Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

[D3 for LU]

Ah, some of you out there may remember these guys:

And their cover of a Charlie Ryan tune called...

Hot Rod Lincoln

... off of their debut album in 1971: Lost in the Ozone

D3

[D3 for LU]

My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"

[D3 for LU]

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod race
When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace
That story is true, I'm here to say
I was drivin' that Model A

[D3 for LU]

It's all Lincoln motor, and it's really souped up
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders and use them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall

[D3 for LU]

With a four-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With 4.11 gears, you can really get lost
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, tires fair

[D3 for LU]

Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
The moon and the stars was shinin' bright
We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still

[D3 for LU]

All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
By then the taillight was all you could see

[D3 for LU]

Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into overdrive

[D3 for LU]

Wound it up to a 110
My speedometer said that I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
That's all there is and there ain't no more

[D3 for LU]

Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said, "Slow down, I see spots
The lines on the road just look like dots"

[D3 for LU]

Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

[D3 for LU]

Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas?

[D3 for LU]

We had flames comin' from out of the side
Feel the tension, man, what a ride
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

[D3 for LU]

Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'
And down in the dips, she started to rockin'
I looked in my mirror, a red light was blinkin'
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln

[D3 for LU]

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that...

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen also did a Tex Williams cover of:

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)

I got a chuckle out of this as I (every workday) mentioned to my fellow employee that she's going out for her "breathing treatment" at breaktime.

I had her listen to this yesterday (gawd, she has a GREAT sense of humor!   AND she recalled that tune back in the day too!)

[D3 for LU]

Now I'm a feller with a heart of gold
And the ways of a gentleman, I've been told
The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea--

[D3 for LU]

But if me and a certain character met
The guy that invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree--

[D3 for LU]

Not 'cause I don't smoke myself
And I don't reckon they'll harm your health
I've smoked all my life and ain't dead yet

[D3 for LU]

But nicotine slaves are all the same
At a pettin' party or a poker game
Everything must stop while they smoke that cigarette
