I'm amused, in perusing my iTunes, that I have 7 versions of "Hallelujah":
You need to get the John Cale version in there.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Did I miss Kraftwerk's "Autobahn"?

I'm pretty sure I have it on my laptop at home. I was surprised to not see it pop up on the list in my iTunes at work.

Road to Nowhere by Talking Heads is an absolute road trip must.

Song about a road trip. And I can get you a copy of that.

I can upload Stolen Car and No Cars go later this evening. I'll also upload Wicked and Weird by Buck65, another road trip song.

More songs that (at least kind of, sort of, maybe, partially) fit the theme, that I can provide, if necessary:
Gomez -- "Devil Will Ride"
Janis Joplin -- "Mercedes Benz"
Johnny Cash -- "One Piece At A Time"
Joni Mitchell -- "Big Yellow Taxi"
Nick Drake -- "Road"

Actually, my sisters are coming to town this evening, so I may not be able to upload until tomorrow, if someone else can do them earlier.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Since you don't have the John Denver, see if you can find Toots and the Maytals version of Country Roads. It's so great.
My road trip must hear song is "Gimme Shelter". It doesn't specifically mention road tripping but when I hear it I always feel like I'm gonna get where I'm going.

Sorry, had a meeting.
Thanks to juliana for sending me Corb Lund. Thanks to Perkins, Tep, Sue, and Sean for sending stuff along later.
Gomez -- "Devil Will Ride"
Janis Joplin -- "Mercedes Benz"

Joni Mitchell -- "Big Yellow Taxi"

Definitely interested in "Mercedes Benz". I already took off "Road", can't remember why. I also ended up taking out taxi songs (including "Mr. Cab Driver"). I don't know the other two, but I'm always happy to check out new music.
Convoy -- C.W. McCall
Oooh, that's already there, but I forgot to add it to the list I posted.
I bet if you go to the "Car Talk" website you can find some good car songs.
sumi, I was going to say great suggestion (and it is), but then I realized that the buffistas had added so many suggestions of their own that it probably wasn't even necessary!
As always, thanks for your suggestions!
