Favorite FUN songs for the car?

[hollywood926]

I am downloading songs for a new car CD. Got any fun, cheery, upbeat song ideas? So far I have "Rush Hour" by Jane Wiedlin. That's it. :-)

2. Bob Dylan - - Highway 61

Music (all the way down to the police siren / party whistle), lyrics... Good fun with a heavy dose of literary commentary.

5. Ain't Too Proud to Beg....The Temptations

Also, I love to drive to Aretha Franklin's Baby Without You. But I'm an old fart.

6. Ice Ice Baby or Cant Touch This!

About 2 years ago some friends & I were on our way out to partay. Since we're all children of the 80's we were BLASTING bad 80's music.
Those 2 songs came on & we were yelling the lyrics etc.
People were driving beside us giving the thumbs up, laughing, honking etc.

We also did a mean "Our Lips are Sealed"

7. The Car Talk guys have an extensive listing of songs about cars

in their College of Musicology: http://www.cartalk.com/content/musicology/

Personally, I have togo for Kathy Mattea singing "455 Rocket" or the Boss' "Pink Cadellac".

13. "Play That Funky Music, White Boy" by Wild Cherry
