On That Note: Mr. Machinery Operator

[cyclones500]

This week, loosely in connection with harvest season, we’re focusing on the word “machine” and its extensions, in title or lyrics.

Also seeking references to specific heavy equipment. Generic car/truck citation is NOT sufficient in itself, it must involve some kind of work task.

“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500

• Last week’s OTN: Sundown, You Better Take Care

I'll get us moving & hauling with this track:

“I need a steam shovel, mama, to keep away the dead / I need a dump truck, baby, to unload my head.”

 

[MeanDean]

Becomes part of the machine

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you

 

[MeanDean]

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must've been about 17

 

[MeanDean]

It's a clean machine

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

 

[cyclones500]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine

 

[Fishhead]

Obvious one

 

[MeanDean]

Boppin' to the juke machine
Craziest cat you ever seen

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Beat the machine that works in your head

 

[MeanDean]

 

[cyclones500]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Eats dollar bills
Goldfoot's machine

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Ah, can't you see me standin' here?
I've got my back against the record machine

It's harvest season so I consider combines and tractors would qualify as heavy machines









Also going to include 1 about an 18 wheeler as I consider driving a big rig relevant to this topic as well
