greatest car crash songs

[Dominic]

Rock music has a long and distinguished history of songs about car crashes. So give us your favorite! (motorcycles, busses, and other road vehicles count!)

My favorite, the grandmother of them all:



Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-Las

What a great song. It hit number 1 in '64. Of course, it reaches it's pinnacle at the "look out look look out" part right before the crash. It was also banned in the UK because they were fearful it would inspire violence between Mods and Rockers. Now that's a song!

What's your choice for best car crash song?

Car Crash - Our Lady Peace

Not very original, I know, but Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Kiss".

Are you counting New Wave hits? "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal is like a 4-minute version of the Ballard novel Crash.
