Posted: Monday, January 29, 2007 by Travis Cody in

Morgen over at It's A Blog Eat Blog World came up with this great idea. I may not participate every Monday, but I definitely wanted in on the ground floor. His first topic is perfect - lots of different ways to get crazy over Cruising!!!

Cruising is about cars and music. The songs below have been ranked among the top 50 cruising songs of all time. The cars are my favorite classics.

So here we go. And turn up the radio y'all!!!

From 1964.


No Particular Place To Go
By Chuck Berry

A 1953 Corvette, the only car I could be temped into choosing over a TBird.

Devil With The Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly

You see the dilemma between the Vette and the 1956 TBird here.

This, my friends, is a 1968 Shelby Mustang GT oh my THUMP!



I hope you enjoyed this little Cruising tour. Do yourselves a favor this summer. Get on the internet and find a classic car show near you. Spend a couple of hours walking around and admiring these beautiful cars. You won't regret it. They are works of art.

One more - a 1930 Ford Model A Delux Roadster.

  1. Cool concept! On the more modern side of things, I love to crank Tears for Fears' "Everybody wants to Rule the World" on that first sunny, windows-down day of spring.

    AWESOME!!!Cars and songs--I love them all. I could just feel the wind under my hand hanging out the window. Add "Born to Run" and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" to a long list for me.

  1. Ah...Green Onions. Sweet. Living in the Detroit area, cruising in automobiles was a rite of passage for me as a teen.

    I can recall sweeping along Woodward Ave., kicking back in a Monte Carlo, with the radio as loud as it could go to Hendrix's "Crosstown Traffic".

  1. Great post, wow, i love the music, very orinigal

  1. This was a GREAT post. I had thought about using music for the theme, but was too lazy and in a rush when I posted so I went the easy way out with a picture. I want a corvette!
