When I first got the idea to write about cars and music I needed a way to change it up a bit. This topic has unfortunately been covered to death, so making this piece stand out was going to be a bit of a challenge. The more I thought about it, the more I thought about being a kid again and watching MTV, you know, when it still show music videos. One that immediately came to mind was ZZ Tops, “Gimme All Your Lovin”. It had all the prerequisites for a hot 1980’s music video. Hot chicks, a cool car and a beat that just wanted to make you drive on into the sunset. So, based upon that I did a little research and came up with 20 music videos where the car is the star. Now I’m sure I’ve left some out, so if you’ve got suggestions post them to the comments section and I’ll add them to the list. No go forth and waste time at work…
