Crank it up
 

Okay give it up. I know you have some and you can't hide from the light any longer. I busted a girl on the way into work for it, and she knew she was 100% guilty as soon as she saw the look on my face.

Friends, I'm talking about car singing. Actually more along the lines of performing. Singing, dancing, actions, emotion....the whole bit. We all have a list of a few songs that cause us to temporarily lose our sh*t completely. Whether you can sing or not is irrelevent here. Talent matters not. What matters is that these songs are so great that even the meekest of people can give a balls out performance.

So...out with it. What songs make you bust out the car dancing/singing? Or while showering, grocery shopping, studying, family planning, plotting, etc? I'll start:

Early 80's Madge (Burning Up, Borderline, etc)
Rock & Roll (Preferably the orginal, but I rock it to Heart's version too)
Stand Back (LIB is a good version for the car)
Don't Stop Believing
Anything Motown
and as of last weekend, Whitney's I Wanna Dance with Somebody :laugh:

anything. seriously. but my most egregious moments have occurred during ...

-crazy on you
-stand back
-the chain
-angel
-walking on broken glass
-eo17 (natch)
-gypsy
-hanging on the telephone

yeah, too many to list. :laugh:

We SO need to drive together:laugh:

absolutely! we would get into a wreck, tho. :laugh:

it would be worth it.

other songs:

-pretty much anything from she's so unusual
-like a prayer
-thunder road
-cat house blues (shut up)
-OH! 9 to 5. jesus christ. 9 to 5.

Mac-related:

Doing The Best That I Can (I literally throw invisible cards :laugh: )
Straight Back
Show You How
Edge of 17
TISL
Honey Hi

Tony - Patty Griffin
What About Love - Heart
Take the Money & Run - Stevie Miller Band (hand claps mandatory)
Change of Heart - Cyndi Lauper




Can't wait to see Strand's list. :laugh:

Awwww ****. I will tear up some Like a Prayer. I do a mean Live to Tell too.

And I'll see your Thunder Road & raise you Rosalita.

naturally. i do a weird little jaunty dance during "walking on broken glass" that probably causes accidents. :laugh:

hand claps are always necessary.

and i should include COH. major major dance number for me.

:laugh:

****, i just had a good one and i forgot it!!! dammit.

oh yeah! billie jean. naturally.

I sing all the time. I don't give a damn who sees or hears me. :lol:

Preach it on sista woman!!!!!!!!!

Ditto...
 

but I can carry a tune, so it doesnt annoy the canines of the world.

When U Were Mine is a definite performance. Like A Prayer and True Blue as well:) Dolly is just a given.

There isn't much to say on that except :xoxo:

Now..I wanna hear your "Live To Tell"!!!

Oh I'm a complete and total car singer. I think it might be physically impossible for me to be in a car and NOT sing.

I'll sing to anything and everything I know...and I don't care who sees me, if I get a funny look I just belt it out at whoever is looking at me funny :lol:

Some of my favorite car hits:

Def. Like a Prayer...
Time After Time
Goodbye to You
Bohemian Rhapsody
We Are the Champions
Let me Roll it
Lips of an Angel :lol:

Ok...there are a lot...I sing. All the time.
