BangShift Sunday Tune Up: Fuel – Metallica (1998)
Super early this morning, Dave Nutting and I will be headed off on another adventure, this time to the smallest state in the union, Rhode Island. We’re heading down to shoot a feature on a car...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Whoever You Are – Geggy Tah (1996)
A bit of a confession here. This song is a guilty pleasure of mine because I got my driver’s license in 1996 and that’s the year it peaked at #16 on the Billboard charts. This is a...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: The Passenger – Iggy Pop (1977)
Iggy Pop is one of rock and roll’s all-time road warriors. The dude has been touring like a mad man for decades and if we were guessing that’s what this tune is about, traveling over the...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Rev On The Redline – Foreigner (1979)
Here’s a good listen from the late 1970s in the form of the Foreigner tune Rev On The Redline. We’d never heard this one before digging it up completely by accident on YouTube. The song...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: I Gotsta Get Paid – ZZ Top (2012)
(Editor’s note: We highlighted this one last year, but it is stuck in my head so here it is again!) The guys in ZZ Top recently released a new tune called, “I Gotsta Get Paid” and...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Hot Rod Race – Charlie Ryan (1955)
Forgive us for being out of order, but on this one we are. Last week we featured the classic tune Hot Rod Lincoln here. That tune is actually an answer song for this one and sung from the...
Sunday Daily Tune Up: “Monkey Business” by Skid Row (1991)
Skid Row’s first album, appropriately named “Skid Row”, featured hits like “18 and Life” and “Youth Gone Wild”. And although I loved that 1989 debut album,...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Hot Girls In Love – Loverboy (1983)
BangShift reader Vinni DeLuca tipped us off to this video starring a hot rod Ford coupe and a dreamy blonde, oh and the guys from Loverboy as well. Their 1983 tune Hot Girls In Love was a hit for the...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Little Honda – The Hondells (1965)
I know what you’re thinking, “What is it with Lohnes and all the weirdo old songs?” Frankly, I have no good answer to that other than the fact that these tunes are super listenable,...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: “Crazy Train” Ozzy And Randy Rhoads At Their Best!
Arguably one of the most magical couples in rock and roll history, Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhodes were magical. “Crazy Train” was on Ozzy’s 1980 debut solo album Blizzard of Ozz,...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Hot Rod Lincoln – Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen – (1971)
A bunch of different bands and artists have covered the song Hot Rod Lincoln over the year but my all time favorite is the version of the tune by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen that was...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: I Gotta New Car – Big Boy Groves (1955)
I am a 32 (soon to be 33) year old Irish guy from Boston but I really love old R&B music and early rock and roll. This song combines all that great sound with awesome lyrics, some automotive...
BangShift Daily Tune Up: Green Onions – Booker T and the MG’s (1962)
If we were creating the “soundtrack of our lives” we’d have this song playing in the background every time we walking into a room. The tune may not be a dedicated “car...
