A bucket seat is a seat contoured to hold one person, distinct from bench seats which are flat platforms designed to seat multiple people. Bucket seats are standard in fast cars to keep riders in place when making sharp or quick turns. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the name derives from the seat "partly resembling a bucket in shape".
Racing vehicles usually have only one bucket seat. Vehicles sold to the general public often have two bucket seats in the front compartment, and may contain more in a rear compartment. Commercial aircraft now have bucket seats for all passengers.
Automobile bucket seats first came into use after World War II on European small cars, due to:
The first motor sports and fast road bucket seats in Europe were manufactured by Colin Folwell, who subsequently founded Corbeau Seats in the UK in 1963
The bucket seat trend was especially apparent in sporty cars, particularly two-seater sports cars, most of which were manufactured in European nations.
For decades, American cars were typically equipped with bench seats, which permitted three-passenger seating. The advent of compact cars and specialty vehicles such as the Ford Thunderbird in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and sporty versions of both standard-sized and compact cars, accelerated the bucket-seat trend in domestic cars around 1960.

Tell me where you areAnd I will jump into my car
I won't slow down until you're in it
I'm going to go faster than the limit
My car is warm when the heat is on
But I'm going to roll the windows down
Till my hands are frozen to the wheel
'Cause I don't care about cold, I just care about you
When you're in my bucket seat
You can put on your favorite mp3
Pirated music for a pirate trip
We're going to give the whole world the slip
We'll take photographs and never
Pick them up when they're developed
We'll drive away knowing in some
One-hour photo someone's staring at us
When you're in my bucket seat
You can put on your favorite mp3
Pirated music for a pirate trip
We're going to give the whole world the slip
I only care about you
I only care about you
