Mustang Sally – Wilson Pickett

 

 

Mustang Sally, huh, ha
Guess you better slow your mustang down, oh Lord
What I said now
Mustang Sally now baby, oh Lord
Guess you better slow your mustang down, huh, oh yeah
You been running all over town now
Oh, guess I have to put your flat feet on the ground, huh
What I said now

 

Listen
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride) Huh
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride) Huh
All you want to do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride) Ha
All you want to do is ride around Sally, oh Lord (ride, Sally, ride)

 

I first heard Mustang Sally in the context of the film – The Commitments.  But the original popular version was done by Wilson Pickett. This was in the mid 60's.  I thought Wilson Pickett was a group but he was a solo singer.

The song is about Sally who just wants to ride around in her Ford Mustang. (I always thought it had an alternative smuttier meaning – who knew?)
