Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen - Hot Rod Lincoln

[TheSuperCRASHer]

[KryptnGaming]

American cars were cool until the rest of the world discovered steering. We're still having trouble with that.

@yamahonkawazuki you realize that Obama has no control over General Motors or The Ford Motor Company and their plant relocation decisions, right? The USA has what is known as a free market system.

Gotta love these Low Information Voters...

[anotherbaldguy]

If anybody is interested, the red hotrod in the slideshow at 0:35 is the real model A with a Lincoln motor, owned by Charley Ryan who wrote the song & first recorded it. And that's him with the car.

[2trips]

@anotherbaldguy thanks! neat car.

[CamarilloBB]

@playterraria2 Don't understand your question "why do you think he said model A?" He said model A for two reasons. For one, he had a model A. And most importantly, the song is a response to the song "Hotrod race" which says model A.

[CKdillan]

@patrick9648 Doesn't sound like the "original" from 1972?? Try 1955. Non of the versions by the many artists who have covered it sound like the original, including the one from 1972.

[CKdillan]

@yamahonkawazuki It was San Pedro originally. But that's the least of the changes in the lyrics. Every version by all the many artists who have released the song have made changes.

[yamahonkawazuki]

pulled out of la late one night?, thought it was pulled out of san pedro late one night

[hickboy1995]

of course the caddy is gonna win..,its GM

[yamahonkawazuki]

@hickboy1995 until obama sent the engine plant to mexico lol

One of the greatest times I have ever had in my life was seeing Commander Cody and the original Airmen live in a small club. This was back in the '70s. They were so much fun I couldn't believe it. They rocked the house down. They were a really great band and they don't make them like that any more, unfortunately.

[Syzygy60]

FORD made 5 million Model A bodys perfect for Hot Rods

[packy046]

Timeless baby....

[grizzzlymx]

BADLANDS!!!!

[thunderbird948]

how in the hell could anyone dis like this song

[gcpropertymanagement]

I recommend the Pumpkin Run in Owensville, OH. This is in Clermont Co, Ohio in October. If you like classic and hot rods, you will enjoy that car show. There is still an old rod shop there.

[Syzygy60]

model 1908

ford made 5 million

[onemooners]

[patrick9648]

this don't sound like the original from 1972

[hempzigzags101]

@patrick9648 its some sort of live version, the words are definitely somewhat different.

[jimwig2000]

[commandercodyvideos]

My dad called me 11 minutes ago after a long shift at haggens, and it was the normal retarded formalities and a thankless reminder of gardening success and shit like that, and we somehow got to talking about this song. He sung a spoken verse of it, and i was clicking my tongue like a disrespectful 11 year old, because i wanted a shower. But as soon as he talked me into listening to it that ignorance and workwear melted away, and i came to respect my dad and his proffesion a little bit more.

[Slugg329]

HOT.... ROD...... LINCOLN!

[nholt]

I wish they played this stuff on the radio. Instead we have to hear Freebird and Hotel California again for the millionth time.

[eljefereal]

@nholt look up KHYI online, i just heard it driving home from work.

[mnemick]

Rappers????????? Ha. Pay attention.

[Sluggo552]

[makemson97]

@LittaGangsta i agree

[kja427]

Did he perform this song live in 1972? If so, where's the footage?

[kthinsa]

One of the all-time best driving songs...

[billyleedee]

George Frane .. The really good commander ...

[jlilyroth12]

Little Paul Taylor.....73 Ford Falcon....lines on the road looked like dots!!! Great summer. 1974

[stratnam53]

Sorry tommie your wrong, this is not Johnny Bond's song, it was written by Charlie Ryan in 1955. Commander Cody smokes them both!!!

[ThePuzzycattify]

:)

[MrOldschool64]

5 people suck big time!

[arweiss100]

Wow this song still is so bada**! Reminds me of something I heard recently! ;-) I've seen Bill Kirchen perform this live and it is such an infectious song. The end is the best part! Love the lyrics and the entire band plays just a tour de force of virtuosity.

[tommieparch]

this ass cant compete with johnny bond!, yet he acts like its his own song.

[burmad01]

These guys opened before the Dead in 73 in Oakland. I'll never forget it. What a party !!!!

[Furyfromthesky25]

very few song can rhyme a 4:11 ratio for the rearend. dude!

or, for that matter, what it means.

[Cythereaswetworld]

[majesticteam12]

we would badger the DJs relentlessly to play this song

[Jeffabrams69]

go to jeffabrams69

[CRAMERR69]

I haven't heard this song since 1973, I was 6, and my dad used to walk around the house signing this song. Had to call him to see if he remembered, he did!

[Ocker3]

I reckon this version has the lyrics flowing the best. some versions the lyrics just don't match the rhythm well

[Satchmoeddie]

@Ocker3 Charlie Ryan did the original and it is one of the best. CC and his LPA are just awesome as a group with superb musicians all around. We lost Ryan in 2008. Roger Miller's version was kind of lacking, but still its a fun song for anyone to cover.

[Satchmoeddie]

@Ocker3 It is kind of a mouth full of words to spit out in time to the music. Bond's version was so so for the words and rhythm. Charlie Ryan's was the first to hit vinyl in any big time form, and it is one of the better ones. CC& his LPA are just totally killer great with all their respective instruments forming one exceptionally great band. As for loads of lyrics to spit out during a song, no one has Neal Pert of Rush beat for wordieness. This song is great his stuff is beyond extreme.

[0nman]

what a hoot!!!

[smilingman555]

I was driving down a gravel road with a few of my buddies when this song came on the radio back in 1962 maybe. I put a little too much pedal to the metal and started fish tailing down a hill and tried braking going into a sharp left curve. Hmm, I didn't quite make it. Down we went off the road into some big trees. Nobody hurt, but the car had a few dents and lost a muffler.

[WhosLineHorward]

Used to watch these guys at Mr. Flood's Party in Ann Arbor in the mid '70s. They rocked that little bar!

[steelfitter50]

MAN! these cats are COOKING!

[DoctorBob409]

Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen

[howlingsandy]

the first version of this song conveyed sense of being real experience, had the proper 12 cylinder mill... and some lines about "goin' round the corner tires on their sides" which is how it was doing that. This band is good but this cover doesn't cover it heheheh

[issenterprise1]

best song ever!!!!!

[Mastas999]

My dad threw his hat on stage and commander Cody put his hat on and played this song with him and threw it back lol Commander Cody is great

[Unclemikefusny]

Apparently, John Tichy "left the band" in 1976 to become a fluids and aero professor at RPI in 1976..... What a small world......

[black3119]

@Unclemikefusny Yup he did. I was in his class in 1993. He'd play with his buds at local bars in Troy, NY at Christmastime and lots of us students would come and watch.

[Backwoodsjess]

My pappy said "Son, yer gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod lincoln"

[whitesuumo]

dude this guy forgot to put in the best part...the beginning

[gforcefood]

The begining of rap!!

[moparpunk1]

[Remington4020]
