Biker Songs

[northwind]

Little Honda by the Beach Boys...

"It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike"

You have to admire the way they rhymed "bike" with "bike" there, that's proper songsmithing.

Hmm. "5 Kids Go" by Hell is for Heroes isn't actually about bikes at all, but could be: "Empty highroads calling, calling"

Wait... I'm getting something... One by Metallica.

That's Metallicar- One.

Despite being a huge Bon Jovi fan and lovin' "Wanted" I have to say that my favourite bike song is "The Motorcycle Song" by Arlo Guthrie

Fantastic, funny and well worth a listen

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!

Jesus wants me as a sunbeam not part of your repetoire then? :P

I guess we'll have to have the Bladerunner and Blade soundtracks too...

Alas, I have no prize to send you, for if I did you would have earned it

Seconded. Red hair and black leather - definitely my favourite colour scheme.

There's a parody of the "Wild Rover" song that goes, "...and it's no, nay, never/ no nay never, no more/ will I plaaaay the Hell's Angel/no never, no more."

It's quite funny and goes on sing about the hero of the song trying to find parts for his bike only to be told, "...You're riding a Norton/We stock BSA."

Oddly enough, it used to be a campfire song in scouts!

Just found the full lyrics (we sang it a bit different in places, but it was largely the same)

The Hells Angel

Well I've been a hells angel for many a year
And I’ve spent all me money on black leather gear
But now I’m returning my bum it is sore
And never I’ll play the hells angel no more

Chorus

And it's No Nay Never (Right up your clutch)
No nay never no more
Will I play the hells angel
No never no more

I went into a garage I used to frequent
And told the mechanic my crankshaft was bent
I asked for a new one, he answered me nay
He said your’s is Norton we stock BSA

Chorus

I took from my pocket, a brand new flick knife
And his eyes opened wide, in fear for his life
He shouted I'M SORRY, TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE
I said ta very much mate I'll have a new bike

Chorus

Well as I was picking my brand new machine
Some 40 odd skinheads appeared on the scene
They said “Oi, you want bovver?”, I could not say nay
As 20 steel toecaps were heading my way

Chorus

Now as I recover in the intensive care ward
I practice my alphabet to stop getting bored
‘Cos after the kicking my head it is sore
And never I’ll play the Hells Angel no more

Those 40 skinheads only had one shoe between two eh?

I've got a brand new combine harvester.
