Jerry,

I never associated LZ with Cadillac - still can't.

Actually, considering the current plight of GM, maybe they should consider either of the following:

Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
Brother can you spare a dime.

What was that old song (i was very young, but it was popular with my parents generation...)

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let for 50 cent
No pool, no (something), no pets
Ain't got no cigarettes.

I can't even remember who sang it, but it was a real cry in your beer kinda song. And for all the youngsters, when it says rooms to let for 50 cent, that didn't mean there was a vacancy for a rapper!

"No phone, no pool, no pets..."
Roger Miller, "King of the Road."
Also remembered for "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd."

(something) = pool. It was King of the Road, sung by Roger Miller.

Dean martin also does a wonderful rendition of that song.

Great, you guys - now the song is cycling through my head.

I'm a man of means, by no means.....

Don't forget the imortal classic "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight"

Or maybe you prefered "May the Bird of Paridise Fly Up Your Nose"

Don't necessarily think this one was wrong but it was certainly an interesting choice of song - Venus in Furs by the Velvet Underground to advertise Goodyear tyres about ten years ago in the UK. Why anybody would think of using a song about sado-machoism to advertise tyres is a bit beyond me but I was good to hear it on the TV
