Auto-pop: Passionate and Fatal Connection between Car and Pop Music

Vol.3,No.2(2012)

Abstract
The subject of this paper is an analysis of automobile theme in pop music. Automobile overcomes its utilitarian function and becomes the subject of the desire, worship and social prestige more than other artefacts for everyday use. It is not extraordinary, that automobile also has entered music and we can find the automobile theme in many songs texts or video clips, where it appears in several key and recurrent levels. One particular chapter of this paper concerns how music influences driving or what automobiles music icons own. The end of this paper concerns some of music experiments with automobile, where it has function of music instrument.

Keywords:
automobile; music; songs texts; video clips; music icons
