Oh, another. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “That Smell.”
From here :
Tiger Lillies - Car Crash
Specifically, I think it’s about Princess Di’s accident.
If you want some '80s music in there, there’s
Crash by the Primitives - a pleasant little pop ditty that was a radio hit; not about a car crash per se, but about living life in the fast lane
and for icelandic rock, Motorcrash by the Sugarcubes - Bjørk and friends before she became a star
“The Carroll County Accident” Porter Wagoner
Bus Plunge - The Bobs
There’s a bike crash in Jethro Tull’s Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll, Too Young to Die:
Pet Shop Boys’ “Young Offender” contains the line “Drive to distraction and crash on the way”.
The first thing I thought of was D.O.A. by Bloodrock. (link is to video released by original singer in 1986.)
Marilyn Manson - Just a Car Crash Away
There’s Long Black Limousine (performed) by Elvis. The funeral in it is caused by a car crash:
I don’t see why it’s not on the Wikipedia list really.
Ode to the Sun by Dredg
James Dean - The Eagles
Holy crap. This was the first that came to my mind, as well. I thought this one is so obscure no way in the world anyone else would have remembered it.
Road Man by SmashMouth
It was the first thing that I thought of too, but then I remembered it’s about a plane crash.
Star Witness by Neko Case:
“MY TRUE LOVE DROWNED IN A DIRTY OLD PAN
OF OIL THAT DID RUN FROM THE BLOCK
OF A FALCON SEDAN 1969
THE PAPER SAID '75”
as with all of her songs, much is implied, little is straight out said.
Warm Leatherette, by The Normal (a.k.a., Daniel Miller)
That is the obvious interpretation because of the line, “We were flying low and hit something in the air.”
I remember friends arguing about whether it was a car or plane crash because we used the same phrase to mean driving really fast (the “flying low” part, not the “hit something in the air” part). We never reached any definite conclusion (but that may have been more about being stoned than being convinced).
The linked video was released in 1986 by the original singer. (The song charted in 1971.) In the video it’s clearly the aftermath of a car crash. Hardly a definitive answer, but that’s why I linked to that particular video.
“Airbag,” by Radiohead:
“Leave it Alone” -Moist
