Song 71 ( Deep Purple - Space Truckin )

Well, this is the last song of the truck driving song theme week. I have posted songs about bootleggers, psychopath truck drivers, guys wanting not to be on the road/wanting to be with the ones they love, and ghost truckers. I thought it fitting to end the week in space with Deep Purple's Space Truckin'. I love the effect that they created by playing Jon Lord's Hammond organ through a distorted guitar amp; just awesome!
What is odd about this song is that it is very popular and yet has Sci-Fi lyrics, which almost never happens. In the song they talk about trucking and having fun across the galaxy and universe. Anyway, an excellent song to wrap up the truck driving week with.

Hear Space Truckin' on YouTube.
There are quite a few more live videos on YouTube as well.
