Check out the washing machine song by John Hartford. It's about his new automatic washing machine, but it's too quiet & he misses the old one. cool song.

In the song "America" from West Side Story, one of the women sings that she is going to get a washing machine. |

In the song Mr. Mom, Montgomery Gentry sings about a Maytag dryer. |

Great songs i am sure but i have never heard them myself. do these songs count????? Vic Reeves and the Wonder Stuff DIZZY the video to this song had a massive wall made out of washing machines and tumble dryers. scrap ones, if you look closely you can see quite a few purple and early brown hotpoints. The Pointer Sisters AUTOMATIC if you listen to the words you could associate this song with washers, she says about getting her motor running and her circuitry, not to mention being like a robot at your every whim. Funnily too the synthetic pop noises in this song before the last verse are what i think a talking Servis Quartz would sound like talking its own language! ironically this song was also recorded in 1983 so maybe it was about a Quartz or am i cracking up? and who could forget Pete Burns....... "yOu SpIn Me RigHT RoUNd Baby RIGHt Round LiKE a ReCoRd PLayer RigHT ROund" lol Nick |

In "Little Shop of Horrors" Audrey sings while daydreaming of marrying Seymour that she wants a washer and dryer and an ironing machine. In the film version, she is paging through a magazine with a Maytag w/d ad... CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

Hi, sorry to bring this up but I wondered if anyone recognised this washer in a Steps video from around 1998. It's certainly nothing that I've ever seen before.
