Any other mentions of a garage in a song? I have a feeling it pops up in country music.
Weezer - “In the Garage”
In the garage, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
“So the Biltmore Garage is the spot
But the one thousand bucks we ain’t got!”
Levon by Elton John
“Spends his days counting money in a garage, by the motorway”
Yeah, but that’s a garrage.
There’s also Joe’s Garage, of course:
The plan was to sweep the world off its feet
So you sweep the garage for the neighbors to see
The plan was to set the world on its ear
And I bet you don’t know why you’re here
– The Replacements, “Happy Town”
Same difference.
Two-Car Garage by B. J. Thomas
I used to be Mr. Free, Tall, Dark and Cool
I did a solo act
Made up my own rules
Then you came along
And Changed my point of view
Oh baby what am I going to do?
Just look at me
Looking at you
I can’t believe the things
I’m looking foward to
Would you believe I’m thinking about
A two car garage
And a two story house
And a couple of kids
We can brag about
Give me a two-toned Chevrolet
And too many bills to pay
And your two arms
Too make me happy living that way
“Garageland” by The Clash
Back in the garage with my bullshit detector
Carbon monoxide makin’ sure it’s effective
People ringin’ up makin’ offers for my life
I just want to stay in the garage all night.
We’re a garage band.
We come from garageland.
I started to list Frank’s Wild Years, a song by Tom Waits
I would have bet a small disposable digit it mentioned ‘Garage’ - it does not.
Lyrics of Garage Sale Love by Mayor Wertz
Sun′s out I’m cruising around town
The shades are on the windows down
At a red light a sign caught my eye
Garage sale, I guess I can stop by
Nasty Cherry, “Music With Your Dad”
Don’t stay up too late, baby
It’s really not that bad
I’m just in the garage, making
Music with your dad
“Depreston” by Courtney Barnett
“It’s got a lovely garden
And a garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage if you’ve just got one
And it’s going pretty cheap, you say
Well, it’s a deceased’s estate
Aren’t the pressed Metal ceilings great”
“The Garage” by They Might Be Giants
Park your car
Forty bucks
Move sucker!
Lose again
Walk past
The tip jar
He keys your car
It’s the Garage Garage Garage Garage Garage Garage Garage
Voice Farm, Double Garage
Front door is locked
Back door is locked
The-the-the garage door’s going up!
Where’s the Genie?
What are you doing in here?
What are you doing in here?
H-help me?
Help me!
[Chorus]
Someone’s in the double garage
Do you know where Herb’s Garage is?
You hard of hearing?
I owned that garage years ago
No songs waxing nostalgic about being in a garage band?
But is there a commie flag tacked up in your car port?
Promised Land by Bruce Springsteen
I got the radio on and I’m just killing time
Working all day in my daddy’s garage
Little Old Lady from Pasadena by Jan and Dean
But parked in a rickety old garage
Is a brand-new shiny red super-stocked Dodge
Always Crashing in the Same Car by David Bowie
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
Anything She Does by Genesis
You know
You decorate the garage walls
Hang in people’s halls
Live in secret drawers
Picture This by Blondie
You got clouds on your lids and you’d be on the skids
If it weren’t for your job at the garage
Citizen Kane Jr. Blues by Neil Young
She keeps ten men in her garage
Knitting her fine sweaters.
Dream Machine also by Neil Young
Never let a dream machine
Gather dust in your garage
Prisoners of Rock ‘n’ Roll yet another by Neil Young
When were jammin’
in our old garage
The girls come over
and it sure gets hot
Well we don’t sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we’re Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don’t wanna
Buy our album, we’re Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah
Smells Like Nirvana, Weird Al
