An entire song sung in the same tone of voice that Brittany Murphy used for her "I'll never te-ell" line in Don't Say a Word.
But at least it's porn, right?
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it? Wait, written in the seventies by one of the folk artists from Woodstock—nevermind.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
Since I read the call for driving-related songs I've had the Clash's version of "Brand New Cadillac" stuck in my head.

You don't say?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
oooooh, Krycek. Yum.
Theme song... "Fast Cars" by U2. If that's not a band with franchise potential then I don't know who is. "Gone" could work, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is that the same as The Buzzcocks's song "Fast Cars"?
They're nice and precise, each one begins and ends
They may win you admirers, but they'll never earn you friends
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars
They're so depressing going 'round and 'round
Ooh, they make me dizzy, oh fast cars they run me down
Fast cars, fast cars,
Fast cars, I hate fast cars
Sooner or later, you're gonna listen to Ralph Nader
I don't wanna cause a fuss, but fast cars are so dangerous
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars, fast cars
Fat cars, fast cars
I hate fast cars

No, it's from the album "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb." [link] It's got a fun groove.

What is even happening?
I've managed to earworm myself with "I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates" when what I was really heading for was "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin. At least it has actual carage.
Oh dear me. The two of them are having it out in my head, right now.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
If we're looking for driving-related songs
In that case, almost anything from Sally Crewe & the Sudden Moves' first album "Drive it like you stole it". 12 songs in 27 minutes and it has more car-references than an entire F1 race.
