Dashboard Hula Girl Shaking her Grass
Image by MikoFox
Back in the 80s my first T2 bus came with an 8-track cassette player and a tape of the Canadian band Lighthouse. Sunny Days, One Fine Morning, and 1849 got burned into my mind during three month on the road and made the bus fly like on high octane for some mysterious reason.
That was when Canada was still prosperous and gas was around 40 cents a liter.
The title is from a more modern tune:
"VW Van", Jake Owen
A bag of beef jerky sitting on a road map
Dashboard hula girl shaking her grass
Shotgun DJ, navigate the airwaves
Don’t know where we’re going or when we’re coming back
Who wants to ride? Who wants to roll?
Westbound, southbound, where the wind blows
Who needs a plan? Bring the whole fam
Load ’em all up in my VW van…
