There was definitely at least a little LBC in that song! The car referred to
in "Beep, Beep!" was a "Nash-Rambler". The Nash-Rambler, (aka early AMC
Rambler aka Nash Metropolitan) had an MG B-Block engine (same basic engine as
the MGA, but lower compression and teeny-tiny little valves).
So it was kinda-sorta-an-LBC song.
