My friend just got a 1964 Cadillac. I want to make him a music cd of songs that are about Cadillac’s. Any suggestions? ---

Ok, this may not be what you want, but go to [this google search](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22cadillac%22+lyrics) and click on the first 20 links. I guarantee you will find cadillac songs. I’m not sure you want to put any/all of these songs on the same CD. If you did, the clash of musical styles would probably create a new and malignant life form. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aceospades \* > \*\*if i remember corectly there is a song that goes something like this “black shoes, black hat, black coat, cadillac”. who sings this? \*\* That song is “Time Bomb,” by Rancid. Also “Look At That Cadillac” by the Stray Cats. There should be tons of rockabilly and swing songs alone about Cadillacs. ---

Led Zeppelin: _Rock and Roll_ – it’s not _about_ Cadillacs, but was used _by_ Cadillac in their recent ad campaign. Alternatively, their song _Living Loving Maid_ makes mention of Cadillac in its lyrics. ---

[Grammar Nazi hijack] The plural of “Cadillac” is “Cadillacs”, not “Cadillac\*\*’\*\*s”. Apostrophes are not used to makes things plural. We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress… [/Grammar Nazi hijack] ---
