Either Jim Henson and his staff were in the dark as to the true origins of the song or they were perpetrating a clever inside joke for the adults "in the know" to enjoy while they were forced to listen to the Muppet songs ad nauseum.

RIP, JH!
Wow, we have a winner !!!!!!!!!! The song was written and produced by the Italian maestro Piero Umiliani for the sexploitation film - Svezia, inferno e paradiso (Sweden: Heaven and Hell). Good job Marburk ! PM me for your exclusive JD

I wanted to nominate a song with a bit of a classical bent;

Rob Dugan Will You Follow Me

Your best bet is to google it, the youtube video will pop right up. Fabulous for winding roads!

I first heard it on Top Gear, and used an iPhone app to identify it. Turned out I already had the CD. Note to self; listen to all the tracks.

That is really, really good. For a serious offering on driving music (because my next post will be in the "cheesy/groan" them on this thread), I also suggest any track from NFL Films "Autumn Thunder"

This should be perfect driving music for Johnny Danger (and any secret agents in training) - memorable lyrics from our youth, but with a more hip beat; Speed Yellow vehicle; and innuendo-laden lyrics.

Here is a techno-type track from Swedish muscian Bo ("Bosse") G. Eriksson from the group "E-Type Club." I used to listen to this while driving when I still had my '63 XKE roadster, for obvious reasons.

If you like techno, you might like Lunar by Nothing But The Beat. This is fantastic on a good system, but it is seriously techno.

I'll see your techno, and raise you dance; Changed the Way You Kissed Me by Example. Yes, I know he's rap, but it's 95% dance, 5% dance.

(I have really got to figure out how to do the magical link thing, my posts keep getting delayed when I copy/paste the URL)

The version I heard on my AM radio was by Coven.

Marburk 01-24-2013 09:25 PM
The song was originally recorded by the Canadian Pop Group "The Original Castle" in 1969. Coven recorded it in 1971 in the US and that version was featured in the film "Billy Jack" later that same year.

Gee, that's what my fourth wife said to me regarding the Dangermobile ? :(

Agent D:

Is this turning into a throwdown to post the shlockiest songs/videos ever? Or was this whole thread just your master plan for almost a year to turn Boxster owners into Barbara Eden fans?
