View Full Version : car name & theme song

so, i know several here have a name for their car and a theme song. i have yet to do this, but i don't want to rip anyone's names or songs off. so i guess i'm asking for ideas, help, suggestions or anything else that might be helpful.
for the '02 marquis, i jokingly called it the spruce moose once, and it seems to have stuck. but it still doesn't have a theme song.
for the '03 MM, i was thinking of a name like blackie gleason (aka buford T. justice!), but i imagine that name might be misinterpreted. but the car IS totally blacked out.
song-wise for either car, i was thinking of any one of the possibilities, since they get me motivated behind the wheel:
-AC/DC- "soul stripper" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOPjG8A4mEY
-dead boys - "sonic reducer" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP73ycAlQLI
-iggy and the stooges - "raw power" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mZ0sSStW6Y
-the sweet - "hell raiser" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciVUTHqk7oo
-turbonegro - "final warning" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3wiezaXsg
i'm open to suggestions of any kind.
hummm, I never got around to naming my car, though I can usually be heard calling it by both masculine and feminine pronouns.
My theme song has been in my sig since a little after I bought the car, but ever since it got a spotlight on South Park, its lost bit of luster in my eyes.
Also I like the blackie gleason name, a la the Sheriff.

I went with Red Sled for my DTR although I believe someone else here uses the name also.
I like "Green Onions" by Booker T & the MG's when I'm out cruising and looking to pull the trigger on some fool that's thinking they're gonna pull up in the right lane and take the "Grandpa car" from a light.
When I'm on the open road with the Big Red Bug Killer it's "Highway to Hell" and around town on it it's "Slow Ride".
"Orgasmatron" - Motorhead

Theme song would be a toss up between two songs by Devil Driver
1st would be "I dreamed I died"
2nd would be "Hold Back the Day"
The wifes DTR is just that "The Wifes DTR"
She has no theme song for it, to her its just a mode of transportation. :(

My former Crown Vic was Al. (As in Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert) And that's how we referred to that car. My Marauder's name hasn't really stuck. I've tried several. Since I'm of Danish extraction and Danes were Vikings, who were marauders, I went with Thor. Mr. Man suggested Vlad The Impaler. (That just gagged me):rolleyes:
As for theme songs, don't have just one; Joyride by Roxette, Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf, and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cindy Lauper are a few.;)

Since it's been revived, there's something particularly fitting with the name that makes me always associate "Cult of Personality" by In Living Color with this car. Pretty rockin' song in my opinion.

"Orgasmatron" - Motorhead
Still sticking with this one.
I am the one Orgasmatron
the outstreched grasping hand
my image is of agony
my servants rape the land
obsequious and arrogant
clandestine and vain
two thousend years of misery
of torture in my name
hypocrisy made paramount
paranoia the law
my name is called religion
sadistic
sacred
whore
I twist the truth
I rule the world
my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies
you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you
your downfall is my gain
and still you play the sycophant
and revel in your pain
and all my promises are lies
all my love is hate
I am the politician
and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world
an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days
of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood
I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny
I lead you to your grave
your bones will build my palaces
your eyes will stud my crown
for I am Mars the god of war
and I will cut you down
As you can observe my Car's name is Silverback, my story board reflects that and the car is so identified.
My favorite cruising song is Wooly Booly by Sam the Sham, my favorite.

Perhaps not too original but name is "Rauder" a play on "Rodder".
Song...has to be Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog".

Car's name is Flying A II. Seemed to work out well, since it's a 300A order. Backstory. My Dad used to race stock cars a long time ago, and quite successfully. In 1951, he was the track champion. The car's number that year was the Flying A, Tydol gasoline logo. I have a replica on the back of mine if you need to know whay it looks like.
Song, depends on situation. Includes Highway to Hell, Thunderstruck, Little Bird, Flight of the Valkryies, Cowboy, and so on.
