War - "Low Rider"
I heard the song while watching "Gone in 60 seconds" and it might be in the scene where Nicolas Cage's getting reading to boost cars for his little brother. One heck of a scene and I even have my own copy of the movie. Good thing there was a sale over at Trinoma and I was able to buy the original DVD version of the movie. Attaching additional from wikipedia.
Low Rider is a song written by the band War and appearing on their album Why Can't We Be Friends?, released in 1975. It reached number one on the Billboard R&B charts and peaked at number 7 on the Pop Singles chart.
According to the Allmusic review of the song, "the lyric takes the cool image of the low rider — the Chicano culture practice of hydraulically hot-rodding classic cars — and using innuendo, extends the image to a lifestyle."
The music video for the song consists of various pimpmobiles on a typical traffic suburban style street, showing two men each driving a pimpmobile. At one point, an animated version of the face of the album Why Can't We Be Friends is lip-synching as well as a man wearing a mask of the album's face. There are also scenes consisting of a driver showing off the album holding it out the window or on the windshield.
