Janis Joplin song:

Oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?
My friends
all drive porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?

Oh lord, wont you buy me a color tv ?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh lord, wont you buy me a color tv ?

Oh lord, wont you buy me a night on the town ?
Im counting on you, lord, please dont let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh lord, wont you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!
Oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeRa3RtBiIU

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love...

56. Somethin' Else, by the Flamin Groovies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqBeE10W_cQ

Look at that
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
One of the cutest since I dont know when
But she dont notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outta my class
But that cant stop me from thinkin to myself
Shes sure fine lookin, man, shes something else

Look at that
cross the street
Theres a car built just for me
To own a car would be a luxury
But right now I cant afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that cant stop me from thinkin to myself
That cars fine lookin, man, its something else

Hey, look at that
Just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I buy that car and then I roll up with joe
Get me that girl and we go ridin around
We look real sharp with the wide top down
I keep on dreamin and thinkin to myself
When it all comes true, man, thats something else

Hey, look at that
Whats all this?
Never thought Id do this before
But here Im a-knockin on her door
My cars out front and its all mine
Its a '41 Ford not a '69
I got that girl and Im thinkin to myself
Shes sure fine lookin, man, shes something else
