Strange, I never read this thread before now. I stumbled across the FB link and loved it! Played it for my wife( not known to be a Vanagon kook) and she laughed the whole way through. When it was over she said "so thats why you want to sell the Westy and keep the Syncro" _________________ Imagine that, theres not an "h" in either Westfalia or Syncro?

Hey.
Iam a Vanagon driver from Germany.
Yesterday i found that great song at YouTube. But because my english is not verry good i just understand some parts of that song.
At the search of the lyrics to that song i found this page.
Maybe someone of you can please write down the lyrics of that song, so that is easier for me to translate it into the german language. He sings a little bit fast and unclear

Novelty. Those are terrible songs sans the original one that was posted. That "MommyDaddy" song was unlistenable. Sorry, man, but those songs aren't funny even in jest.bIf there is something that I am missing, please enlighten me. Thanks much!! _________________ Cars and Trucks.

Different strokes for different folks I guess... Some people like Coke some prefer Pepsi. I'm just digging the fact that other people dig the VW as much as we do...

I've done searching, can't find. Please help.
Does anyone know of the Car Talk song with the lyrics something like "its gotta be a vanagon again, gonna be a vanagon again..."?
This is an old thread, but deserves to be resurrected every once in a while.
This one is a bit of a stretch. It mentions a "good times van" and Lily drove here in a VW Bug (not a bus), but it's a good honky tonk song for the road trippin'. Good Times by Charlie Robison:
I can't believe that I spent so many years without the best theme song for my Vanagon, just glad to have it now. I already know all the words... and my girls are picking them up too. It's a good time to talk about "irony" and "artistic license."
I have found that the other song mentioned much earlier is their favorite. Pitch needs some work but it somehow sounds better in my van. Is that what they mean by correcting a song with "auto" tune? (Sorry, had to do that.)
