According to a story broken by the U.K. Guardian and subsequently reported in The States, big-shot director Michael Bay made sexpot actress Megan Fox wash his Ferrari as part of her audition for Transformers.
This touching bit of casting news makes us pause and ponder who, in the musical universe, could stand to wash our dashing Pastemobile—the one with the stolen radio and the scratched-up paint. These five artists seem especially well-suited to work a sponge and chamois cloth while we sip lemonade from a shaded lawn chair.
2. Jessica Simpson: After serving beer, inciting a barroom brawl, leading a line dance and squandering a Willie Nelson cameo, Simpson concludes her video for “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” by soaping up the General Lee.
3. Deerhunter: A friend once saw Manute Bol washing his car, and said that the 7’7” center bent down to reach the roof. Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox should be able to do the same.
4. Bruce Springsteen: Back in ’88, The Boss released a song called “Car Wash,” about working “at the Astrowash on Sunset and Vine.” Nope, totally not joking. All together now: “I work down at the car wash / For a dollar and a dime / And mister, I hate my boss / It’s at the car wash I’m doing my time.”
5. Rose Royce: Self-evident. I have no idea if this is the official video, but it’s worth watching regardless.

While I whole-heartedly agree with #2, I have to admit I was a bit surprised that Lenny was #1. I'm no Kravitz apologist mind you. I agree that the last two-thirds of his career has been deserving of some sort of punishment. However, take a look/listen to his first three albums and he's off the hook in my opinion.
