A Car Called A Go Go

Rate: 4 Flag

Why hasn't there ever been
a car called "A Go Go"?

What could be better?
what better logo?
than the logo of the car called "A Go Go"?

Much better than Flik or Zleck or the "Gee" Bus
or the X9-LZD or the Stuncheon Grand Calibre.

I want to tuffle down the road-o
in a car called "A Go Go".

(Goin' in "A Go Go"! Uh-huh, bay-bee!
Goin' in "A Go Go"! Yeah-ah!)

If you lived in the 60s u get this. And now that song is stuck in your head, too.

There was once a car called a "no go", as it was translated in Spanish (or so I read). I wasn't alive in the 60s but still appreciate the post. Thanks!

When I lived in Europe a friend had a car called the limon...

translation: lemon

I don't think it ever sold here!!

I like the A Go Go!

My daughter lived in Togo, West Africa and I always referred to it a Togo Agogo! Am I a product of the 60's or what??
