Steve McQueen en chansons

Annotation :

1971

The revolution will be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and
will not star Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal

1973

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, you and me we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the silver screen
Honey, I'm open to anythin'
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'm makin' bets that you gonna get
John Wayne before he dies



Référence à la rencontre de Steve McQueen avec l'actrice Ali McGraw lors du tournage de The Getaway, qui deviendra sa seconde épouse.

1973

Middle-aged bankers crack their backs and wish they were young and in their teens,
Lonely spinsters dream of dating Roger Moore or Steve McQueen.
Health fanatics in their attics training for the Empire Games,
School boys dream of Captain Scarlet, battle ships and aeroplanes.

1974

Is this what you wanted...
You were Marlon Brando
I was Steve Mcqueen
You were k.y. jelly
I was vaseline

Annotation :

1975

You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar
It's so bizarre you think you are
The new kind of James Dean
But the only thing I've ever seen of you
Was a commercial spot on the screen

Movie Star, Movie Star, ahahar
You think you are a Movie? Movie Star, Movie Star, ahahar
You think you are a Movie? Star, ahahar

1983

Voglio una vita spericolata
Voglio una vita come quelle dei film
Voglio una vita esagerata
Voglio una vita come Steve McQueen
Voglio una vita che non è mai tardi
Di quelle che non dormi mai
Voglio una vita, la voglio piena di guai

Annotation :

1989

I feel like Steve McQueen, a Former movie star
Looked in the rear view mirror seen the police car
Ballantine quarts with the puzzle on the cap
I couldn't help to notice I was caught in a speed trap
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, on the run from Dirty Harry
Stash the cash in the dash, but my gun I did carry

Annotation :

1989

Run to the scene, I beg ya run to the scene
Run to the scene, fly go like Steve McQueen, huh huh huh!
Run to the scene, I beg ya run to the scene
Run to the scene, and check that washing machine

Annotation :

1993

There is peace in losing control
When I die I don't want to go to Heaven
I just want to drive my beautiful machine
Up north on some Sonoma County road
With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen all the boys be singin', singin'
Sweet old racin' car of mine
Roarin' down that broken line
I never felt so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Is too low to fly
Too young to die
Just a little bit too young
Too young
To die

Annotation :

1993

Big man, big hands
Strong back, strong mind
Golden glove, at 16
Good looking like Steve McQueen
I'm dumb, He's mad
I push to fight
He says, "Let's go"
I said, "All right"
Hey, I said, "Okay"



Pour l'anecdote, même si McQueen ne joue pas dedans, la chanson fait de nombreuses références au film Cool Hand Luke avec Paul Newman.

Hollywood is under me
I'm Martin Sheen
I'm Steve McQueen
I'm Jimmy Dean

Hauled ass to Memphis, I spoke to the Pharaoh
He told me his dreams, I counted the sparrows
Steve McQueen got nothing on me
I'll take you back west of Pleiades

Steve McQueen Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone mother scratcher on the silver screen

I'd drive real fast everywhere no one would ever catch me
And I'd kick your ass if you pissed me off so be careful what you ask me
And I'd never have an empty bottle or an empty bed
And as cool as Paul Newman is I bet Steve could whup his head

Steve McQueen

Bullet was my favorite movie that I'd ever seen
I totaled my go-cart trying to imitate that chase scene
That Duster had six hubcaps, know what I mean
And I love the way they all flew off when it landed in that ravine

Steve McQueen

I really loved The Getaway back when I was eight
That pussy Alec Baldwin sucked in the remake
And speaking of pussy, I guess Steve got it all
He fucked Faye Dunaway and he fucked Ali McGraw

Steve McQueen Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen Steve McQueen
The coolest goddamn mothefucker on the silver screen
(Yee-haw)

I went to see The Hunter on my first date
The Hunter was the last movie Steve McQueen lived to make
They took my drivers license when I was just sixteen
The year Mesothelioma killed Steve McQueen

2001

I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed
I wish that I was still fifteen
Debbie Harry and Steve McQueen
I found the angel in my dream
Sucked her dry and I cut her wing
L.A. food store cabinet

Annotation :

2002

I'm lost in a cloud and I can't get out
There's no other way, don't try

I'm caught in a car and I can't get out
I can't explain, I can't drive
Can't drive

Oscar Wilde and Peter Cooke close by
Sheik O'Rara and Steve McQueen, right there, oh yeah

Annotation :

2002

Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
And I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonight

I ain't takin' shit off no one
Baby that was yesterday
I'm an all American rebel
Making my big getaway
Yeah you know it's time
I gotta fly

Annotation :

2002

Jimmy Dean was riding next to me and Steve McQueen
And we're burning up the street now
And we're looking pretty mean
I'm not living in the past
And I'm not history
I'm here to set the records straight,
Unlock this mystery

Annotation :

2003

I got a brain in left-hand drive
I don't asleep other side
I ride a bullet like I'm Steve McQueen
Each town I intervene
A gram of kief and the barn is jumping
It's all right, we got time
Got a radio hit in mind
Can't see am I blind

Annotation :

2003

Steve McQueen, high school girls
Blow a kiss, sandy pearls
Bullet holes, hidden scars
Making love in a stolen car
Christmas is coming soon…

Annotation :

2004

Steve McQueen jumped the first one clean
But the great escape he'd tried to make was not to be.
Maybe next time Steve.

Annotation :

2004

See 'em on the big screen like Steve McQueen
Do something and never be back once he leaves the scene
Keep more medicated pads than Stridex
For his own side wreck with no known side effects

Annotation :

2004

And if I never live to see another day
Oh, I guess that have to be alright by me
How come we never say what it is that we want to say
Is this just another way to be mean

Mean, mean
Not Steve McQueen or free of worry

2005

There are cows and bees and nice trees
There are cows and bees and nice trees

I was in the country I was in the country
With Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen
Running after me

Annotation :

2006

In a bright red Porsche on Sunset I saw Steve McQueen
I guess he's just about the coolest guy I've ever seen
And for you and me that speeding car is how it's going to be
I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline

Annotation :

2006

Oh gorgeous thing
Fame is the new royalty
And your blood the richest blue I've seen
Oh well at least, it's between you and Steve McQueen

Annotation :

2007

À trop chercher, sans trouver mes racines,
Ta place dans mon film fut pour Steve McQueen

[...]

À trop chercher, sans trouver mes racines,
La star de mon film, ce fut Steve McQueen

[...]

Mon modèle et mon ami dans mon film,
Ce fut Steve McQueen.

I wanna sit right here, I'm gonna write you a letter
I wanna sail, I wanna sail over the ocean
I wanna talk to Best and Muhammad Ali
I don't just use my fists, yeah I use my feet
They got spirit, I got spirit
Oh mama mama mama it's like yellow earth
What was it like for you when you was giving birth
You got it in for you, I got it in for me
I said, why you always jump in places like Stevie McQueen?
I got spirit, come feel it
I got spirit, you can feel it
He got spirit, we gotta feel it
You got spirit, scream if you feel it

Annotation :

2008

I was a teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaping
I was a teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaped me

The engine was running but I couldn't get away
I didn't see any reason to stay
All my visions have been erased
Cast an extra with nothing to say

I wrote myself into a new storyline
This part was different this time it was mine
Now I'm lost in my own town
It seems like someone moved the streets around

Annotation :

2008

I ain't no Steve McQueen
I'm like a dead pop star in a magazine
I'm really one last loss in quarantine
With pro tools gutting up the hit machine

Annotation :

2008

Sixteen, I found my dream machine
Turn the key and every light turned green
Like Steve McQueen I made the motor scream
And it was loud, yeah

Me and the boys would drive around
We searched the dial until we found
One song we didn't want to turn down
And it was loud
