What's your favorite cruzin song?

I'm down with Lowrider by War. That's a killer cruise tune for the daytime.

Gonna have to say Slow & Low Beastie Boys for the evening.

TOOL going down the highway at night. (Or any other time for that matter)

Primus on the highway in the daytime.

Nekromantix are sweet as hell in an old rod. Got that 50's 60's vibe but with twisted effects and crazy lyrics. Don't jam this one in the garage if Mom might stop by. "Naw Mom, he ain't talkin' about grinding up corpses"

Dig it...

 

You're right, that is badass. You got my curiosity going so I went and fetched it. Pretty F'n cool!

 

That is a good one. I like that one too.

 

Anything by Dolly Parton...

 

Here are a few good ones to listen to while goin down the road...

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver-Primus
Du Hast-Rammenstein
Green Onions....already Mentioned..-Booker T and the MG's
Dyers Eve-Metallica
Walk Don't Run & Pipeline-The Ventures
Officer & Sound System- Operation Ivy

plenty more....but as said in another post....you can't name 'em all.

 

Wango De Tango The motor city madman

Ted Nugent

"Give my baby a light, she's be wangoed to death"

 

By any chance is it something like the battle of new orleans?
I prefer any thing by ZZ top for my cruising.

 

Walking Spanish down the hall-Tom Waites

 

First thing that came to my mind was "Ramble Tamble" by CCR.
Pretty much *anything* by CCR, & a few hundred other songs that rock...
~ Paul
aka "Tha Driver"

I checked today and... this is the oldest I've ever been.

 

Little Jimmy Dickens- Got A hole in my pocket......

one of my favs...

 

Slow cruise thru town, Peter Gunn Theme.
Road trip, Doobie Brothers Rockin' down the highway.

 

my song with my son. her it goes...
goin down the highway in 1954,daddy blew a fart and blew me out the door,wheels fell off,engine fell apart,that was the end of the supersonic fart!

 

Scratch My Back - Slim Harpo
Clap Your Hands - Beaumarks
Anything by Jimmy Reed
Half A Boy & Half A Man - Nick Lowe
Fannie Mae - Buster Brown
Soul Twist - King Curtis
The End - Doors
And several thousand others ...

 

Cruizin- Lowrider by War, hands down.

Drivin- Anything from Peneywise or the like, hard and fast.

 

After much thought: "Light My Fire" by the Doors.
When my folks were dating in high school (Rosemead, CA circa '67) that sang came on the radio for about 3 dates straight when they were in Dad's Bug. When I drive around with that on, I picture them, teens in love. Plus, I love the way the song climaxes.
Part of my top 5:
"I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" (ZZ Top)
"Maybeline" (Chuck Berry)
"Bad to the Bone" (George Thorogood)
"Darlington County" (Springsteen)
When I first got my licence, I drove Mom's Honda all around late-night Arcadia with the "Born to Run" LP tape playing, then the "Darkness..." LP.

 

Green Onions by Booker T

 

Smokin' and Burnin'.....Brian Setzer

 

any thing by John Foggerty.

 

Highway to Hell - AC/DC
She's Just Killing Me - Hardest song EVER by ZZ Top
Jet Airliner - Steve Miller Band
Highway Patrol - Junior Brown

 

On the open road as follows
La Grange - ZZ top
Black Betty - Ram Jam
Life in the Fast Lane - The Eagles
Radar Love - Golden Earring
Rock and Roll - Led Zepplin
And when I am slowing down or in town
Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs

 

Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group
Walk, Don't Run - The Ventures
Tush - ZZ Top

 

"American Pie"

 

"dat just my baby daddy"

seriously though, just about anything by shaun young, particularly "three carburetors" (even though i only have one).

 

Anything by Big Black
Buzzbomb by Dead Kennedy's

 

Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

 

anything from nofx, bad religion, pennywise, dk, fuck it anything punk

 

Johnny B. Good---Chuck Berry!

 

anything by Stray Cats,Blazing Haley,or just oldies

 

Amen to the Peter Gunn Theme... I used to have a big-blocked 77 Gran Prix affectionately known as the "pimpmobile". The Art-of Noise vesion can't be beat for cammed-out cruising. For twisty-turny back roads I gotta go for Maybelline by Fats Domino. Anything over 110 on the flat gimme SRV "House is a' Rockin"!

 

((Looking around to be sure none of his fascist RaB buddies are looking))
It's probably cliche, but "Take the Money and Run" by Steve Miller Band.
His "Greatest Hits" 74-78 album has got to be my all-time favorite road trip album. Just a great record, perfect sequencing. A nice way to spend an hour or so.
Of course, if I'm driving the camper van, it's more like "Give Me Forty Acres (to Turn This Rig Around)"
