Back when I was in Europe, we would spend and astounding amount of time traveling. Every second weekend we would take a 3 1/2 hour train to Germany and back for the weekend. The trainrides were fun, but on special occasions our parents would come and take us home or pick us up. The drive took about four hours, but we always brought a stash of CD to play - and sing along to!
Since coming to North America I've come to recognise and vigorously bemoan the lack of travel options close by. Ottawa is two hours, but even Toronto is six, and New York can easily take eight to ten. If you're hitting the road, what would you put on?
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk
Also known as the Witt Family Theme Song, the relentless base will send you flying down the road with the energy revved up to "high".
Don't lie - everyone knows the lyrics to this song. Complete with scrunched up faces and gesticulating hands, you realise that you're young, the world is awesome and you have no idea where you might end up.
Night Time (Is the Right Time) by Ray Charles
The dizzying intro notes and swinging melody will have you swaying in the car seat with your eyes closed, mouth pursed seductively. Bums gyrate in seats and even the most preppy kids will realise that deep within them slumbers a belter of the blues.
