  • The song is called "Beep Beep"

  • 8 people have cadillacs

  • Love this! My sister and I used to listen this on our "Funky Favorites" record along with Snoopy and the Red Baron. My aunt's brother had a Rambler with a worked over Ford 289 and toploader 4 speed. This song makes me think of that sleeper every time I hear it. I haven't heard this in over 20 years. Thanks!

  • reminist the other day of this one with my machanic brother.lots laughs giggles too.

  • I remember this from a Demento anthology

  • reminds me of the old Rolls Canarlly, Rolls down one hill canarlly get up the next... LOL ... Great song and thanks for sharing.

  • cool song verry funny

  • I used to date a guy that had one of these.

  • Joe, Would you I have looked for that song,and Allie Oop.Nobody has um I did find... Purple People Eater.

  • oh so funny was long ago and still now also.

  • i died of laughter at the end of the song when it was my first time hearing this.

  • here hold this!

  • Where do cour cousins live ? Mine are mosty un Upstate NY.

  • @pjdaoust Your 5% statistic is suspect. Got backup on  that?

  • @robmonster23 5% of what are you referring ?

  • My cousins last name is Daoust. x3

  • 7 Cadillac drivers watched this video. the rest haven't seen it... RAMBLERS ROCK!

  • I used to drive my sister's 63 Rambler. It was a hoot! Straight 6 with an autotrans. Would have been better with a 3 speed, but still fun.

  • First time hearing this song I think it's awesome . And a great testament to it's years.  Thanks for putting it up!

  • who is the original singer to this song ?

  • @SuperWatson1970 The song was originally sung by "The Playmates."

  • This is from Life with Louie!

  • I want a nash 

  • man i remember singing this song in juniior high...lol i used to love singing this song and i still do....

  • these guys sang a song i searched for , for years i didnt know who sang it and i couldnt believe this group sang such a beautiful song, "wait for me" check it out.

  • My brother learned this song in music class!! :D

  • Did you know ... that only 5% of the cars on the road in the US have a manual transmission. So it's fairly uncommon. Also, it is true that manual shift cars are the least stolen ... apparently the crooks don't know how to drive them ... LOL

  • @pjdaoust interesting

  • @pjdaoust one of the aspects i considered when i bought mine! seriously! :D

  • How do I get my car out of second gear? I don't even know how to drive a stick! I love this song and i'm not even 25 years old. This is the type of song that stands the test of time :) It's just so cool!

  • lmao out of second gear lmao

  • My dad and I used to sing this together when I was a kid. He made me laugh until I cried. At 81, he died in 2007. I sure do miss him.

  • Андерсон - три круга!

  • Мой Реблел!? ...

  • beep beep

  • when i was in boyscouts, my scoutmaster would always sing this song during a campfire with his guitar.

  • i got a 1962 rambler

  • I wish I still had my 62 Rambler Wagon now. LOL

    The car I first learned to drive.

  • Um ... Cadillac ? Caddy ? That's the most creative spelling I have ever seen for Cadillac. Hope you enjoyed the video.

  • Ill show him that a caytaylak (however you spell it) is a car to scorn

  • That's a great story. How old is your son now ? PJD

  • @pjdaoust He is almost 13 and is saving his money now for his first car. Strangely enough he wants to look for something that can be a "fixer-upper" and in the 1960's if possible. He reads Hemmings like iit's the morning news, looking for any new cars that he might not have seen the day before. Some people find it funny that he wants to restore an older car. He really appreciates the classics and there isn't anything wrong with that in my eyes! I have a '69 Roadrunner, so we can race! LOL

  • @MayBnutz Sunbeeam Tigers are cool old cars. Nash and later AMC made some wild stuff. I have had a Javelin and later an AMX. I also had a Charger and Challenger. My friend has a Roadrunner Hemi 426 courtesy of his wife. He had better pray she does not trade him in on a newer model.LOL Anymore I am looking into the Prius type cars. Watching the fuel gauge go one way and the speedometer go the other had its moments, but with gas at $3.29.Gallon, its sight I can live without. 426 Gremlin!ROTFL

  • @Satchmoeddie Wow that is some collection of cars! I would love to have a charger or a challenger some day. Currently I have a 440 in my Roadrunner but I do have a 426 Hemi waiting to go in it. I just want to see what the original 440 motor that came with the car is going to run first. And yes, I don't blame you for looking into something cheaper on gas, my Runner is currently not streetable unless I change it around. Race gas is well over $5.00 a gallon and it doesn't go very far these days!

  • @MayBnutz

    Have him bum around on Craigslist. Quite a few great finds on there every once and a while.

  • @CrazyCatMan27 Thanx for the reply and the suggestion. Actually that was one ways that he was looking for his car and stumbled upon a 1965 Plymouth that he just bought this past weekend. It is a LONG and hard project to be worked on, but he still has a few years before he can even drive it, so it will be a great learning experience along the way for him. It is great to see the little ones so excited about the older cars - I hope they keep the spirit alive. ;o)

  • @MayBnutz I'm 18 and started a 65 mustang fastback 2 years ago. still not done but its getting there. It seems as though there arn't as many guys into restoring old cars. Good thing is there's more for me. ;)

  • My son was OBSESSED with cars as a baby, (still is - we say he has gasoline in his veins) and I would play this song to him on the way to the racetrack and he would just giggle and scream with excitement as soon as he would hear it start. Years later he still loves to listen to it and remembers the good times hearing it as a baby. I still wonder if he is going to want his first car to be a Rambler. ;o}

  • @MayBnutz That's a great story. How old is your son now ? PJD

  • hahaha...my dad drives a Rambler...ffff yaaaa

  • Love it, but now cant get it out of my head!!!

  • I think the last time I heard this song was the mid 60's, good old memories. Thanks for post it.......... ;- )

  • You can get this song at  frostwire, under dr demento...little nash rambler, good luck people, hope y'all find it and enjoy it.That's where I got my version...

  • @LMMN8R Ha ha, beat u all, I've still got my 45rpm,

  • Awesome!!!

  • I love this song!!! Thanks for the upload.

  • BEEP BEEP!

  • Can't get it out of second how did u get it out of first.How fast can that mofo go?

  • @steeltoelion Thats the whole joke.  He was passing a Caddy that was doing its top speed while claiming his Rambler still had another whole gear to go. lol this song is awesome.

  • Lo fuckin l

  • Definitly a classic! Thanks for the post!

  • This song is titled Beep Beep it's by The Playmates Thanx for posting it

  • I remember hearing this in the 60's . didn't hear it again until I was listening to a Dr. Demento radio show late one night several years back . Great song !

  • Lovely car, lovely song end lovely video =)

  • It would be better if the rambler driver flicked of the guy in the catalac. (:-D

  • Do you mean the tune or the video ?

  • I've loved this song since the day I first heard it. And yes, some Ramblers could almost fly! And I remember buying gas for 15.9 cents a gallon.

  • I have this on 45. It hasn't seen a needle in about 32 years though.

  • haven"t heard this song in... who knows...oldie but a goodie. It makes me remember of a old Dennis Weaver movie "DUEL" Remember?

  • Beep! Beep!

  • i love this song its soooo awesome 'he must have thoght his car had more guts as he kept on tooting his horn' lol

  • i love it i cant get it outta my head..... beep beep!!

  • *lol* That was great how the pics sped up with the song.

  • Great vid!! & the car brings back memories, too. We had a 61 4-door with the OHV engine & auto tranny ( which btw was DEFINITELY a Borg Warner), also power steering & Posi diff. Me& my brothers used to drive it in High school (late 60's & early 70's) I had a 62 Classic wagon in about 71.

  • As a young boy in Ozanam Home for Boys outside of Kansas City, Mo., we traveled to California in a Nash Rambler, eventually hooking up with Route 66. While the times were not the best in my life that bit of nostalgia is brought to life with this song and "I'm Going To Kansas City" since I am from Chicago.

  • I forgotten all about this one! It used to be on the radio a lot.

  • This song brings so many great road trip memories with my Grandfather. <3

  • Yes, I know ... PJD

  • the pictured car is not a Nash Rambler. This is a Rambler American manufactured by AMC, the company that was formed from the merger of Nash and Hudson Motor car company.

  • Comment removed

  • @Hlbuchanan: In addition Nash and Hudson did not actually merge. Nash-Kelvinator Corporation changed it's name to American Motors and two days later did a stock exchange for Hudson stock. Legally it was termed a "consolidation". AMC called it a merger so that people would think Hudson was an equal partner with Hudson. That is why AMC's incorporation date was 1916 and not 1954. 

  • I have my own dance for this song, we always try to sing it. The song is just so fun!

  • Thank you so much for sharing this video. I first heard it aired on the Dr. Demento show back in '78 or so. Now, I am inpired to see what else you have shared. Well done.

  • LOLOLOL A fabulous find. Thanks for posting this little gem!!!

  • Beep Beep is such a classic Novelty, Pop Rock song. Thank you for uploading.

  • I sang this to my grandkids last year and they were thrilled, I'll have to show them this video.

  • 110 in second gear?!? LOL!

  • Was listening to this song while driving down the highway... not the best idea lol

  • I can't believe this is on youtube; thank you; thank you very much!!

  • Lol am i the only young guy that likes this song. o_O

  • @Richayye

  • @Richayye I'm another under-40 who enjoys the great music of a bygone era, so you're not alone.

  • i was singing this song to my 2 year old nephew on the way home from the lake on sunday he loves it

  • i remember this song from when i was like 5

  • Play this for Joe Joe!!! LOL!

  • dude lol awesome video! i forgot about these little bathtubs

  • I am only 15 and this song brings back memories. My dad would play this and honk the horn. Back then he was funny, not so much anymore.

  • My aunt had a Rambler American like that,a red convertable. She traded it in on a 1965 Olds Cutlass.

  • Beep Beep is so awesome! I just learned it music class and i LOVE it my Dad had one in fact it was his first car i was suprised to learn that i am so ging to put this on my MP3

  • this song is the shit

  • I swear to GOD i thought i'd never hear this song again !  LOL ! Thank you pjdaoust ! Brings back memories . LOL ! I cant believe it .......

  • Photos back memories

    I worked at a Rambler dealer in the body shop in the mid 1960's

  • I used to sing this song in school assembly when I was 7. Loved it then, and I love it just as much 20 years later! :-)

  • Nice car and crazy f*in song lmfao I've got a '63 American 440 that me and my wife have been tryin to get fixed up but it's hard to find the parts for it (even just generic engine parts like an oil filter) I've got the videos of our progress on my channel if you want to check it out

    another thing you label yours as a Nash but on my pinks it's labeled as AMC I know amc owned nash since '59 i beleive but i was wondering if yours was too or if mine is considered a nash as well :?

  • @d3dreaper To clarify..

    In 1957, Nash and Hudson merged to form "American Motors Corporation", their divisions were AMC, Rambler, and Jeep.

    I Own a 1964 Rambler Classic 770, and parts are REALLY easy to find, just look for any old jeep engine, they are exactly the same, the tranny is different though, they use a buick tranny.

    Pre 1957 it was nash rambler, after, it was just rambler.

  • @hankeybillfred I see lol so basically what we have is nash just under a different name? and mine has a borg warner t-39 (i believe lol) that was used in 71 Chryslers as well.... and i've learned that once you start digging eventually you'll find your treasure chest lol

  • @d3dreaper Its an AMC.

    Pre 57, Nash

    57 or after, its AMC.

    Might i recommend you go to w w w (dot) jalopyjournal (dot) com (slash) forum, you can learn alot about ramblers, old fords, and just about any other pre-1965 car.

  • @hankeybillfred lol i wasn't meaning that it was still nash, just that basically it is a nash with a different branding to it due to the merge of nash and hudson. And i truly do appreciate your help with that site! amazing information on there

  • My mom & dad have the 45 - memories for those of us older than 30! I just sent the link to my family. Thanks for posting this pjdaoust!! :)

  • The Playmates, Beep Beep, i do this @ karaoke a bit

  • alan sherman was a genius! hes the singer

  • My dad used to drive Ramblers lol.

  • I've only heard this song a few times in my 21 years but I think it's so much fun! I hope one day to teach it to my little nieces or nephews because it seems like that type of song you teach your kids. I love when they sing really fast at the end! Back when mainstream music was actually FUN to listen to.

  • Oh geez, this was a favorite when I was a kid, since my aunt had a Cadillac. We used to sing it all the time, I'm so glad it's here so I can share the memory with my kids!

  • I haven't heard this song for about 30 years reminds me of how fast i wanted to get away from my stepmother. Whosoever posted this song ty from the bottom of my heart. Wish i had it on my computer.

  • if you send me your email address I'll send you an mp3 copy of this tune. PJD

  • Cool

  • This is my ring tone for when my grandfather calls me

    He drives a 1969 Rambler American :D

  • Hey, Hey ... why the strong language. Did someone step on your toes from britain ?

  • nice. ^_^

  • I love you tube !

  • my mum showed me this and i love it so much!!!

    lololololololololololololololo­lololoololololol

  • This song brings back so many happy memories from childhood...great posting

  • Great memories are brought back by this tune including remembering how much new cars cost in the 1960's. The pictured Rambler could be had for less than $2000. Even Corvettes ran about $4500. And yeah I recall gas prices being 30 to 35 cents a gallon when I was young.

  • Yes, I remember 25 cent gasoline when I was delivering newspapers in 1960. You could cut grass all day on just a quarters worth of gas. Send me your email and I send you a picture of an Esso sign with 28.9 a gallon price on it.

  • @pjdaoust Yes but you also were only making $1 per hour so that 25 cents was hard to get. Cars were cheap by todays money but they were not cheap when the average worker only made $5,000 per year. New cars were very expensive and very few people owned a new car. Cars are much cheaper today. Gasoline was also not that cheap considering the wages earned.

  • @pjdaoust And a 1960 quarter will still buy a gallon of gas today because the pre-1964 quarters were 90% silver and are worth $3.13 in it's silver value today. 

  • @eric1096 Got you beat. I remember gas prices at 22 cents a gallon. And gas wars where the gas stations would try to out the others by dropping another penny off the price.

  • Songs that have a story to them are awesome.

  • ZOMGosh I can't believe it. I tortured my teenage sisters with this record as a small child. They still have nightmares of a little voice yelling at them - beep beep, beep beep, his horn went beep beep beep. No Elvis for you ;)

  • holy hell. i've been looking for this song for a week. it's been stuck in my head and driving me insane

  • out of seconed gear "ok"

  • i remember getting drunk @14 to this song at a pool hall and the only teenager to know this song..thanks dad

  • love it

  • some friends were here today and we were listening to this song reliving our youth!

  • marilyn manson sampled this

  • ive only herd this on a record and it was scrached so this is the first time i herd the whole song
