Ironically, Dave had a lot of trouble driving his car to Mike's porch to start recording this episode -- there was tons of road construction everywhere, plus end-of-summer traffic. Baby, you can't drive your own car (today)! Mike thinks Drive My Car is emotionally empty and of minimal lyrical effort - plus it sounds maybe a bit parodic of the Motown style the Beatles love and confess to frequently ripping off - but he does like the beep-beeps. Dave thinks Drive My Car is a cute song with some interesting flourishes like the sharp-5 seven chord (which is pretty cool when you think about it). By the time they're done performing it both of them are having a pretty fun time. If you listen carefully you might hear some thunder rolling in the distance.
