Oh, and the period goes inside the quotation mark, as well. Lamest damn grammar Nazi I’ve done seen in a coon’s age. ---

Great sax. \*\* Errr, aren’t these, like, different songs with the same title? Aretha’s goes “We’re going riding on the freeway of love in a pink Cadillac…” Bruce’s goes “Pink Cadillac, brushed leather seats, riding in the back, cruising down the streets, …” ---

IIRC, Areatha’s song is “Freeway of Love”. There’s also “(I Love that) Pink Cadillac” by Sammy Masters & His Rocking Rhythm. I’m pretty sure Chuck Berry’s “No Money Down” is about a guy buying a new Cadillac. ---

\*Originally posted by Laughing Lagomorph Errr, aren’t these, like, different songs with the same title? \* Nah… she did ‘freeway of love’ and ‘pink cadillac’. I was disappointed in her version, because she made it really light and pop-y. I though Miss Aretha would be getting down in that cadillac 😉 Bruce’s version was a B-side on a 45 (am I old or what?) so it may be hard to find. BTW, making someone a custom cd is just about the coolest thing to do, ever. Your friend is going to be really happy. ---

Night wolves moan, winter hills were black . . . Long White Cadillac. Great song. Excellent guitar solo at the end too. ---

I disagree.
