RIP Commander Cody. Thanks for everything! You added so much good fun to the music world.

That was one of the first records I ever bought, and I'm 62 now so I loved it back then. I still live it today😊

Pappy said "you're gonna drive me to drinking if you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln."

Whoever put this video together deserves an award! Well done!! Excellent vid for the song!!! Damn good of ya!!

I remember when this was a giant hit, i still love it. Rest in Peace Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen

Why does this bring back some good memories, I remember when it was originally done! God I'm getting old, what happened to the generation that wasn't supposed to get old?!

One of the best car songs of all time, and it sounds Clean here. Super.

Thank you for making an excellent video out of a really great song. I loved that song back in the day. I am 70 years old now and still love that song reminds me of my younger days and the things I did with my 69 427 Corvette. Amazing I am still alive. God must have a plan for me.

RIP Commander. You and your band The lost planet airmen were totally awesome.

When I was 19i bought lincoln mark8 with the 5.0 and I remember my dad driving it and singing the lyrics to this song after

What absolutely makes this version a killer, besides of course the amazing killer-level music, is the really clever understated vocal, makes you kinda lean in to listen. And then lets the song shake you like a hot dog with a wet towel! Woof forever dig this.

I bought this 45 rpm record in 1971, in a Circle K store in Tucson AZ. It was the 1st record I had ever bought, I was 9 years old. At that time Circle K had a big kiosk up front with ALL the weeks top 40 hits. I, being 9, didn"t care about any of those, but the title: "Hot Rod Lincoln". Caught my eye! BEST BUY, I ever made!

This was very popular when I was quite young. Rest in peace, Commander Cody.😟

I'm an old guy. I remember Charley Ryan's original version in which the Ford and the Mercury were setting the pace and the hot rod Lincoln had 12 cylinders.

Had the pleasure of seeing these guys many times. Even better, George and I knocked back quite a few shots of tequila.

Saw Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, Maria Muldaur and the Greatful Dead at the Hollywood Bowl (Just can't remember the year) Best concert I ever went to.

I fondly remember hearing this song being played on the radio in the mid 70,s, and as young boys my cousin and I would learn the lyrics word for word as we were riding in the car on the way to "Town" in rural Saskatchewan, many laughs, and good times, we thought the hot rod depicted in that song was the coolest thing ever, I still know the words today, thanks for posting!!

Ya know when the state cop that took my license 45 years ago said to me You belong on a race track kid... I didn't wait long... Even did the Craftsman Trucks which is where I wanted to stay if not for my nasty divorce and sticky stuff... By age 37 I have 5 Northeastern Modified Championships and never looked back even after the trucks.. Those were greatest days of my life... I want to be 16 all over again

This brought back memories of my misspent youth.

commander Cody not well known here in the UK but due to youtube i look forward to hearing much more of there music

This is a very good compilation that goes very well with the music!! Thankyou!

I saw Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen live ... I think it was 1970 Happy trails

doesn't get any better than this!

My father loved this song because it reminded him of his stock car racing and drag racing days!

This is one of Our favorite R😎 CK and R 😎 LL hits , 🔥🚙 🎼🎼🎶🎶🎹🥁🎸🎹 Great memories of iconic American bands ♥️🇺🇸♥️

I’m 19 and I love to play this song while driving my Chevy

A guy has just got to come back to these old classics once in awhile. As I get to the point were driving is just the thing I do to get my prescriptions and a six pack of cheap beer and maybe a some jalapeno poppers. Hey there are all kinds of addictions. Don't Judge... Any songs like this take me back to the old days when I owned a V8 Chevy Vega, which I traded up for a VW Beetle.

A true classic. 👍the Reverend Horton Heat an awesome rockabilly cover. ❤

RIP George, thanks for the entertainment! 💛🎶🎸

Haven’t heard this since grade school .. had the 45

This is my all time favorite song. Bar none.

another lost am radio classic remember it well as kid, one reason why I learned and worked on cars and trucks in my teens and 20's)!! at a junkyard and got paid as well! got free cars,gas, and met my wife there, went too college later!

Hot damn, I love this song!

"Hot Rod Lincoln" was a huge hit when I was in high school. Especially since I lived in Michigan and Commander Cody was a Michigan band. It wasn't until decades later I found out it was a 1950s song that they covered. Not realizing the history, we never understood how a Lincoln, huge four door sedans at the time, could be a hot rod.

Reminds me of me and my little brother. Only difference we were buying old cop cars at the city auction. Cop motor cop transmission you get the picture. It’s a wonder we are still alive. We raised so much hell some 50 years ago. Damn that was so much fun. 😎🇺🇸

Buddy of mine had a 69 or 70 Olds 442, I recall hitting 130 on some 2 lane straightaways back in early 70's. We deserved to die... but didn't and now I'm reminded of those times by this song!

Was in JHS Wen this sonv came out. Fond Memories, Gravesend Bklyn, Mini Bikes, Great Food, Hottt Lookin Babes & GREAT Music! God Bless...😊

My dad and my uncle used to take me to the Demolition Derby at Gardena Raceway by the time I was 2 or 3. We always had such a blast! It's been gone a long time now, but once I could drive, my friend and I would go to faithfully to the NHRAs. I have always loved cars, and got the biggest rush out of watching top fuel and funny cars. I saw ALL the greats race! Guess I'm giving away my age here, but I'm glad I'm old now because it means I lived through some of the greatest times ever!!

what a great old song....rock on kids...life is good

I think that this is one of the best songs ever written!

"...telephone poles looked like a picket fence" says it all.

Love this song.

Theme for anyone whos raced on the roads lol

Damn when you could have fun with cars,music and Life really RIP CC

Nice job on the video thanks for posting

great song,

Man, what a great video edit! Super enjoyable!!!

Brilliant video! 👍👍

im 63 heard this in 69 when i was 6 from my buddy older brother .. i didn't understand at the time why he wanted a Lincon motor .early gearhead even at 6 . then when I learned more I realized .they didn't have over counter race parts back then the kids would just swap out the old engines they came with like the model T s and put in newer engines..back in 58 or so the lincoln had the largest engine.. the 430 and belive it or not some came with 375hp and even had a tri-power 400hp very rare engine I didn't know they existed well the old model ts would weigh around 2650 lb some even lighter with 375-400 hp you would have had a very quick car back then the avg street car did 15s and the fastest in town prob did high 14s this hot rod lincion would have been king 13s easy ..

I had this song in my home on my 45 rpm seeberg jukebox

Remember watching this on the old black and white tv .

I have loved this song ever since it came out, and I I have loved this song ever since it came out, and I never knew there was a video associated with it. Very cool! Thanks for posting it!

I love how the tires are good but the brakes are only fair!

Oh to live them times again!!! Yes Dad left me in Jail.

Was in my Spotify discover weekly now I can’t stop listening

Gawd help me, I remember when this came out.

This song fits right now in this time, same as it did first time around...

I was stationed in England in 75 and used to put my speakers in the window and play this. 🤣✌️🇺🇲

this boomer says: "Now that's real music!".

I had this record, it's a great version of the original.

college song........brins back fond memories

Terrific job! A lot of fun.

When he says "Boys that's the "marque" for me", he's talking about the brand. Incidently, at the time, "Lincoln" was FoMoCo's "Cadillac"

Reading all the comments. Folks,and all the people that love music,and badass vehicles. It will always remain the best unfortunately it's not probably going to be like the first time you heard it.sing it proudly as you hit the gas in your clunker. I will. Even in a nitro.

Cool song , Good video.

Been there. Now the boys all thought I had lost my sense.... And the guy beside me was white as a ghost....

Awesome!

Bought this in the early 70S !

me and my grandpa are actually building a 1926 ford. custom frame, 300 six, 3 speed. prob 150hp but more torque than a 12v cummins

My grandfather wrote this song.

Something reminded me of this song, so I looked it up on YT to hear it. I always thought it was a mid to late 60’s song. Like Boy Named Sue.

🐸🍿sounds just as cool as it did back in '72🎶📻

God bless Mr Ford 🙏 ♥ 🙌

This would be my dad in his younger years (He'd be 102 now if still here)! He was a race car driver in the 40's & 50's. Very interesting and scary!

I remember it well as a child of the '50s and '60s, this song was a precursor to the great hot car songs of the early mid '60s... Before Ford and Chevy really kicked off the horsepower race in '55/'56, the most impressive muscle motors were the early '50s OHV V8s of Lincoln, Caddy, and Olds. Big, back in that day, was around 300 cu.inches, my dad had a '53 Olds 98 with the 303 "Rocket V8" engine, which at the time was hot sh!t compared to the average flathead six... Great memories of a very special time... Cheers

I'm still listening and I'm 66 myself

There are car songs, there are highway songs. And then there is this. By the way, nice job on the video.

My pop's would always say you're driving me to drinking, David , you stole my Hot rod Lincoln again, , the Mark 2 ,1958 was a great car, So fast , nobody could pass, 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸‼️♦️♦️♦️

Love the beat of drum Awesome

This was for real ❤

A snippet from "Yankee Doodle Dandy"! I didn't expect that.

So good

Saw the band at North Texas State University in 1973

" WHERE THE FORDS AND LINCOLNS WERE SETTING THE PACE!"

This is actually a good compilation of clips.

Very well edited.

Dig that crazy buggy! Must be the devil in the driver’s seat. It’s like he doesn’t care about anything but winning.

I Miss my Hot Rod 1997 Lincoln Mark VĪĪĪ LSC.😢

Such a good cover of the Charlie Ryan original that most people don't even remember the original.

Hot Rod Lincoln Indeed 98 4.6 Town car Cartier edition 👌 a cop car in dugise awesome song 🎵 about a great automobile 🚘

Still a classic!

Wow if you survived

But here is the storytellers everywhere and frankly, I think a lot of you guys and gals are true. Tell us respectfully, Dr adam. Commonwealth State of Keystone State and also the Aloha here I am and I support you in your story telling mission. please don’t drive drunk on my on anyone’s behalf, but also, please remember to stay awake behind the wheel, because my own father warned me that sleepless sleepiness, and I mean sleepiness is possibly harmful to the driver of the vehicles

Love this

This is a truly great song, one for the record books! By the way, does anybody remember "Transfusion"?

Bill Kirchen picks it flawlessly!

Great music.

The Royal Guardsmen actually had 3 Snoopy and Red Baron songs. 1966 Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, 1967 The Return of the Red Baron, and my favorite, 1967 Snoopy’s Christmas.

You need to drive up the Grapevine to really appreciate this!
