Drive My Car

“Drive My Car,” is a song about an aspiring star who hires a chauffeur despite not owning a car. The aspiring star tells the prospective chauffeur that until she purchases a car he “can do something in between” and that she “can show [you] a better time”. This is sexually suggestive and the innuendo continues when the band sings, “Beep beep mmm, beep beep yeh!” It has been suggested that these lines are a sexual onomatopoeia, emulating the sound of two people having sex in a car; the space of the car, so small that they repeatedly bump into the horn and yell, "mmm" and “yeh,” expressing pleasure. This demonstrates mature subject material, but it is innocent because it is not blatant.

Far too late on the subject of this track, but I've dug up this quote from the Allmusic guide:

"While initially the song seems like the standard macho boasting of some guy showing off his car, it transpires that actually the girl in the song is leading the narrator on by half-hinting that she'll let him be her chauffeur, and maybe be his lover too."

I think this song is about sex. Sometimes sex is referred to as "riding" hence the lyrics "baby you can drive my car", and "Got no car, and it’s breaking my heart, but I’ve found a driver, that’s a start." The car is the penis and the driver is the man.

went to see the beatles:love in vegas last week it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

One of my guy friends played it while riding in the car with his girlfriend.

She didn't get the hint...

I think it's about people who want to be famous for the sake of it with no real talent or effort.

first song on rubber soul...yeahhhh.. whenever i listen to this song, i always wanna sing along to the "beep beep mm, beep beep yeh!" parts.

haha, yes! i love those parts. very cheerful song, and a nice little album overall.

Yes, I think this was one of their top 5 albums. A nice song to start the album off too.

Best song on Rubber Soul. One of the damn best songs they ever wrote. Has a bluesy flavor, it's very conversational, anecdotal- just the sort of thing you'd talk about down at the pub with the fellas.
