trivia question #1
 

in 1965 the Targa was introduced for the first time at an auto show.

what well known song was played for its introduction?

I'm probably wrong, but my first thought? Rolling Stones: I can't get no (satisfaction) :D

The Twist? ;) -- Curt

Sex Pistols singing "My Way"?

The Beatles "Day Tripper"

Yeah, I think it's "Day Tripper" too.

ROFL -you guys are killing me.

Yeah "Day Tripper". . .As, the anouncer states "the 911targa, a developement based from the popular Beetles"

OK, fine then. I'm switching my guess to: "The Lonely Goat Herd"
from "The Sound of Music"

High on a hill top, the lonely goat heard 'lady odelady odelayhee- hoo...... It just fits, doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Sing it Tyson. .

In an effort to confront the tail steer issues, and portay it as something quite fun they used;
"Round-round Round-round, I Get Around" -- The Beach Boys
:D

"Slip Sliding" by Paul Simon? Or was it Sir Mixalot's Grandfather with the original vintage version of "Baby Got Back"? :D

"Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole?

"Start It Up" didn't come out until the late '70's.

The song has to be from '65 or earlier.

Good Day Sunshine by the Beatles? Or how about, "I fixin a hole where the rain gets in."

in the journalists' flasbulb-thunderstorm at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in September 1965 : The 911 Targa, the world's first safety convertible was introduced to the tune of the new Stones hit,.....Satisfaction.

you win!!! pwd72




i had to pass that on, wouldn't it have been incredible to be there?

Close! That was at the introduction of the RSR...

"Stuttgart face wid an Oakland bootie"

Here's one for the Cayenne:

"My hooptie rollin', muffler draggin',
heater don't work and the girlfriend's naggin'..."

For the Cayenne I was thinking more along the lines of Nine Inch Nails "Head Like a Hole"

"Only the beginning, this is only the beginning..." by someone
