What Are Some Great Road Trip Songs?

Radar Love

I’m Gonna Be by the Proclaimers
Fat-Bottomed Girls by Queen (really anything by them).
This Is Love by P.J. Harvey
The Hardest Button to Button The White Stripes

Is there any particular genre you want to include?

I’m going to shoot the first person to suggest 99 bottles of beer.

Well since there’s a death threat out on 99 bottles, I’m gonna suggest The Wheels on the Bus. =D

Boy howdy, @Trillian sure does know how to spoil a good time.

How about “This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friend…”

or how about “I know the song that everybody knows, everybody knows. I know the song that everybody knows, and this is how it goes.”

Or we could all say “Jake stole the cookie from the cookie jar…”
Really, you will need few CD’s.
Low Rider
Lemon
Discotheque
Whisper to a scream
Groove is in the heart
10001110101
Children of the sun
Superfreak
Fastlove
Roll with the changes
Styx (Yeah, not tellng you which one)

Go to you tube and start looking around. One song will reming you of six more.
I have all of these on one CD or another, I have quite the eclictic mix myself.

just because

When I drive, I don’t like to fall asleep.

Bulls on Parade
Touch Too Much
Gushy Stuff
Torquemada
Towards Loss

Listen to some Beatles.

Thanks all for some great suggestions. A few I’m unfamiliar with so some introductions to new bands/artists may come from this as well :)
99 Bottles of beer…..Wheels on the bus…...The song that never ends…... I think the irritation factor is a significant part of any appeal those hold. As it will just be me in the car, I would only be subjecting myself to the faster onset of frayed nerves! Maybe I will set them aside for any periods of self-loathing excessive driving may trigger!
@uberbatman I do not like all music but like something from virtually all genres. Love PJ Harvey. If I was to pick a favorite, it would be late 70’s early 80’s punk, but don’t know how conducive the Dead Kennedys and Iggy and the Stooges would be to maintaining energy and an “all I want to do is keep on driving” state of mind. I think, if dispersed, a good Clash or Buzzcocks song would give me a boost but too much would burn me out :) Some favorite bands are the Pixies, Liz Phair, Velvet Underground, Sebadoh, Pavement, Arcade Fire, and Bowie. I’m trying to think of good driving songs not from my usual repertoire so I don’t run into the so sick of the song feeling as quick!
