My Mustang Ford - Chuck Berry

My Mustang Ford - Chuck Berry
2:16
Fresh Berry's, 1965
Written by Chuck Berry

One of rock's innumerable car songs, this one made fresh by Berry's dry wit: "I tried to stop in Indianapolis once, and had to back up from Terre Haute / But now I can slow and stop her with my windbreaker parachute."  Eat your heart out, little deuce coupe!  Is it one of Berry's finest songs?  No, it's pretty rote and features a standard, primitive Berry riff.  But it's fun!
