I just heard this one online... It's pretty nice. The song is "Grandma Drove a Buick" by Jill King.

It was the age of Harvest Gold and Avocado Green;

Push-Button Radios, Plastic Covered Leather Seats

Dust rising off a gravel road, no seatbelts; five years old;

Like I was riding in a great big boat, into town, Here we go.

We turned the corner onto Shackleberry Avenue;

Like Moses parting the water everybody moves;

I never understood it, but everybody knew that;

Grandma drove a Buick.

And at the age of seventeen waiting for a ride home from school;

Don’t want to leave, no I want to be with all my friends, I thought were cool;

I was embarrassed to be seen with someone as old as history;

I want to die, I want to scream, but here she comes riding down the street.

She turned the corner onto Shackleberry Avenue;

Like Moses parting the water everybody moves;

I never understood it, but everybody knew that;

Grandma drove a Buick.

Now I’m Sitting in the driver’s seat, taking the wheel where her hands used to be;

And all those memories flooding over me are painted Harvest Gold and Avocado Green;

A line of cars start their engines off to the place where she will be resting;

I turn on the lights, put it into drive, I’m at the head of her procession

We turned the corner onto Shackleberry Avenue;

Like Moses parting the water everybody moves;

Puling off to the side, they’re all waving goodbye;

Now I understand why everybody knew;

That I was driving Grandma’s Buick

It was the Age of Harvest Gold and Avocado Green.

Should I post the lyrics to a song called "So What"?

J/K - It's funny to see that Buick was grandma's car. How old is that song?

How old is that song?

It's new from this year.

Mr. vonVee, are you trying to make me cry? Very cool song, sir.

It's new from this year.

I'm gonna look for it at home :AH-HA_wink:

Nifty!

Buick was my grandma's car too (A Skyhawk)

And then it was my, a 16 year old's, first car too.

I like that crazy "Love Shack" song because of the "I got me a Chrysler; It's a big as a whale And it's about to set Sail!"
