About this book
Take Me On A Buick Honeymoon (1922) Sheet Music
Author: Ben Black & Art Hickman
Year: 1922
“Take Me on a Buick Honeymoon” (1922) is a novelty popular song that blends early-1920s romantic songwriting with overt automobile advertising. The song features words by Ben Black and music by Art Hickman, and was published in 1922 by the Howard Automobile Company, with offices listed in San Francisco, Portland, Oakland, and Los Angeles. Written in a moderate tempo, the song playfully celebrates courtship, modern mobility, and the romance of the open road, framing marriage and travel through the aspirational imagery of the Buick automobile. The lyrics explicitly reference Buick branding, making the piece a notable example of early corporate-sponsored sheet music and cross-promotion between Tin Pan Alley–style songwriting and consumer culture. This item includes a complete scan of the original illustrated sheet music, featuring colorful cover art depicting a couple driving through a fantastical landscape, composer and lyricist portraits, visible Buick advertising copy, and a full vocal-piano score.
