Self Preservation Society, obviously.

Teapot, why does a song about a Morris Minor make you think about Mnis?

U2, Beautiful Day, because the the first time I ever took Rupert out after I passed my test, it was a gorgeous sunny day so I decided to just drive in a random direction, and that was on the radio. Was a good day

[who_loves_the_mini?]

Phil Collins - Easy Lover. It was playing when we crashed.

[taffy1967]

My "Italian Job" soundtrack is a natural choice, but Something In The Air (1969) by Thunderclap Newman always makes me think of the Mini because that track was used for the 1989 Mini 30 LE TV advert that featured Twiggy i.e. "You Never Forget Your First Mini".

But the 1967 song "We Love You" by The Rolling Stones just seems to fit right, even though the original video (if that's what they called them back then) was about Oscar Wilde.

A lot of crazy Psychedelic songs from the late 1960's always brings the Mini to my mind and I used to love playing the last track on The Beatles album Revolver which was "Tomorrow Never Knows" whilst hurtling along in the Mini.

But a lot of Beatles classics seem to work too, just like this: -

The swinging 60's seem to go well with the Mini, but without wanting to sound morbid, classic T-Rex tracks like "Get It On" & "20th Century Boy" work well too.
