If you think that The Beatles only wrote love ballads or psychedelic songs, think again. They were really, totally car-savvy. OK, we could look at John Lennon’s Phantom Rolls-Royce for proof, but instead we will look at their songs that explicitly refer to driving a car. 

1. Penny Lane. Under the blue suburban skies there once was “a banker with a motorcar” and a fireman who liked “to keep his fire engine clean”. There were also a barber and a nurse, but those were too interested in shaving beards and selling poppies.

2. A Day in the Life. In the middle of the song John Lennon’s character “made the bus in seconds flat”. Before that, though, they read a story from the newspaper, a rather gruesome one. It was about a man who “blew his mind out in a car, he didn’t notice that the lights had changed”. Next time you decide to speed up, remember this song. 

3. Lovely Rita. Not sure Paul or John would be particularly impressed by the modern meter maids, especially since so many of them are guys and not really approachable either. But back in 1960s it was so much more different. Even though a girl looked “like a military man”, she agreed to a dinner, paid the bill (!), and even brought the guy home to sit on a sofa “with a sister or two”. This is when you begin to regret the passage of time. 

4. Taxman. The list of songs about driving and riding would be incomplete without the mention of the notorious taxman. “If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street… if you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet”. So far so true. 

5. Drive My Car. By far, the most car-related and car-focused Beatles song. A very humorous one, as well. Never mind your own prospects, baby, if you can drive my car, you are in for a fortune. OK, not before I am really famous and with a car, but “I found the driver, that’s a start!”
