It should be something by an unsigned band.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
If that meant "unsigned by a major label," they could do worse than something dream-poppy by a Misra band.

Goddess on a Highway by Mercury Rev.
Or Chicago by Sufjan Stevens... I'm sure there are other songs about driving, but I just ate an awful lot of sugar.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I love The Cars so much. But Paint It Black is number one on my wishlist.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, I'm sure there are a number of artists with a song called "Drive." R.E.M., Incubus, Emm Gryner...

We could do a whole Springsteen themed thing.
Drive: Original Recipe - Born to Run
Drive: Hawaii - Streets of Fire (Watch the contestants circumnavigate lava flows!)
Drive: Sponsored by Chevrolet - Thunder Road
And, of course, the very special edition Post-Prison Break Drive - Working On The Highway.

Ooh, Buck 65 might be good. Maybe Highway 101.

Kristen understands this game. I'm taking my toys and going to AIM.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
We should help Tim out by selecting the appropriate theme song. It should be something like how Bruckheimer uses The Who. You know, in case there's a franchise, like Drive: Europe. Or Drive: Catalina, where all the cars are those teeny golf carts.
Ah. Deja Vu.
Anyway: A Berklee faculty member lists his 50 favorite songs for the highway.
Personally I like: "Drive" REM

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How about that big '05 hit (that's 1905), In My Merry Oldsmobile, the first song ever about a car. Or maybe Robert Johnson's Terraplane Blues - the first song to use a car as a sexual metaphor (or so I've read).
