| Ballad of the General Lee Performers: Doug Kershaw and The Hazzard County Boys Released: 1982 (The Dukes of Hazzard) Featured Car: “General Lee” 1969 Dodge Charger |
In the middle of the night, When they should have both been sleepin'; They were changing out the engine of their homemade cluster car. All the people in the town called them two young foolish dreamers; for thinkin' that old set of wheels would take them very far. |
| Car Jamming Performers: The Clash Released: 14 May 1982 |
There is no city zoo (in a car jam); By ventilation units; Where towers meet the streets (in a car jam); The ragged stand in bags soaking heat up through their feet (in the car jam). |
| Driving in My Car Performers: Madness Songwriter: Mike Barson Released: 24 July 1982 Featured Car: 1959 Morris Minor External Link: Wikipedia |
I've been driving in my car; It's not quite a Jaguar. I bought it in Primrose Hill; From a bloke from Brazil. It was made in fifty-nine; In a factory by the Tyne. |

| In the Driver's Seat Performer: John Schneider Released: 1982 (The Dukes of Hazzard) |
I got one hand on the wheel; I got one long road ahead. I got pity on you old smoky; Gotta try to chase down Johnny Reb. |
| Keep Between Them Ditches Performers: Doug Kershaw and the Hazzard County Boys Released: 1982 (The Dukes of Hazzard) |
When I was a little boy, my daddy used to say; Life is like a winding road you travel every day. Bound to be some detours and trouble on the way; But keep your eyes on where you're going and keep a-drivin' straight. |
| Little Red Corvette Performer: Prince Songwriter: Prince Released: 27 October 1982 (1999) Featured Car: Chevrolet Corvette External Link: Wikipedia |
I guess I should've known; By the way you parked your car sideways, that it wouldn't last. See, you're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once; Love 'em and leave 'em fast. |
| Roll Me Away Performers: Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Songwriter: Bob Seger Released: 13 December 1982 External Link: Wikipedia |
Took a look down a westbound road; Right away I made my choice. Headed out to my big two-wheeler; I was tired of my own voice. Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on. |
| Long Black Shiny Car Performers: Restless Released: 1982 |
Ever since that morning you went away; People have been talkin' and here's what they say. She's found someone else who's richer by far; She's got all his money and his long black shiny car. |
| Route 66 Performer: The Manhattan Transfer Songwriter: Bobby Troup Released: 1982 Topic: United States Numbered Highways External Link: Wikipedia |
If you ever plan to motor west; Travel my way, take the highway that is best; Get your kicks on Route sixty-six. |
