Was a bit older than 20 when Smoke on the Water came out. Love the song, the band and the story of why they wrote it. This would be a song I would play driving down the highway.

This year Deep Purple released a new video for the song.

I thought I knew … until I saw other replies. I’m now ready to travel back in time with any of you.

(It would have been the Stones.)

I don't know... SO much music! But how about we start with...

 

[Beezer]

This was my old Bazoo. If I had known her at the time, I would have taken @oscash for a spin! She's just so darn 'Ladylike'.

And this is the tune we'd play cruising down the highway...

 

[oscash]

Beezer you old smoothy, love the car but the music could be a little bit too raunchy for me.

 

[Beezer]

Okay...remember it's 'highway driving' music, though.

How about...

And...

 

[Beezer]

Or maybe this is my mid-life crisis thread! lol!

 

[oscash]

Yeah the tune is alright but love the sports car. Maybe you are in a mid-life crisis. I think you could be quite a few years younger than me. I'm more in to swinging type music, don't get me wrong though, I'm not a swinger.

 

[Beezer]

Okay @oscash

I hear ya, loud and clear!

 

[oscash]

Thanks Beezer, that's more like it although I was born in the early 40's. My mother was a good Charleston dancer, and my father had his own band.

‘69 Mustang and The Beach Boys “Fun, Fun, Fun”!

Well, if you're gonna be cruisin' in a Mustang, then you gotta play this one as well:

 

[bobcat]

Another good road song

 

[bobcat]

Gotta throw this one in too

Back then; Hank Williams singing Your Cheating Heart.

Now: AC/DC..Thunderstruck.

Some posts really didn't have anything special to do with Bob's OP highway theme. Thanks to those that did post along that theme. Tom Petty's powerful Running Down A Dream, is a favorite of mine to dance to.

 

[Paladin1950]

Still haven't been to a barber shop in years!

 

[JBR]

I probably would have blared Embryonic Journey as I drove, just because I loved its energy & artistry — if I'd have had a terrific in-car sound system. But this one would have been more current at age 20, and it's a fine song.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

I don't know if this is the '69 version but it suits me =D



and someone already mentioned one of go-to road songs, the Eagles "Take it Easy" but there's plenty more...

Gordon Lightfoot "Carefree Highway"

Chicago "25 or 6 to 4"

Earth Wind and Fire "September"

20 = 1967. I was one year away from buying my 1968 ‘Vette.

Just to name one ^^^^


Jumping up to 1969

 

[hearlady]

All I can think about is Ricky Martin singing it....... and rue the day he came out.

 

[hearlady]

I don't know... SO much music! But how about we start with...

Great minds......
