Dunno if it was my *first driving song but the one that still evokes early
driving memories is Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" from 1932.  I heard it
on the crystal set as I was cranking over my very first Model A.

"Brother, braaa-ther.
 We don't need to.....
 es-ca-late.
 War is not the an-
 saa-ah.
 For only laaa-ve
 can
 con-ka

 Ah-hAAAA
 You know we've got ta
 find a way.....
 to bring some
 [lovin']
 (unda-standin')
 [here today.]
 (hee-ah ta-day, ohhh.)"

I will never forget the way they sang two sets of words right there.  I knew
it was a 'mistake' but to me it was electrifying.
