I was JUST singing Weird Al in the car today! Wanna go halfsies with me on Amish Paradise?

It's your line, you can sing it however you want. Oh, and we need to do Like a Surgeon too. Actually... All of them? Let's just go driving with the windows down.

Best.Post.Ever.

OMG. I haven't read anything else but this right now, but today was 1984 on best of set, and I totally voted for The Warrior. We're talking about Scandal Warrior, right? don't make me read this thread....
The Warrior is soooo on my ishuffle. It's very inspirational. "Victory is Mi-i-i-i-iyine!!!!" is my favorite part to sing.
Even if you weren't talking about that, that would definitely be hella, hella, in my car, and I'd be singing the shizz out of it. Just like this morning, but in my house.


Carry on.
And no, I don't care that I am two pages late with this reply. Warrior deserves it.

Lady (I didn't know I needed to sing with this, until it came on in a friend's car: "don't be thinking that I don't want you...")

And two pages late again, how did everyone miss this lovely and eclectic list?

Somebody to Love is a MUST SING. MUST. MUST!!!!
So perfectly fun to sing. "Everything" you want in a vocal.

I have to say, I can't really sing Aqualung that well, but I enjoy it.
Ah, St. Teresa - a vocal amusement park, often forgotten.
hehehe, The Joker. Doesn't that song just always make you so happy?

my list is exhaustive - my current guilty pleasures are:

hips don't lie - shakira (bite me)

That's one of mine too...along with Whenever Wherever also by Shakira

Of course that Warrior. I used to do it during karaoke at my parents' bar - hand gestures & all. I don't have it on my mp3, why did I not rip it from CD? Must rectify that when I get home.

Ghetto

Drop it like it’s hot. I’m dropping, parking and popping it like it’s hot.
Notorious BIG-hypnotize
o.k. so this song MAKES me dance. Like, full body dance. In the car. I know people behind me are pissed because my foot comes off the pedal occasionally while dancing. It just has that heavy groove where you have to break it down.
Lean Back-Fat Joe-yeah. I have to throw the seat back and “lean back” LOVE this song.
Get Low-people must think I’m crazy when this song comes on. It’s a full orchestration.
From the “sock it sock to me” to the “to da windooooooooow to da waaaaallll”
Ice cube-you can do it.
Shake that-emimem probably a tie between this and hypnotize to "ghetto dance" to (oh, and you can do it /Ice cube) but I think it’s because of the “i'm a menace, and dentist, an oral hygienist" etc)
My neck, my back. Thank god I have somewhat tinted windows. But on a sunny day, I’m sure people are wondering why I’m pointing “down there” hahah…

FM/stevie
Edge. It’s all about shoulder shimmying with this song. While in the car. While standing it’s hip shimmying
Angel-
Basically anything that has had a video. I try to pull off the stevie expressions while singing. So I’m sure people are thinking I’m some maniac. Especially during Rhiannon rosebud
Obviously insider
Stand back lib
Holiday Road

Other
Earth wind and fire-september
Bodies-Drowing pool. I’m out of the headbanging scene, so if this song pops up on my ipod, my neck hurts for a week.
AC/DC-you shook me all night long. Yes. I’m a video vixen. I’m knocking someone out with these American thighs hahaha..no..not really. But it’s still fun
Aerosmith-back in the saddle.
The bitch is back-elton john and beannie and the jets
Blister in the sun-Violent femmes when I’m a drivin’ I strut my stuff
Freeze frame
Heart-magic man and crazy on you….lemme goo craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzy on you
Total eclipse of the heart. Oh yeah
Walk like an Egyptian.
Keep your hands to yourself-georgia satellites
grease soundtrack
Pour some sugar on me – my all time favorite song to dance to. Ever.

[DrummerDeanna]

^^

Grease!!! How could I forget Grease!?! That's a great car jammer

As is Pour Some Sugar on Me!

Yes to all of this. My list also includes the entire Doggystyle cd. It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none! Better go ahead and put Dre's Chronic Cd and Regulate by Warren G on my list too. Better yet, any song with a hook by Nate Dogg is great.

Heart-magic man and crazy on you

A lot of people are saying this, along with Barracuda. "Straight On" anyone? I love doing the little "ooh ooh's" at the end.

Pour some sugar on me – my all time favorite song to dance to. Ever.

Ever? Really?

don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOOOOVE the chronic (that was my first cd!! ) but it's more of something I kick back and "chill" to. Not some big production in the car, ya know? nothin' but a g thang is so smooth. There's no room for getting rowdy

I like straight on, but magic man is and always has been my favorite Heart song. singing, smoking and a good looking "magic man". I'm surprised that's not your favorite and then crazy on you-just the wail.

really. do you KNOW how many times I've danced on top of bars to this song?? yeah, I don't either. i lost count. There are a LOT of songs I like to dance to, etc. But this one never fails to get me up and movin/groovin'. so what is your favorite song to dance to?? oh. We need a new thread. Is there a thread about that? I think there is (no one put any ghetto sh*t on there, though )

We are just that cool I seriously wonder sometimes, though. I guess if there are other people like me, i should be fine.....right??

Oh, I can't believe I forgot them! Of course Surrender would be on my list for loud car sing-a-long, and then a bunch more.

*Nostalgia moment: I bough Cheap Trick "Live At Budokan" the import single of Pretenders "Stop Your Sobbing" and Talking Heads "More Songs About Buildings and Food" at the tower records in Westwood, 1979, my first year of high school. Old Old Old.
