burn a 89 minute track of nothing but this and turn the volume all the way up all the way home. And play it when you get home. And keep it on when you sleep.

Congrats! Glad to see your patience rewarded. I think I need to take a page out of your book. You can’t have a Caddy playlist without:

Billy Joel - Movin Out
Bruce Springsteen - Cadillac Ranch
Bruce Springsteen - Pink Cadillac

Cadillac, Cadillac - long and dark, shiny and black. Open up them engines let em Roar. Tearing up that highway like a big old dinosaur.

Seems perfect to me.

Big, Black Cadillac Blues - Lightning Hopkins

To be honest, a “black Cadillac” was a pretty ubiquitous lyrical feature in many, many blues songs, and especially out of the early Chicago Blues scene. You should probably just add the Chess Records catalog up to about 1960 to your play list.
