The first song on 1965's Safety Soul album, 'Drive My Auto' reversed the traditional male child-girl roles in The Beatles' songs, presenting a tale of a gilt digger and wannabe star who wants a man equally a chauffeur and for sexual services.
Paul McCartney's first draft of the vocal featured a chorus based around the line, "You can buy me golden rings". He and John Lennon reworked the vocal with some difficulty, somewhen discarding the clichés and settling upon the thought of a headstrong adult female.
The lyrics were disastrous and I knew information technology… This is one of the songs where John and I came nearest to having a dry session. The lyrics I brought in were something to do with golden rings, which is always fatal. 'Rings' is fatal anyhow, 'rings' always rhymes with 'things' and I knew it was a bad idea. I came in and I said, 'These aren't good lyrics only it's a expert melody.' The melody was nice, the melody was there, I'd done the melody. Well, nosotros tried, and John couldn't retrieve of anything, and we tried and eventually information technology was, 'Oh let'south go out it, let's go off this one.' 'No, no. We tin practise it, we can do information technology.' So we had a break, maybe had a cigarette or a loving cup of tea, and so we came back to it, and somehow it became 'bulldoze my car' instead of 'gilded-en rings', and and so it was wonderful because this squeamish natural language-in-cheek idea came and of a sudden at that place was a girl there, the heroine of the story, and the story developed and had a little sting in the tail like 'Norwegian Wood' had, which was 'I actually haven't got a motorcar, merely when I become one you'll be a terrific chauffeur.'
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
The song contained clear sexual overtones, from the first verse's "You tin can practice something in between" to the suggestive promises of "a better time".
'Drive my machine' was an sometime blues euphemism for sex, so in the end all is revealed. Blackness humour crept in and saved the day. It wrote itself and so. I find that very often, one time you go the practiced idea, things write themselves.
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now
The arrangement was suggested past George Harrison, who had been listening to Otis Redding'south 'Respect', then a modest hit. Harrison suggested that the bass and guitar parts should play similar lines in an approximation of Redding's bass-heavy sound, resulting in one of The Beatles' most constructive performances of 1965.
I helped out such a lot in all the arrangements. At that place were a lot of tracks though where I played bass. Paul played lead guitar on 'Taxman', and he played guitar – a practiced part – on 'Drive My Motorcar'.
We laid the track because what Paul would do, if he's written a vocal, he'd learn all the parts for Paul then come up in the studio and say, 'Practice this.' He'd never give you the opportunity to come out with something. But on 'Drive My Car' I just played the line, which is actually like a lick off 'Respect', you know, the Otis Redding version – and I played that line on guitar and Paul laid that with me on bass. We laid the track downwards similar that. We played the lead function after top of it.
George Harrison, 1977

The 2006 album Love mixed 'Drive My Car' with extracts from 'The Discussion' and 'What Yous're Doing', together with guitar solo from 'Taxman' and horns from 'Savoy Truffle'.
In the studio
'Bulldoze My Machine' was recorded on 13 October 1965. The session began at 7pm and concluded at 12.15am – The Beatles' outset to end afterward midnight.
The grouping took some time to perfect the organisation for 'Bulldoze My Auto'. Although they recorded four takes of the rhythm track, only the terminal of these was complete.
The basic arrangement had Paul McCartney on bass guitar, George Harrison playing guitar – contradicting his Anthology recollections – John Lennon on tambourine, and Ringo Starr on drums. The group then overdubbed piano, lead guitar, piano and cowbell parts, forth with pb vocals by Lennon and McCartney, and bankroll vocals by Harrison.
