The machine of a dream

June 05, 2004 at 09:36PM View BBCode

Roger Taylor penned the song "I'm In Love With My Car", and it was recorded by Queen as the B-side of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1975 and on the album "A Night at the Opera".

Question: who recorded the version of "I'm in Love With My Car" that can be heard on the latest Jaguar commercials? Is it the Queen version, or some other band? It doesn't sound like Queen, but I was never familiar with the song until Madison Avenue brought it back to hock Jags. If it's Queen, who's singing?

It's Roger Taylor singing instead of Freddie Mercury on that track, not a remake or anything. That should assuage all the ravenous intererst this has stirred up.

Hey don't you mean Roger Daltrey of the Who? I heard that commercial and thought it sounded like The Who...
I'm probably wrong here, but it sounded like Daltrey to my tone deaf eatr... Then again, I think I sound like Eddie Vedder at karaoke night, so I could very well be wrong

Oh, wait, never mind, I read your post wrong. It always throws me off when a drummer sings, because you're not really used to it. I didn't realize that Taylor wrote it and he was Queen's drummer until I posted that like a minute ago. Stupid me, but it does sound like Daltrey to my admitted tone-deaf ears!!!!!!!!!!

It does sound a bit like Daltrey somewhat. Your ears are vindicated.
