Johnny was as famous for his novelty songs as he was for his prison concerts. I mean, he sang songs like "A Boy Named Sue," "The One On The Right Is On The Left," The Chicken In Black," and this one here. I do admit the fact that I've seen a lot of Cadillacs over the years, but this is the first, and only one of it's kind.
One piece at a time......you build your own car from spare parts... know that, real.
Did you know, that this song exists as a german Cover-Version from Gunther Gabriel "Ein Stückchen pro Tag"? Refrain in German:
"Ich nehm´ nur ein Stückchen pro Tag, und es kost´ mich keine Mark. Und irgendwann, dann bin ich auch am Ziel. und meine Nachbarn stehn´ staunend da, wenn ich stolz durch meine Straße fahr´, mit meinem neuen Luxus-Automobil"... I think a great hommage to Johnny´s origin version. R.I.P.
I love this song.. and love sharing songs like this with my kids.. even when they say the wrong song by the correct artist (sometimes), it still brings a smile to my face =)
This is my all-time favorite automobile song!!!!!!! Only Johnny Cash can do this song justice with his sincere, deadpan expression while singing this hilarious song!!! Great to see both Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter, in this vintage video.
Everybody I have met that met this man in person carried with them a story of respect for the few minutes they shared space with his greatness!
The best is from a man in Welch Oklahoma named Bill Patch(RIP). Bill was young and owned a coal mine, he built the very car that Johnny sung about, "One Piece At A Time"
Drove it to Nashville and gave him the car, and he said when Johnny came out of the house he teared up when he saw the photo of all the men at the mine around the car!
"but up at the court house they did'nt laugh coz to type it up took the whole staff and when they got through the title weighed 60 pounds" Those lines are some of the best i have ever heard :)
They don't have good songs and videos anymore like this one because people just want to hurry up and rush so they can impress people by how much time they didn't take. A lot of people think the new music is better. What happened to the 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s and 1990s? I miss that kind of music. I feel like crying.
this song needs a higher rating...too bad there isn't a 6/5 stars lol... Johnny has been my favorite singer of all time for years this song is just great =)
The '73 Caddy could have been a 472 w/a quadrobog carb. And a Turbo 400 tranny?? Where there is a will there is a way. My Dad put a 302 in a Ford Pinto!
I know it's all for fun, but being a car guy I got to thinking about the logistics of putting a 1953 transmission to a 1973 engine..... GM had the 3 speed automatic with 360 ci V8s in '53 on Cadillacs, and the engine from '73 would have most likely been a 500 c.i. V8, so that part is entirely possible. There were no computers or advanced electronics in any Cady untill the early 80's, so all the electrical and wiring would be easy. It's getting all the body parts to fit that would be impossible.
I need help. I am looking for the Karaoke to June Carter Cash's jukebox blues. I have a 10y/o daughter who can sing that song with all the twang of June. Does anyone know where to find it??? Thanks!!
I used to sing this song loads of times at a local karaoke. It was some people there who got me into singing it-and good job they did too! (They made me improve on it each time!)
I saw Johnny perform this song at the Valley Forge Music Fair near Philadelphia back in the late 70's. They showed this video on a screen at the concert. It was great.
This is a 49-50-51-52-53-54 Cadillac, named for the number one hit in 1976 by Johnny Cash. This vehicle has been on display at "The House Of Cash" museum in Hendersonville, TN for a number of years before it was purchased by Wayne Lensing for Historic Auto Attractions.
and one door and one headlight on the other.This car has two doors and two headlights on one side...
I think it's in a auto museum in Illinois. Someone told me the guy who owns Lefthander Chassis (stock car racing) has a museum with old cars like this and race cars and this is one of them.
good and funny song!!
