Eeeewwww!!!
That's not what I hear when I ride.
I usually have Anthrax's "Death Rider" going through my head.
They think this song will sell bikes?
If I had known before hand, this may have turned me off buying the bike.

I don't know about a boulevard song, but the Hondells' "My Little Bike" tends to bubble thru my head while riding.

Pretty lame.

I'm all for Judas Priest while riding, espescially "Killing Machine" and "Running Wild." Social Distortion is good, too, espescially "Boulevard" and "Sick Boy."

Running Wild lyrics:
move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Dead or alive there's nothing
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
Cause what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild

No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say
I taste the life that pleases me
And raise a storm for all the world to see
I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebel but I walk tall
And I demand respect

I move amongst the nightlife
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get outta my way
I'm running wild
I'm running wild
You better believe it

Sick Boy lyrics:
Sick-boy, in his faded blue jeans
Sick-boy, black leather jacket scene
Sick-boy, he's always in trouble
With the law don't ya know...

Sick-boy, he carries a switchblade knife,
Sick-boy, likes to get into fights.
Sick-boy, he'll go drinkin'
With the boys all night long.

[Chorus:]
Sick boys-ohwayoh
Sick boys-nananana
Sick boys

Sick-boy, rides a big motorbike,
Sick-boy, combs his hair up just right.
Sick-boy, with tattoos up and
Down his arms, don't ya know...

Sick-boy, he's got a girl wrapped around his arm,
Sick-boy, with his street-like charm.
Sick-boy, he'll make love to her
All night long, don't ya know...

If this is too long, let me know and I'll kill most of it... or you mods can do it! Whatever.

Death Rider lyrics:

Riding hard, high in the saddle
Winged steed of unwearing flight
Sweeping through air just like fire
Swift of the foot, great of might

Hear the screams
Feel the bite
We ride with death
Tonight

Here it comes
You better hide
Shoot the guns
You're gonna die

Conquering all, spreading terror
Hoofs gallop in thunderous pound
Devouring the souls of the wretched
Trampling them down to the ground

Gripping the reins of destruction
Made of steel on his hands
Holder of forces immortal
Slaughtering all in his path

Sounds like one of the monsters Judas Priest sings about! Couldn't find the Hondell's song...

It's a shame Suzuki is sooo far off base with that song, makes you wonder what age group they are trying to attract. I usually have Deep Purple's "Place in Line" running through my head while riding. Another one that I like to hum is "Going up the Country" by Canned Heat. Could always pull a Richard Petty and sing along with the engine rpms while biting down on a towel :D. The song of a big thumper is sweet music to my ears.

You know, that's still not the worst I've heard in relation to motorcycles. I walked into one of the local Yamaha shops and nearly ran back out again. They had one of those boy bands playing. You just don't expect/want teenie-bopper pop playing. Kinda ruins the feel, methinks.

As for what's in my head? "Freebird" or "Red, White, and Blue" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Occasionally Motly Crue, the Cult, or Steppenwolf.

Or, in my case, the old man is down the road.

I'm nearly 75 and I'm afraid I don't recognise any of the songs you folks are talking about. Guess I'll just have to listen to the Sweet Suzie Single sing her own song! Keep on thumping!

Spike Jones would be using the Savage as a musical instrument. Talk about a strong backbeat.

I hear Springsteen's "Born to Run" or "Thunder Road" when I'm riding.

Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild or Magic Carpet Ride are cool. Foghat's Slow Ride is quite good also. I'm a fan of Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell and Golden Earring's Radar Love.

Title: Re: The Boulevard Song!
Post by LondonThing on 01/19/06 at 08:44:32

Magic Carpet Ride DEFINATLY cool!

However being a tad younger, I quite like the FatBoySlim re-mix of it :P

Call me what you will, but hey, its funky!!

Title: Re: The Boulevard Song!
Post by Savage_Rob on 01/19/06 at 08:58:34

Since reading Sluggo's mention of Foghat, I've had Fool For The City playing in my head.

Maybe they removed the link out of embarrassement? I tried Mozilla and IE and couldln't find a link in the "bottom right." However, It doesn't surprise me that I'm not the first to bring up cycle songs. The one I linked to was more of the "listening to at home" rather than "riding down the road."

I suggest Slayer's "Angel of Death" and Iron Maiden's "The Trooper". Just strap it on tight, first!

I am currently listenting to "The Boulevard Song" as I type - if I can stay awake long enough to finish.
Sounds more like a lullaby than a riding song.

I was a teenager in the 70s, so it's Steppenwolfe, CCR, Meatloaf, Sabbath, Zeppelin for me.

"The Trooper" works, but mostly I hear Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction". :o ;D
