3. Life is a Highway, Tom Cochrane or Rascal Flatts
This quintessential road tune has a few versions to choose from. The original hit was written and recorded by Canadian crooner, Tom Cochrane, back in 1991. The song got more radio play in 2006 from American country band, Rascal Flatts. This version was part of the soundtrack to the Disney-Pixar film, Cars. The travel-celebrating lyrics mention places like Mozambique, the Khyber Pass, Memphis and Vancouver, and it’s driving beat is infectious. It’s definitely one you’ll be belting out at the top of your lungs while you’re motoring down life’s highway.
4. Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car, Billy Ocean
Hitting number one on several charts in the US in its 1988 release, British singer Billy Ocean’s single Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car is a perfect representative of those cheesy yet irresistibly catchy dance-pop songs of the eighties. Others may remember the song from the teen-adventure movie License to Drive, released in the same year. “Beep beep, yeah!”
