September 27, 200718 yr Okay, lets start from the top... a song about cadillacs... but once thats figured out... the singer says all 8 fire inline... which cadillac model is he refering to that had an i8 note i dont know the model but i do know the song Edited September 27, 200718 yr by Newbiewar
September 27, 200718 yr It HAS to be poetic license... According to Wikipedia, both Chevrolet and Cadillac stuck to V8s and never experimented with I8s... Only Oldsmobile and Buick had them I believe.

September 27, 200718 yr You know... Like when someone adds something inaccurate/exaggerated into a song/poem to make it rhyme/flow better...
September 27, 200718 yr Author You know... Like when someone adds something inaccurate/exaggerated into a song/poem to make it rhyme/flow better... hrmm... well at least guess the song? in the music video it shows what appears to be a 60 model, 2 door convertable... massive car
September 27, 200718 yr Author "All eight cylinders are firin' in line, I'm never out of gas and I'm always on time"
September 27, 200718 yr Author the song is "Cadillac Style" by Sammy Kershaw. i dont know if anyones watched the video but can that cadillac be identified... since its not an inline http://music.aol.com/video/cadillac-style/...kershaw/1346472
September 27, 200718 yr "All eight cylinders are firin' in line, I'm never out of gas and I'm always on time" after listening to the song, this part is a sexual double entendre... it's not really about a Cadillac at all. look at the lines prior to it. Around 10:30 she puts me in drive turns the lights down low and man alive All eight cylinders are firin' in a line, I'm never out of gas and I'm always on time.
September 27, 200718 yr Author hrmm never thought of it like that although in the lyrics it never says "lights down low" Well, I ain't Burt Reynolds and I ain't Tom Selleck; I got bills up the pike and my car's an old relic. I get Chevrolet pay but I've got a big smile 'Cause my little Baby loves me Cadillac style! Well, I don't have a condo in Panama City. You could say I'm a member of the Poor Boy Commitee. But I kinda feel rich when I've been with her a while 'Cause my little Baby loves me Cadillac style! Well, about ten thirty, Lord, she puts me in drive, Turns all the lights down and man, alive! All eight cylinders are firin' in line, I'm never out of gas and I'm always on time! Well, I ain't Goldfinger and I ain't Joe Fashion And you can't buy much with the checks I'm cashin'. So, people, if you wonder why I'm a-ridin' with a smile It's 'cause my little Baby loves me Cadillac Style. Well, about ten thirty, Lord, she puts me in drive Turns all the lights down and man, alive! All eight cylinders are firin' in line, I'm never out of gas and I'm always on time! Well, I ain't Goldfinger and I ain't Joe Fashion, And you can't buy much with the checks I'm cashin'. So, people, if you wonder why I'm a-ridin' with a smile, It's 'cause my little Baby loves me Cadillac style. Yeah, my little Baby loves me Cadillac Style! Well, my little Baby loves me Cadillac style guess he's sleeping around, but still gets back to his wife ontime? when he said well my little bably loves me... thought he was refering to his car... but who knows Edited September 27, 200718 yr by Newbiewar
September 27, 200718 yr guess he's sleeping around, but still gets back to his wife on time? uh.. no ;-)
September 27, 200718 yr About the line of all 8 firing in line, it doesn't necessarily mean and in-line 8. "In line" can be interpreted as "in order" or "in sequence".
September 28, 200718 yr Author And as alluded to above: no I-8 Cadillacs, ever. i guess the closest it comes is the companion marque of Cadillac, LaSalle... 34-36 with a straight 8... not sure if straight and inline are the same but i'm guessing...
September 28, 200718 yr after listening to the song, this part is a sexual double entendre... it's not really about a Cadillac at all. Bingo. I never thought of it as him talking about his car....but, interesting....
