Car Songs.

Ok, so I'm itching for a new disc for driving and I'm at a loss for what songs to use(I'm burning a mixed disc). I used to have a "cruisin cd" that had a bunch car/driving related songs but I can't rememeber what was on it and that was before i started saving play lists.

So, I'm looking for imput on what tracks to use. So far I'm only sure about one song, Little Duece Coupe by the beach boys. I just LOVE that song :) So what say ye fellow gear heads, what are some good car/driving songs?

well theres the classics like...

"409" by The Beach Boys

"Little Deuce Coupe" by The Beach Boys (which you know)

"Shut Down" by The Beach Boys

"The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by Jan and Dean

"Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean

"GTO" by Ronny and the Daytonas

"Hey Little Cobra" by The Rip Chords


More Modern Stuff like...

"Rock N Roll" by Led Zepplin (Cadillacs anybody?)

"Black Dog" by Led Zepplin

"Highway to Hell" by AD/DC

Many Metallica songs but the two that come to mind...
"Turn the Page" by Metallica/Bob Segar (You choose whos verion you prefer)

"Fuel" by Metallica (This song can be thought of as the Racing song... or can be thought of as a person caught up in drug addiction.)

"Baracuda" by Heart (Can you put up a drum beat like that? Not likely)

"Bad Company" by Bad Company

"Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden (Best opening to any game ever: Road Rash for Playstation)

"Thunder Kiss 65" by White Zombie (:ylsuper)

"Bad Habbit" by Offspring (This song alone makes me want to drive over Lakewood Country Club's lawn... And it has... on more than one occasion!)

"Vote with a Bullet" by Corrosion of Conformity (:ylsuper)

I could go on but i'll stop haha... but ask anybody who's ridden with me... theres always good tunes going.

Put on an italian opera station and crank it up real high, haha and watch as people next to you look at you in a strange way.

low rider " All my friends have a low rider do do......." sorry:D thats such a great song

i was gonna say low rider tooo...

there is a new song called Fast Cars...its by Craig David though..so its kinda ...how do i put this...poppy ?? but its not as bad as those insink fools. Its kinda cool..the sound effects are cool too check it out

Jim Crow - Hot Wheels

Jimi Hendrix - Turbo lover

Tupac - Pain

"rollin down the freeway swer-vin"

sick ass song

Redneck you got an awesome taste in music...

if the car is black I would say definitely put Back in Black by AC/DC on there...

also Cars by Fear Factory, Thunder Road and/or Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

oh man, you guys missed a couple classics:

Eddie Rabbit - Driving My Life Away
Commander Codie - Hot Rod Lincoln
The Playmates - Beep Beep

...and of course
Jerry Reed - East Bound And Down

haha thank you


oo those are good too!

Here's some of my picks. There's others of course, I'll probably mention them later, but here's what comes to mind.

Radar Love: Golden Earring
Bohemian Rhapsody, Hammer to Fall, Stone Cold Crazy, We Will Rock You/ We Are the Champons double a-side: Queen
Don't Look Back: Boston
Locomotive Breath: Jethro Tull
Karn Evil #9: Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

and the whole soundtrack from Initial D!!!!!:angel:

I'm glad someone decided to list that. I could go on for miles of great driving songs, but I won't. I will say this, I miss my MP3 deck. :(

Hagar's "I cant drive 55" should be an essential piece of driving music.

Anything by George Thorogood and the Destroyers.

Supercharge by White Zombie, Road to Ruin by Soil, hell, anything by Soil, ACDC's Hells Bells and Thunderstruck...

Sex Type Thing by STP, I have that song stuck in my head from repeated endurance races in the original Gran Turismo for playstation.

Oh I almost forgot!

Slow Ride by Foghat. If theres a better song for cruising, I haven't heard it.

I'm with DeVil on the italian opera on full blast. Country or a spanish station works well too "AAAAAAAIIIIIIEIIIEEEEHAAAAAAHAAAAAAHIIIEEEEEEEE!!! !":D :D

oh yeah, I almost forgot: "Speed" by Atari Teenage Riot. If that song doesn't get you in the mood, I don't know what does.

BEST CRUISING SONGS EVER!!!


1. Family Affair by Mary J. Blige...nothing better then a groovin R&B

2. Mr. Jones by Counting Crows...best song for late at night on the highway baby!

3. Anything by the Chipmunks...intimidation is the key!

4. Boys in the Bright White Sportscar by Trooper is my latest one...me and my white Bonneville!!

5. Here's one for TV...'fun fun fun til Daddy takes the T-Bird away...:hehehe:

6. This may be a weird one, but instrumental...you'd be surprised how calm and relaxed you are while driving 150km/h with Beethoven on the stereo!

Hope that helps! :)

Yes, if you ever want to calm your nerves after a race or a near-accident, there is nothing quite like "Moonlight Sonata"

i think the best sonf to rally to is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin.. its so long.. yet great.

that way if you crash and die... people can say..

"dude when they found the car 2 days later.. Stairway was still playin on the radio.. "

"whooaa.. rocked on till the very end..."

"excellent!! bleeelleleeluuuuu" (remember bill and ted?)

hahaah

HAHA Redneck not bad at all.


street_racer_00...moonlight sonata after a hell of a near accident isn't nice on the radio, it's better to play when you get home. After something like that, it's best to play something somber with a good sound. My best example would be the chorus of Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen.

That's just me though, whatever floats your boat eh!!

:D

Okay, let me help you out. I've seen a lot of great songs here, and a few I've never heard of, but here are a few of the ultimate racing, and cruisin' songs.

Racing: Ready Steady Go- Paul Oakenfold
The theme from Mission Impossible
The theme from Mortal Kombat
The remixed theme to Speed Racer.

Crusin: The Distance- Cake
Long line of cars- Cake
What is it... lil' red chevelle?

Well, don't have too much fuin with that speed racer one. (aphex twin remix)

Fun......sorry.

but then again, now that I looked at the dates, that CD is long burned, scratched, and thrown away by now. Oops

Get a good stereo system, good base and extra clear highs...then pop in the darkness and play "I beleive in a thing called love" now that will make you drive fast... i dont know wether is tis trying to get away form the queerness or if the high pitch non manly screams make your body clench with agony and your right quad tightens up which extends your right foot forward...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

seriously though, get some bass going on and then crank up "smack my b*tch up" by the prodigy. Metallica is always good, but then again I loves my rnb and rap as well.

i realize this cd has probably been burned already, but i think this is a great thread to keep up because we all have cd's in our cars and always want new ideas for cd's... so i've got a few from different genra's i'd like to share..

no breaks - offspring
peel off - jin
lane to lane - young bloodz
bad moon rising - ccr (or the rancid cover of it)
only the good die young - me first and the gimmie gimmies

there's more but let's keep this one going... i'm jotting the previous songs down on my wordpad and going to make a "AF Cruzin Collection" cd.

My cruisin mix

Fuel
Can't drive 55
We aint hard to find
Can't see me
The Sickness
Chop Suey
Hey Driver
Take it Easy
Send The Pain Below
Click Click Boom

All these make up one of my mix cd's

this is a good one >>> move bi*ch, by ludacris so the slow people will move out of your way :iceslolan

and the whole soundtrack from Initial D!!!!!

Excellent driving music. That's all I listen to when I'm in a racing mood. Otherwise, I either turn it off or put it on a rap station (good cruising music).

i just thought of a good one also

1. J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva) - (with Green Day)

some other good songs i listen to

outkast-bombs over bagdad
alice deejay-elements of life
lil flip and david baner-like a pimp
JIn-peel off
pitbull-oye
ludachris-act a fool
lil flip-rollein on 20's
TI-24's
TI-rubberband man
linken park songs are good too.
these songs will def get u in the mood at the line

I don't think I'm the only driver on here who just listens to..

whooooooooossssshhhh

how about the "rollin in my six foh" song by dr dre. 90's rap is way better than todays.

The new black betty by spider bait,
Awsome mate

Any Total Science sets..

or just some Visions of Ghandi by Jedi Mind Tricks, along with some Slick Rick

Im goin in a more hip-hop direction for good music

Diamonds is forever - Jay Z (racing)
In the wind - Trick Daddy (cruising)
Lets get retarted - BEP
Lose yourself - Eminem

and if you wanna do interprative dance with ppl while driving... Space Oddity by David Bowie...

Throw a few songs from the doors on there too, you can't lose with those keyboard solos.

And I'm surprised you guys left this one out...Will Smith - You Saw My Blinker Bitch

breakbeats.

especially the old school ones.

Like james brown and dennis coffey.

anything by Linkin Park. especially "Faint", "One Step Closer", or "Breaking the Habit". "Supermoves" by Overseer (from the Animatrix). those usually get me going!

:2 cents:

You guys have missed a great cruise song, Cheap Sunglasses by ZZ Top!! I must say though, there is one song that takes the cake. I played it full blast while cruising last night and got a whole lot of mixed looks.

Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy - Big and Rich

I must say though I've heard the greastest songs ever made named in this thread. Radar Love, every single time I hear that song I either want to race somebody, or if nobody's around I hit the gas and speed like crazy.

Here are two I just remembered that are great as well.

Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
Start Me Up - Rolling Stones

dire straits-sultans of swing

anything by Linkin Park. especially "Faint", "One Step Closer", or "Breaking the Habit". "Supermoves" by Overseer (from the Animatrix). those usually get me going!

:2 cents:



i cant agree more :biggrin: :worshippy

And you just have to play this song when you win a good race

Big Balls- AC/DC

Amazing, I even forgot this one when we started this thread, but no one has mentioned Highway Star by Deep Purple.

C'mon.....

Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, it's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh it's a killing machine it's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires everything

I love it and I need it I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Allright hold tight. I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl she stays close on every bend
Ooh she's a killing machine she's got everything
Like a moving mouth, body control and everything

I Love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah she turns me on
Allright hold tight I'm a highway star

Solo:

Nobody gonna take my head I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head now that I'm on the road again
Ooh I'm in heaven again I'v got everything
Like a moving ground, throttle control and everything

I love it, I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Allright hold tight I'm a highway star

Solo:

Nobody gonna take my car....

I'm a highway star, I'm a highway star
