Sup guys


As i said at dooley's I want to posibly make the ultimate driving CD. so if all of you guys could name your "1" fav/best driving song, that would be awesome. At the end of the tread I will put all the best songs on to one CD and if some of you guys want i can make you a copy.

ONLY PUT 1 SONG SO THINK ABOUT IT CAREFULLY AND PUT YOUR ONE SONG.

Golden Earring => Radar Love

I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love

 

one of the best under rated/ unknown songs

No Easy Way Out - Robert Tepper

 

"Red Barchetta" - Rush

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside

 

Jerry was a Race Car Driver - PRIMUS

 

You'll all think I'm a big turd, but my favorite is the remixed version of "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis. The main reason, of course, is because of that Top Gear video with the RX-8. I always want to spin the car around in circles when I hear it.

 

NickleBack, All the wrong reasons..... or anything off the ALL the Right Reasons CD
It just Rocks....gets me really pumped on the way to the gym.

 

All Initial D songs!

 

Led Zeppelin's Kashmir

 

NIN: Head Like A Hole...

 

Only one song? I was going to say anything Jamiroquai. But thought, what's a song that gets you revved and ready to zoom. So .... although i don't listen to hip hop ... my vote is for "50 Cent - In the Club"

Perfect to get you pumped before/during a workout, or for background music during a drive-by

 

OMG, theres sooooo many one songs. OMG , how can I pick just one?

How about ......... no, or ........... Um this one .......... and this one.........

Okay

Tenacious D. "Keilbasa Sausage."

I'll lend it to you if you don't for some reason already have it.

 

I'm In Love With My Car By Queen

The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin'
And the hub caps all gleam

When I'm holdin' your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hand's on your grease gun
Oh it's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin'
This is the end now
Cars don't talk back
They're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car
String back gloves in my automolove


Went to the ACC on Thursday night for the Queen and Paul Rodgers Concert and saw Roger Taylor perform the song- what a cool moment- still sens shivers up my spine.

Of course on occasion, I would just put in the Dannly Elfman Batman soundtrack and pretend I'm driving the Batmobile which in some ways it does resemble!

 

Forgot to mention that a new version of the song should have the rotary spinning rather than the pistons pumping in the revised lyrics!

 

Interstate Love Song, by Stone Temple Pilots.

 

"Move b!tch, get out the way ... " by Ludacris!

 

"The Distance" by CAKE.

p.s. - great thread

 

I second the motion on "Radar Love" by Golden Earing

Second choice is:

"Hot Rod Lincoln" by Commander Cody and and the Lost Planet Airmen

My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race
When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace?
That story is true, I'm here to say
I was drivin' that Model A

It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
That Model A Vitimix makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall

With a four-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
And four-eleven gears you can really get lost
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, tires fair

Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
The moon and the stars was shinin' bright
We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still

All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me!"
By then the tail light was all you could see

Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into overdrive

Wound it up to a hundred and ten
My speedometer said that I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
That's all there is and there ain't no more

Now, the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!"
The lines on the road just look like dots

Took a corner; sideswiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac.
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas?

We had flames comin' from out of the side
Feel the tension, Man! What a ride!
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'
And down in the dips she started to rockin'
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln!

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"

 

^ I 2nd dat yo!

 

Rob Dougan - Speed Me Towards Death

Cool song for gran touring.

 

Damn you beat me to it!!

:D

 

Damn, you beat me to it!
I like the irony in the lyrics, especially for the 8...."give me fuel , give me fire, give me that which I desire...."

I guess I'll go with Awake by Godsmack. Nice and crunchy

 

I Can't Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar

 

EVE 6 - Open Road Song.

Good beat and great lyrics.

2nd Choice

KRS-One - Still Spittin.
