Music: 10 Detroit driving songs for Dream Cruise
With the annual Woodward Dream Cruise scheduled to run at full throttle Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011, Detroit Metromix took a look at some of the driving-inspired songs that have come out of Detroit over the years.
This is, after all, the Motor City and nowhere else in the country should fuel-injected ditties of this magnitude be generated. The MC5 and The Detroit Wheels both used the motor-industry influence when choosing a band name, but we also found that there is no shortage of songs that delve into similar subject matter.
Aretha Franklin Freeway of Love
Actually, this is less a song about driving and more a song about getting it on with Aretha, but the fact that the Queen of Soul used driving as a metaphor for some Franklin fornication must be celebrated. But guys, the line So jump right in...Ain't no sin...Take a ride in my machine, doesnt work in Downtown bars.
Bobby Bare Detroit City
The Ohio-born country music singer won a Grammy in 1963 for this song about wanting to get out of our beloved city and go back home. Well, thanks a bunch Bare. Still, they say no publicity is bad publicity and the fact that a Grammy-winning song was named after Detroit didnt do us any harm. However, the line I rode a freight train north to Detroit city, after all these years I've been wasting my time, wouldnt have made him many friends here.
Steve Earle Hillbilly Highway
The country legend is known for writing very personal songs and this one, despite its amusing title, is no different. Earle is notorious in some quarters for being a rare commodity indeed -- a left-wing country artist, something that didnt hurt his popularity in Michigan. But it was the line Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop, Detroit City bound that cemented his legendary status here.
Alice Cooper Under My Wheels
Leave it to Coop to pen an ode to running over your loved one. Of course, nowadays we all know that ol black eyes is a golf-playing Bible reader, but back in the 70s songs like these were causing a bit of a stir. We at MMX dont condone aiming your car at your significant other; try relationship therapy first.
Bob Seger Travelin Man
Travelin Man sees old Bob at his contemplative best as he sings of drifting from town to town as times get tough.

Lady in Red – Chris De Burgh | Online Songs
The song “Lady in Red” was written in reference to (though not specifically about) Chris De Burgh’s first wife, Diane, and was released on the album “Into the Light”, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart in July 1986, and peaking on the Billboard pop chart at number three in May 1987. On the British TV series “This Is Your Life”, De Burgh said that the song was inspired by the memory of when he first saw Diane, and how men so often cannot even remember what their wives were wearing when they first met. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Aishwarya Rai): born 1 November 1973) is an Indian actress and former Miss World.
