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.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

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.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

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"
Johnny Cash -- "One Piece At A Time"
Joni Mitchell -- "Big Yellow Taxi"
Nick Drake -- "Road"

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!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

“The Truck Got Stuck” by Corb Lund (in honor of juliana)

YAY!

"A Girl Named GO" - Cory Branan (Doin' 60 with a 40 and a .45...)

MORE YAY!

I have "Cool in the Backseat" by the Nields, which is awesome if only for the following lyric:

You came over to my house/there was trouble written all over you/but literally, on your t-shirt it said "trouble"/what was I supposed to do?

At work I also have "Drive You Home" by Garbage, "Asleep in the Back" by Elbow, "Let's Ride" by Nashville Pussy, "Lovers in the Backseat" by Scissor Sisters

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Golden Earring's Radar Love has always been a great road trip song for me, and I could send you that.

I've been drivin' all night,
my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear

I look more rad than Lutheranism

megan, I'm sending those 2 songs to your Gmail.
