Boasting perhaps the most quintessentially English beginning to any song, Madness's 'Driving In My Car' brings to mind the opening credits of classic British '70s TV sitcom Are You Being Served. The stand-alone single came out in 1982, spending eight weeks in the UK chart and peaking at #4. The song documents the joys and tribulations of driving in the Maddiemobile, the 1958 Morris Minor featured here.

Lyrics:
I've been driving in my car
It's not quite a Jaguar
I bought it in Primrose Hill
From a bloke from Brazil
It was made in fifty-nine
In a factory by the Tyne

It says Morris on the door
The GPO owned it before
I drive in it for my job
The governor calls me a slob
But I don't really care
Give me some gas and the open air

It's a bit old but it's mine
I mend it in my spare time
Just last week I changed the oil
The rocker valves and the coil
Just last week I changed the oil

Last week it went 'round the clock
I also heard a little knock
I dented somebody's fender
He learned not to park on a bender, ha ha ha

I've been driving in my car
And it don't look much but I've been far
I drive up to Muswell Hill
I've even been to Selsey Bill
I drove along the A45
I had her up to fifty-eight
This copper stopped me the other day
"You're mistaken, " what could I say?
The tires were a little worn
They were ok, I could have sworn
I like driving in my car
I'm satisfied I've got this far

I like driving in my car
It don't look much but I've been far
I like driving in my car
Even with a flat tire

I like driving in my car
It's not quite a Jaguar
I like driving in my car
I'm satisfied I've got this far
