Octane decibels 5 – Road trip

The popularity of all kinds of road movies was also reflected in music. But that's nothing to be surprised about, when you have a car, you just go somewhere with it, like today's performers.

Lacquer – Behind

The song is essentially one continuous shot shot from behind a Chrysler Newport Convertible . Although, to be honest, the cuts are there. Otherwise, nothing much happens there, the driver drives around the United States and, when it starts to rain, pulls the roof over him. Halfway through the clip, he picks up a passenger with whom he takes turns driving. They also repair or wash the car together. And when they reach New York, the song ends.

Scooter – I'm your pusher

At the beginning, we see a crashed Citroën CX , from which the surviving driver climbs out. When he realizes that he is not well, he thinks about how to get away from the place. Fortunately, members of the band are driving by, who of course give him a ride. And so begins their road trip through the inhospitable wasteland. It is interesting that they let the hitchhiker stand by her fate. Although she doesn't look like she wants to ride. Then there's a Scot walking too, bagpipes in hand, but don't ask me why. Towards the end, they arrive at an impromptu club where the party begins. Here, of course, the piper gets in the way, but how, let yourself be surprised.

Spiderbait – Black Betty

Black Betty is originally an Afro-American work song, later covered by Ram Jam , Tom Jones or Spiderbait . You might be familiar with the latter version for sure, it appeared on the soundtrack of the computer game Need for Speed Underground 2 or in the movie Don't Drink and Paddle . And in the clip we will see footage from this film. Otherwise, there's a lot of modified Dodge from the 1930s racing down California roads. A band on a trailer will also go on a trip.

Aerosmith – Crazy

Said to be one of the most played clips of 1994. Well, we have no problem believing that. Alicia Silverstone starred in it, along with the band's frontman's daughter Liv Tyler . The girls run away from school, jump into a black Mustang Convertible and hit the road. When they happen to need to fill up, they abuse their appearance to avoid paying. And when there is no more to spare, they earn something in the pole dance competition. Then they meet a young tractor driver plowing and go for a bath. And do you think he braked the tractor? No, but wait until the end of the clip for the consequence.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Scar Tissue

And the Red Hoti will be the last to go on the trip. They can't resist a big American convertible either, but this time it's the Pontiac Catalina . Interestingly, it is driven by guitarist John Frusciante , who is said not to actually have a driver's license. But the plot is not really different there, they just drive across the wasteland in their shabby car.
