A song about any form of mechanical transport. This includes bicycles, motorcycles, cars, tracks, busses, steamrollers, ships, aircraft, and much more. The song must specifically mention the means of transport eg. ‘I’m riding my tricycle to happiness’.

The Chattanooga Choo Choo today is a preserved railroad facility with roots dating back to the early 20th century. Given the appropriate name, Terminal Station, it was funded and built by the Southern Railway as its primary passenger complex serving the city of Chattanooga.
Glen Miller is arguably the most famous and successful of all the Big Band leaders, conductors and composers. Today’s song, Chattanooga Choo Choo, was not composed by Glen Miller but was made famous in the 1941 movie Sunday Valley Serenade, and the first song to receive a gold record for having sold more than 1,2 million copies.
It was Glenn’s orchestra that played the movie version. Here is a modern, hip-shakin’ toe-tappin’ version. Enjoy!

This is a real blast from the past, hopefully, you all recognise it! The band was formed in. 1969 and made famous with this hit in 1974 that sold 2m copies!

Just having some fun. Found a few and had one that I thought was a funny song, but nobody would really get what they were meaning as its lots of fishing jargon. So I went with a cool tune, with a country vibe, song about – yip – Fishing Boats!

SHEENA EASTON was a British singing star in the ’80s. Her path to fame was documented in a TV series about a rising star. She sang the theme song for the James Bond movie “For Your Eyes Only” She still performs to this day. Google her for her song list
My choice is “9 to5” ( Morning Train) Enjoy!!

If you enjoy good country guitar – you will appreciate this song. If you dig country rock you will love it. If like me, you are a classic car, bike and plane fan – this might blow you away. Pure and simple entertainment.
