"Beep Beep" is a novelty song by The Playmates. It describes an apparent competition between the drivers of a Cadillac and a Nash Rambler on the road, leading to a surprise revelation as to why the Rambler is racing the Cadillac. The song is an example of accelerando, in which the tempo of the song gradually increases throughout the song. ==Charts== The song was on the ''Billboard'' Top 40 charts for twelve weeks, and peaked at #4. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The Playmates appeared on the ''Milton Berle Show'' televised December 3, 1958, at the height of the song's popularity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Milton Berle and the Texaco Star Theatre )〕 Concurrently with this song, American Motors (AMC) was setting production and sales records for the Rambler models. The "Beep Beep" song was also popular with the workers building the Rambler cars on AMC's assembly lines in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Because of a directive by the BBC that songs not include brand names in their lyrics, a version of "Beep Beep" was recorded for the European market replacing the Cadillac and Nash Rambler with the generic terms limousine and bubble car. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beep Beep (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
