Roadtrip Song Suggestions?

[Xalis]

We'll be driving from Indiana to Florida; & I am putting together a mix of songs to listen to along the way. I will, of course, be including many Disney songs, but what about non-Disney songs? What songs would you choose?

Here are a few of mine:

1. Burning Love – Elvis Presley
2. Pocket Full of Sunshine – Natasha Bedingfield
3. Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me – Keith Urban
4. Remember the Magic – Brian McKnight
5. The Popcorn Song

On the Road Again - Willie Nelson
Life is a Highway - Rascal Flatts (has the advantage of being both a 'regular' and a Disney song )
Little Deuce Coupe - Beach Boys

Can't believe I'm suggesting this but Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah by Aly and AJ the Disney song kids. Great tune to get you in the mood. My kids have the cd, yeah that's it my kids have the cd...

Also, any Kenny Chesney song is good for traveling then you have to throw in a little AC/DC to keep things going.

Have fun!!!

"Drive My Car" -- The Beatles
"Walkin' on Sunshine" -- Katrina and the Waves (or Aly and AJ if you must)
"Magic Carpet Ride" -- Steppenwolf
"Sharp Dressed Man" -- ZZ Top

Mamma Mia - ABBA
Walk Like an Egyptian - Bangles
Boris the Spider - the Who
Do Wah Diddy Diddy - Manfred Mann
Rockin' Robin and ABC - Jackson 5

Just some quick ideas - we have a zillion family friendly playlists!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt

Just kidding! But I would put some No Doubt/Gwen Stefani on the mix b/c I love them.

I love 80s tunes and hard rock or punk for car trips.

Probably not "family-friendly" but my favorite road trip/car song is "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar!

OMG! I saw the title of your thread and thought you wanted songs you could sing in the car! All I could think, was OMG--I would die if I were in that car! Anyways, what immediately came to mind for singing was 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.....

Radar Love by Golden Earring.
Steve McQueen by Sheryl Crow
Bring Me to Life by Evanescene
Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet
If You're Gonna... by Natasha Bedingfield

Really it depends on the kind of music you like.

Oh my goodness no! I agree, let's NOT do that. That would be rather painful.

I can't believe no one has suggested...

LYNDSAY BUCKINGHAM - HOLIDAY ROAD

(a.k.a. the theme from Vacation)

LYNDSAY BUCKINGHAM - HOLIDAY ROAD
(a.k.a. the theme from Vacation)

So am I!

I have my playlist TIMED almost to the minute of how long it will take to get from my driveway to the entrance ramp of the interstate and by the time we hit I-75 and 75mph, this song will begin playing!

I also have a mix of car/travel/road-themed tunes, sing-along tunes and disney tunes. (But I may swipe some of these ideas, too)

Happy travels!
