I've got one, sung to the tune of Wild Rover, by The Dubliners. 
 

"I've owned a Land Rover for many's the year
And I've spent all me money on oil and gear
But now I'm returning to the auto parts store 
And I never will own a Land Rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more 
Will I own a Land Rover
No, never no more

I went into an garage I used to frequent
And I told the mechanic me money was spent
I asked him for credit, he answered me "nay"
"Such a vehicle as yours I don't want every day"

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
 Will I own a Land Rover
No, never no more

I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the mechanic's eyes opened wide with the fright. 
He says "I have clutches and bolts of the best"
And the words that I told you were only in jest

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more 
 Will I own a Land Rover
No, never no more

I'll home to my parents, confess what I'd done
And I'll ask them to pardon their ignorant son
And when they've oppressed me as ofttimes before
I never will own a Land Rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more 
Will I own a Land Rover
No, never no more

And it's no, nay, never..."

And if you a lubber of land rovers please don't take offense. It was just what fit the song.

Well, the song got a couple of thumbs up. Maybe that got a couple of chuckles. I really thought with all of you guys that are into music, there would be more participation here. That's OK. At least I got what was in my brain off my brain and onto some form of media

Got silly one day and penned this about my Corolla FX16 GT-S

My Corolla (Sharona) by the Knack

Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one
When you gonna give me some speed, Corolla
Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
Got it coming off the line, Corolla

Never gonna lift, make it turn, such a crazy spin,
I always hook it up, for the feel of the Rival S’

My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!

M-m-m-my Corolla

Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?


Close enough to tap a py-lon, Corolla
You’re just so slippery, hook up for me
Running down the length of the straight, Corolla

Never gonna lift, make it turn, such a crazy spin
I always hook it up, for the feel of the Rival S’

My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!

M-m-m-my Corolla

M-m-m-my Corolla

When you gonna give to me, some speed for me
Is it just a matter of PAX, Corolla?
Is it f-f-futility, f-futility
Or is it just a game to find time, Corolla?
 

Never gonna lift, make it turn, such a crazy spin
I always hook it up, for the feel of the Rival S’

My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Corolla
M-m-m-my Corolla
M-m-m-my Corolla
M-m-m-my Corolla

Ooooooo-ohhh, my Corolla

Ooooooo-ohhh, my Corolla

I hurt my trans today

To see if I still peel

I focus on the launch

The only thing that's real

Third gear tears a hole

Through the box case

Killed it all away

 it's spilt out everything

What have I become

Not Grannie shifting?

Everyone I know

E Series swaps anyway

And you could have it all

My empire of boost

I will blow you up

I will make you hurt

I wear this welded diff

Upon my garage chair

Full of broken G series

I cannot repair

Beneath the stained timeslips

The pedal feel disappears

You're a box of neutrals

I am still right here

The smell of burnt fluid

My sweetest smell?

Everyone I know

E Series swaps anyway

And you could have it all

My empire of boost

I will blow you up

I will make you hurt

If I could start again

A million miles ago

I'd go dogbox

I would find a way

I used to sing this while I worked on my Fiat:

"Ruuuuust in the wind. All Fiats are rust in the wind."

Don't stop now Vajingo, I laughed till I hurt and then shared it with a bunch of people I know. I would love to contribute but I'm about as musical as a Japanese gearbox with stuffed synchro's ...
