Beep Beep

HRQ

Anybody remember this song by The Playmates? Evidently Ray does not.

Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)

chorus: Beep beep (beep beep),
Beep beep (beep beep),
His horn went beep beep beep (beep beep).

While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise,
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one-third my size.
The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep).
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

chorus:

I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake,
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind, he still had on his brake.
He must have thought his car had more guts,
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep).
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

chorus:

My car went in to passing gear and we took off with gust,
And soon we were doing ninety, must have left him in the dust.
When I peeked in the mirror of my car, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The little Nash Rambler was right behind, you'd think that guy could fly.

chorus:

Now we're doing a hundred and ten, it certainly was a race,
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy would be a big disgrace.
The guy must have wanted to pass me out as he kept on tooting his horn.
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

chorus:

Now we're doing a hundred and twenty, as fast as I could go.
The Rambler pulled alongside of me as if we were going slow.
The fellow rolled his window down and yelled for me to hear:
"Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"

A Rambler doing 120? Yeah, right. Well, maybe a 57 RAmbler Rebel with the hot 327 V8 setup. That was a hotrod.

Admittedly I remember the song, even remember singing (?) along with it. But it was difficult to dance to..... But Q, there's no way you're old enough to remember it unless you listen to oldies radio!!

HRQ

Ray will explain this for you. x:-)

See, what isn't stated in the song is the Rambler was red. That is significant.

HRQ

steaks, I meant for Ray to explain why I would be familiar with something that "old" people listen to.

He's fixated on all cars "red." I'll let him explain that, too.

Q is really 66 years old and planning on retiring very soon.

My hubby LOVED this song. Thanks Q!!! I sent him a copy of the words. I am sure he will be trying to sing it for days....ok, maybe only hours, but he will defintely get a kick out of it.

Argh....now I've got the little bit I remember of that song stuck in my head! I was a small child when it came out but I remember hearing it on the radio. I never actually even knew what the song was about, but I very clearly remember the "beep beep beep" part of it.

However, I'd like to stop remembering now....it's incredibly annoying having just a little bit of the chorus stuck in my head. I think I need to listen to some heavy metal or something to blast it out of there!

HRQ has a way of doing that to people. But we still luv her.

I can't imagine (beep beep) what you (beep beep) are talking (His horn went) about (beep beep beep).

Sheesh, I must be really vulnerable to getting tunes stuck in my head today. I went to lunch, during which time "Beep Beep" was replaced by "Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns n Roses, which was replaced by Journey's "Dont' Stop Believing", which was replaced by some Edith Piaf song that I only know part of the tune of (and none of the words, since I don't speak French). Granted, I was reading an entertainment magazine and that's where Journey and Piaf came from, but I don't have a clue how GNR popped in there. Hold on, now I think Piaf and Axl Rose are singing a duet of "Beep Beep".....

HRQ

Charro, you kill me. x:D

Joannie, this is how I make sure I am never forgotten. Even for a second.

Beep beep.

I'd forgotten that you said you were going to continue to call me Charro. I guess tonight I need to start practicing shaking certain parts of my anatomy and saying "coochie, coochie"! My husband would either love it, fall on the floor laughing, or some combination of the two, but at any rate it would certainly liven up the evening.

Cng, don't do that. This is a family-type forum. x:o

Beep Beep is okay... but Hod Rod Lincoln is where it's at!

HRQ

Well... she's real fine, my 409. My 4... 0... 9...!

Charro, you gotta spice things up however you can. Enjoy your friday night. x;-)

Are there any good songs about Oldsmobiles or Kias?

"Are there any good songs about Oldsmobiles or Kias?"

Ray Stevens recoreded a song about the little blue haired lady in the big black oldsmobile.

My husband laughed uproariously at the Charro thing. I figured out real quickly when I tried shaking my hips like her that I gained a little more weight than I thought over the holidays...it took awhile for the tremors to die down and I was afraid I might hurt myself.
