A car song is a style of song with lyrics or musical themes pertaining to car travel. Though the earliest forms appeared in the 1900s, car songs emerged in full during the 1950s as part of rock and roll and car culture, but achieved their peak popularity in the West Coast of the United States during the 1960s with the emergence of hot rod rock as an outgrowth of the surf music scene. Though this popularity declined by the late 1960s, cars remain a frequently used subject matter in pop music into the 21st century.
In the turn of the twentieth century, the recent invention of the automobile began to appear within popular music. Many of the earliest pieces had no lyrics, instead attempting to musically emulate the sounds of the automobile, such as "The Motor Car" (1903) and "The Auto Race" (1904). Dance, ragtime, and march compositions began emerging that, though wordless, were musically inspired by the automobile. Eventually, some of these songs took on words, such as Henry Krull's "Automobile Races". In 1905, Gus Edwards premiered the song "In My Merry Oldsmobile", a tune which Kenneth T. Jackson calls "the best-known car song ever written about the automobile."

You could call me a car lover
'Cos I love it in a motor
And the way it feels
To ride around on new wheels.
I hardly know you
But I think I'm going to
Let's go siesta
In your Ford Fiesta
Here we go again
I'm riding in your car
Let me count to ten
'Cos it's gone way too far
Up my street to nowhere
You know what detours are
Here we go again
And it's gone way too far
Sometimes I just can't function
My heart's spaghetti junction
Every shining bonnet
Makes me think of my back on it.
I just can't escape the feeling
That I'd rather be free wheeling
In every little Honda
There may lurk a Peter Fonda, ho
Here we go again
I'm riding in your car
Let me count to ten
'Cos it's gone way too far
Up my street to nowhere
You know what detours are
Here we go again
And it's gone way too far
