  1. Great movie – adult oriented one liners hilarious. Soundtrack sounds worth having. Will see it again as I really enjoy anything to do with cars -especially racing cars.

  2. Cracking movie.. loved it…. what was the tune one of the modded cars played to send mack the truck off to sleep?

  3. I loved it so much that i watched it twice and for some odd reason was able to memorize almost all the lines!!

    1. What was the song the modded cars were playing when racing down the freeway? I’ve been need to know it’s awesome… does anyone have ethe artist?

  4. finally a movie with a great lesson and without all the trash! We love all the details and different personalities!

  5. I would like to know what the bluegrass song is that’s playing while Doc is racing alone in the desert while McQueen watches. Any ideas?

  6. I was just trying to find out the same thing. That song isn’t listed on anything I’ve found and it’s not in the credits for the movie but I want to now what it is as well.

  7. It’s part of the Randy Newman score for “Cars.” The only compositions on the soundtrack that I know of that sound like bluegrass are portions of “New Road,” “Tractor Tipping” and “McQueen and Sally.” It’s all in the “Cars soundtrack,” along with the popular tunes by Sheryl Crow, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Chuck Berry and Hank Williams.

  8. This song that I want to know is not on the soundtrack. There are several songs in the movie that aren’t listed on anything.

  9. Did you ever find out about that bluegrass song? I have been trying to find out, too. Please let me know if you do
    THanks
    JK

  10. hey i want to know the same thing as monk what is that song called with the saxophone that mack falls asleep to

  11. It’s Songbird by Kenny G. Btw, the song DJ is playing before that bit is called Rollin’ In The Rearview, and I think it’s by Jabu Jabu. Just thought I’d clear that up for everyone. (Those punk cars RULE! Wingo is my favourite. ^_^)

PLEASE…if anyone knows let me know!! No I don’t have the movie…But, even if I did…I wouldnt know who is singing that. I have looked all over for it. PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you so much

  13. Why?several songs in Cars aren’t listed in Cars soundtrack? Can you (Ron) please explain to me and other Cars Soundtrack fans? The song that Wingo, Boost, DJ and SnotRod action is cool. Thanks to Joe and Candy. Hmm,Rollin in the rearview by Jabu…I’m gonna to find out.. Hello..(oops..it sounds like Sally’s words).

  14. I don’t why they didn’t put all of the songs on the soundtrack CD. But it’s actually common practice to not put everything from a film onto an album. Sometimes the record company holds a few back for a possible “sequel” soundtrack CD.

  15. does anyone know were to download the song “rollin’ in the Rear veiw” by Jabu…… the myspace page doesnt let u take it off…….would be a great help.thanks.

  16. The song Mack fell asleep to is ‘Songbird’ by Kenny G., not ‘Going Home’! Get the facts before putting them out!

  17. hey whats up yall this is JABU. its amazing to see how many people heard that short piece of “rollin… come by and check my band out sometime. OZOMATLI.com or ozomatli@myspace. thanks for the questions…JABU!

  18. My children and I have watched this movie over 50 times and we still enjoy it! The one-liners, moral, and storyline are fabulous. One of my sons, a 4 yr. old, is a “cars” fanatic. We’ve memorized so many of the lines of this movie–just for fun. Then the Matchbox character cars are a blast to play around with–available at Wal-Mart and online. Pixar has done a marvelous job with many of the movies. Thanks for such great family entertainment.
