Engine In The Car Goes 'Bbbbbb Bbbbbb...'

There's a Nissan ad for the new Z series, with a whimsical song in the background. "Take me ridin' in the car car / I wanna go ridin' in the car." I knew it was a folk tune from a while back, but wasn't sure where it came from.

Well, thanks to the digital crack shoppe that is the iTunes Music Store, I can now report that song is a cover of Woody Guthrie's "Take Me, Riding In My Car." The cover Nissan uses comes from Ramblin' Jack Elliot, called simply "Riding in My Car." Get your friends hooked on it today -- it's as infectious as the 5,6,7,8s.

I usually trust you without question when it comes to music. However...

Uh, buddy, I'll have to pass on this one.

The thought was nice, though.

You should also get the version by Peter, Paul & Mary, because it's live in concert, and some of the narration is hilarious.

Do you have a viable business but lack the necessary finances to get it off it’s feet?
