On my way back from the National I was listening to the radio and they played Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson. It occured to me that if it had been sung by AC/DC we could have it as the theme tune for the AC Petite Register.
It then occured to me did John Peel ever play Three wheeling by Bob Dylan on his radio show?
He must have played plenty of records recorded on Trojan records
Prinz was big in the 90's, did he sing any Microcar songs?
Did David Bowie ever sing "We are the Champions"?
There must be more Microcar theme songs out there.

Well John Peel did do a short documentary on microcars. Dont know if anyone remembers it.
-
Seem to remember something do you have it bob. Chris you could have gordon is a moron or anything by the vernons or the brutsch boys
-
The little known Ernst Heinkel and his Trojans. Did a cover of Zep's 'Stairway to Heaven' with the Grim Ripper on modified Trombone instead of Jimmy Page's lead guitar. 'Wobble with Dave' etc.
Trojan Records was so called as the original van used to transport the sounds round Jamaica was a Trojan van. A close link to bubblecars but not a hit.
Rick Parfit of Status Quo had a Messerschmitt. Our own Forbesie, he of Rezillos, still has Messerschmitts. But they did not sing about them.
-
One of the songs on my first solo CD has the words "Riding in my Bubble Car", and all 3 of my CDs have a picture of one somewhere on them. I cannot remember what music was playing when Emma Peel drove a 'schmitt in "The Avengers" or while another 'schmitt was on-screen in Terry Gilliam's "Brazil", or while the Heinkel was on screen in "I'm alright Jack", "Blue Murder at St Trinians", Double Bunk, or the Trojan in the Comic Strip's "Mr Jolly Lives Next Door".
-
Trojan in St Trinians has to be associated to the Harry Flash theme. Given some owners over the years perhaps still appropriate!
-
Oh yes, the old honky-tonk piano theme!
-
Dear Marcus
Being a man of Music I was expecting you to put forward the March of the Trojan Kings.

Dear Rumsters
There are some great ones there. I especially like "A Pashley" by the shadows. Nice one Marcus
Perhaps the most appropriate theme tume should be "Picking up the pieces" by the average white band.

-
Picking up the Pieces, oh yes, we all do a bit of that!
-
Is The Average White Band now an acceptable politically correct name for a group? This ignores the actual members over the life of the band. Nothing to do with the thread but an observation on the way the world changes.
-
Picking up the Pieces, oh yes, we all do a bit of that!
Speak for yourself Marcus! :D
-
The Reliant lads have not chipped in.
'When the red red Robin, goes bob bob bobbin' along' - in Bristol, the Rovers supporters would then and 'Shoot the bastard, shoot the bastard!' I suspect a similar situation might have occurred with P series drivers.
'With a Rebel yell' and a band, Cockney Rebel with Steve Harley, 'innit?
'Fox on the run', 'Johnny the Fox' and of course the video, 20th Century Fox.
Chuck Berry and 'My little Dingolfing'?
Band 'The Tuff Darts' Great live, album a disappointment due to management interference so better on 'Live at CB GBs' with their raw edge. That album also featured Mink DeVille, now there is a rare car!
Not to leave out the Darts opposition 'Hunting Tigers in Indiah' Bonzo Dog Dodah Band.
Richard Warren on a test drive 'Puppet on a string' or Queen - 'Gordons ALIVE!', thanks Brian.

Rolling Tobbaco, sorry, Stones 'Get off my cloud' Where are those bits, cough!

"Rolux, dont do it" Frankie goes to Hollywood.
A Rovin a Rovin since Rovins been my ru-i-in.
Tigerfeet Mud.

Speak for yourself Marcus! :D
None of my bits have fallen off, I am complete and in full working order!
So far.
But I have picked up pieces from Al, Goggo, Car Clubs etc.!
-
In Eastbourne there was a group calling themselves "Betty Swallocks". They were a hot band. ;D But this is off topic, I think.
-
Yes Rob
That is DEFINITELY off topic
