The BEST car song not recorded by the Beach Boys

[Spitfirejoe]

I know it's more of a biker song, but "Born To Be Wild" has always been one of my faves.
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the Highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way...

Kung Fu Fighting. Top down 80mph song all day - I don't care where yer from. lol HA BOOM!

Electric Avenue (coincidental road reference) a close second.

Radar Love is surely the best "Driving Song" but it's not really a "Car Song"

Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys really sewed up that category but good.

Some of the songs in this thread have nothing to do with cars or driving.

I know they're not car songs per se, but you took all the good ones/

I may have missed it, but Vehicle - Ides of March (timely too) is a great "vehicle" song

 

[Bill Ferris]

Does Jeff Beck : "Freeway Jam" rate ?

 

[Archguy]

Not a car song but definitely a driving song. I searched the thread for "Explosions" first...

Hot little number of a song too, IMHO.
