The Ballad of Thunder Road
Performer: Robert Mitchum
Released: May 1958
External Link: Wikipedia
Let me tell the story, I can tell it all;
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol.
His daddy made the whiskey, son he drove the load;
When his engine roared they called the highway “Thunder Road.”
Beep, Beep also known as “The Little Nash Rambler”
Performer: The Playmates
Released: 1958
Featured Car: Nash Rambler
Description: A tempo-changing novelty song about a Cadillac driver and a Nash Rambler he meets on the road.
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 it to pass me up, as he kept on tooting his horn.
Beep! Beep! I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.
