@Joe Riley - 'Carhenge' - how clever is that ! I like ! @Nancy Hart - Ha ha - so good to laugh in the morning !
Bea, your song made me think, one could easily do a parody of "This old House," with very few changes. For starters... This Old Car This old car once knew my children This old car once knew my wife This old car drove smooth and steady As we toured the roads of life This old car once rang with laughter This old car heard many shouts Now she crumbles in the pasture Underneath the vines and sprouts Ain't gonna need this car no longer Ain't gonna need this car no more Ain't got time to fix the muffler Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to scrape the peeling paint Ain't gonna need this car no longer I'm getting ready to meet the saints . . (anyone care to add or improve?) . I was surprised to find only one other attempt, and it wasn't funny. In the Congressional Record [Rep Tom Steed (D-OK)], reported in The Evening Sun, Hanover, PA, June 4, 1955: . This Old Car---A Grim Parody.
Israeli visual effects artist Eugene Romanovsky wanted to sell his old 1996 Suzuki Vitara SUV, so he created this out-of-this-world 2-minute video to advertise its qualities. The ad shows the car zipping around in ordinary landscapes before appearing in famous movies and on the moon.
