Motor City (St. Louis Area Class Music Squad song)
Motor City is a legendary song by the St. Louis Area Class Music Squad. It is a musical tribute to the bustling city of Detroit, also known as the Motor City.
The song starts with a thumping beat that reminds you of the sound of an engine revving up, thanks to the skills of the band’s drummer, who is rumored to have a degree in automotive engineering. The bassist, too, does a fantastic job of keeping the rhythm going, just like how the smooth highways of Detroit keep cars moving.
The guitarist’s solos in Motor City are nothing short of breathtaking. They capture the essence of the Motor City’s vibrancy and energy, and you can’t help but let loose and dance to the music.
The lead vocalist, who has a voice as smooth as butter, sings about the joys of cruising down Woodward Avenue on a hot summer day, feeling the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. He also sings about the city’s rich automobile history, from the birth of the Ford Model T to the modern-day assembly lines of General Motors.
What makes Motor City truly unique is the song’s clever use of automotive sound effects. You can hear the screeching of tires, the revving of engines, and the clinking of chains, all of which add to the song’s charm.
Despite being a St. Louis band, the St. Louis Area Class Music Squad pays tribute to Detroit in the best way possible with Motor City. It’s a fun, upbeat song that celebrates the Motor City’s culture and its people. Listening to it is like taking a road trip to Detroit without ever leaving your home.
