Hi everybody and all my love for you.
I Have to do some kind of ad for a car and I look for a song, thought of Queen's "I'm in love with my car" which I believe is a great great song but then I thought there's is maybe a reggae tune. I would prefer a ska or rocksteady one, anyway, it HAS to be GROOVY you know what I mean. Don't care about the era, it must have a good feel, like the Queen song.
So if you could help me that would be great. Thanks.
Peace and love to all of you and to the rest too.

There is a great Studio One instrumental tune called "Big Car" by Jackie Mittoo & Ernest Ranglin (a 7 inch).
Tune is a cover of a Teddy Pendergrass soul tune (? - not for sure about that).
Other great (digikal) tune & big hit is "Fast Car" by Foxy Brown (a Tracy Chapman cover). Think Wayne Wonder did the same reggae make over.

@ Hans Big Car is an hammond organ interpretation of William Devaughn's 'Be Thankful'( you may not have a car at all..). off course the best reggae version of this classic is Bunny Clarke's cut for the Upsetter

Hi hi, yes it has a car, it has a car when it says somethingh like 'though you may not have a big big cadillac' or something like that....'just be thankful...for what you've got'. There is sung cover by Donovan Carless and also the M. Attack one but you all knew this already.
I like the Tracy Chapman song but it's not what I look for, it has to be something just about the car. 'Driving' or 'Drive' could do to. And it must have words.
Maybe nothing gets as good as the Queen one.
Thanks all
