Jefferson Airplane - She Has Funny Cars

[7josh11]

People who listen only to mainstream music know Airplane for the two songs they hear most often on mainstream radio: White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. But this album is full of good songs, this being only one. Although I didn't grow up in the 60's (I was born in the 70's) I can feel the lifestyle that defined that decade through this kind of music. I hope to always be a fan of this music.

padleyni what do you want she is 72 years old now so if you expect to see the beautiful young grace she isn't! but she look good even today!@

[rj689]

in the begining it sounded like the doors touch me was about to drop

[jochzac]

Very cool song it's my favourite from this album !! The voices r amazing!!

[twiggystick]

This music is as fresh and vibrant as it ever was when I used to play it relentlessly on vinyl. Fantastic, amazing group. Everyone should have "Surrealistic Pillow" in their music collection.

[marksmail2]

This was the flip side to "Somebody To Love" I don't think I've heard it in about 45 years!

[sfaster]

Marty Balin, what a songwriter and vocalist............Oh yeah, thanks Jorma for that great guitar works within....................

[robphilll22]

Very underated song in their collection of work.

[Unyumyaz]

You Can Collect

all the neglect

or all the self respect you need

gotta love the lyrics

[alderems]

Yes, all the gushing about Grace; I agree. But really, isn't the opening drum part on this song darn infectious? As a 7th or 8th Grader, I couldn't get that rhythm out of my head!

[billyjoeboomboom]

@alderems Definitely agree - great jazz pattern on the ride cymbal during the verses too!

[Nguli34689]

FLASH: Paradise!!! Yeah.

[SilverSumo]

This is such a fine unique song. Bravo.

Tra le più belle dei Jefferson Airplane.....

[MrPinkfloydfan420]

i love the fuzz bass, this sounds awesome on vinyl. why did u old guys ever switch to cds?

[ORELUR]

Absolutey fantastic opener.This song is a knockout in all aspects : its musical structure , the soaring vocals, the growling fuzz guitars,the pounding Gene Krupa drum opening and the unhinged guitar solo at the end over a bed of distorted bass and seething rythym guitar. I'll always love the Airplane.They gave us so much great music . I hope some of the younger players turn on to them.

my sister owned two jefferson airplane records this one and a blue comp (i still haven't forgiven her to not have let me have it and sold it, seems a rare one) which she played non stop when I was a baby sharing a room with her. This song is one of the first sounds of rock music I heard and I thank her for getting me into the JA.

I saw Jorma Kaukonen at hardly strictly Bluegrass this year in Golden gate park He is still great, please seek his new music CD's and add them to your collections.

[noodlam]

Incredible song ahead of it's time in many ways.

[vectortemple]

Yeah - this is a GREAT song that I forgot about - it showed where the Airplane were headed.. it's still understated here - on Baxter's and Pointed Little Head they had developed it a lot more - there were still part a 'folk rock' band on the first two albums - so I don't listen to them much and forgot this song. They are so underrated - musically they were very advanced and distinctive - always preferred them to the Dead - but they didn't have a single charismatic personality to unite them.

[corona046]

if anyone doesent mind me asking what is this song about?

[foreveraien]

my favourite JA song of all the time

[tapeduk]

a great start to a great album

[lagunaflyguy]

"Your mind's guaranteed it's all you ever need so what do you want from me?"

[IDLERACER]

This song has an opening riff that is a variation on the "Last Train To Clarksville" riff, which itself, is a variation on the "Run For Your Life" riff. All roads seem to lead back to the Beatles.

[SimonRamone1]

ive heard that grace slicks father or mother is half swedish. is that true.

if it was true that would be cool.

cause im a JA fan from sweden.

[pyrophore]

Grace, whose maiden name is Wing, is of Norwegian ancestry.

Jorma is of course Finnish.

[Billboy10]

Jorma's father was Finnish and his mother was Jewish......Beatrice Levine Kaukonen.

[internationalicon]

Grace Slick was (and is) a babe.

[txeire]

she was unbelivably hot when she was young. and she aged beautifully

[tom6612]

@txeire -- Almost like something out of a dream when you think about what a creative genius she was too. There were a few at the time like her (Joni for example). No airheads.

[padleynj]

@txeire you r out of your mind! Slick looks like hell. check out any of the her latest interviews.

[txeire]

@padleynj

well, let me clarify that I havent seen her lately, I meant she looked good into her forties or so..lol

[dadgadable]

@txeire no man, she is ugly now, just a monstrosity

[Monchoso17]

TOTALYY!!!

[clickswitchh]

@internationalicon I doubt youll find her very attractive today my friend

[bluefromanairplane]

[venezuelano1234]
