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!

how about "Bad Motor Scooter" by Montrose.

Okay, here's what I have here at work that I can provide (my home library is more extensive):

"Gypsy Biker" - Bruce Springsteen

“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

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

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

megan, I don't have the gmail - is profile addy good or buffista rawks?

Also, there's "American Car" by Mike Doughty, which I have at home.

Perkins, was it *necessary* to earworm me with "Radar Love"?!?

Sheesh.

Yes, it was.

It really really was.

Good g*d juliana. You know, one day, I aspire to a music collection that is at least one-tenth of the typical buffista Music poster.

Based on bands I know I like, and titles, I'd say: "Yellow Checkered Cars (Bang The Doldrums)" - Fall Out Boy "Keep The Car Running" - Arcade Fire "Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel" - Barenaked Ladies "Hurtin' Albertan" - Corb Lund Band "A Girl Named GO" - Cory Branan "Passenger Seat" - Death Cab For Cutie "One Piece At A Time" - Johnny Cash "Bikeriders" - Lucero "American Car" - Mike Doughty "Lovers In The Backseat" - Scissor Sisters

"Sweet Carolina Rain" - Kane

This would good for my April Showers mix.

"Highway 101" - Social Distortion

I considered this (esp. since I will be driving up the coast), but didn't love it.

"Brand New Cadillac" - Vince Taylor and His Playboys

Damn! I have this in the mix too (by The Clash) but it's not on my list. I must have forgotten to copy a few from home.

megan, I don't have the gmail - is profile addy good or buffista rawks?

Either way is fine. Or, you can use my real last name @ gmail--of course, then you have to know how to spell it!!!

And she laughed and laughed...
