On the flip side: Cheri by the Peter Moon Band (haven't heard that song in ages)

Mahalo Gecko for finding the band name of The Ohio Players for "Love Roller Coaster". At least I was right that it was a funk band from the 70's. That was "before my time".

Ugh. Nothing will bring out age difference faster then what you were doing when a particular song was a hit. I can say this particular song was not before my time.

I did have to look it up. At first I thought it was "Ohio Express" but that turned out to be a different group. But, hey, I got the state right.

Along the theme of roller coasters: Palisades Park (and that one is before my time, but I liked the "oldies". My high school would put on a 50's show, so I got into it.)

Re: Songs That Roll, Float or Fly

In your "Ships, Boats" category, you may have missed SUBMARINES! Such as:
Yellow Submarine - The Beatles
One of Our Submarines - Thomas Dolby

Yes, those are good ones that I missed.

In that same submarines category:

Life in Dark Water - Al Stewart (1978 album track)

Adding to the cars/ vehicles:

Working at the Car Wash Blues - Jim Croce
Back Seat of My Car - Paul & Linda McCartney (from the "Ram" album)
Bitchin' Camaro - Dead Milkmen
Paradise By the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf
Behind the Wheel / Route 66 - Depeche Mode

Re: Songs That Roll, Float or Fly

LavaGal, "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf is a very cool tune. Not sure about the year of release. Again Even better when you take a "Magic Carpet Ride" along with this F-18 Navy Carrier Pilot!

Oh my! I am sure at one time or another I have posted on HT how I always wanted to go up in one of these gorgeous beasts--having been in the USAF in the 1980s and having gone up in a stubby C-150? with the Hurricane Hunters during Iniki and having had a few hops out of Hawaii, including on a C-5. This is one for my iPod and for the eventual acquisition from Apple (after Tuesday, of course). Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my! Thanks Pomai! Oh MY!

You gotta check out the original by Tom Cochrane sometime.

Love Roller Coaster - The Ohio Players.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have done a remake, too.

FLY ROBIN FLY - Silver Convention

MAGIC CARPET RIDE by Steppenwolf came out during my college days in 1968, following BORN TO BE WILD, which was about motorcycle gangs.

"Rollin', Rollin', rollin' down the river"....

But I can't remember who sung it.

Terry Gilkinson and the Easy Riders?

Sounds like "Proud Mary" - you could go with Ike & Tina Turner or Creedence Clearwater Revival, for starters.

OH YEAH!!!! That's what I'm talkin' about! Having a great smile must help. She did well, despite going crosseyed and passing out a couple of times. I doubt I could do much better. But I sure would love the opportunity to try!

Military pilots are an amazing lot. G*d bless each and every one.

I never heard that one before. Parody on Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". There's a video of it here!

Then I suppose his other parody "White and Nerdy" would qualify. A parody of Riding Dirty by Chamillionaire. That video is HILARIOUS.

Good Ship Lollipop - Shirley Temple

When I was kid, I thought she was saying "On a Good SHIFT, Lollipop". lol
