Car songs!

This cheered me up all day yesterday (which was cool, cuz my horoscope said my day would be a “9” anyway, and this helped)…

I was heading to work up Far Hills toward our lovely and still new DDN Media Center (and right past all that awful, horrible clear-cutting of gorgeous trees in Oakwood; i don’t like the way they did that…) and spotted a lady in her car coming the other direction who was SINGING HER HEART OUT.

I mean, she had the biggest, happiest look on her face (she must not have noticed the chopped-down trees) and was puttin’ everything she had into whatever was on the radio.

Then I realized I was singing along to something, too (new Madonna), though not quite so energetically — nor, I expect, nearly as well. This lady looked like she could belt ‘em out with the best.

Car radio, CD player, iPod — I bet there are a few of you who have a favorite blow-the-roof-off-fave-car-radio-singalong song. Care to share?

Mine would be “Born to Run.” Next runner-up: “That Smell,” by Lynyrd Skynryd (“…the smell o’ death’s around youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”)

Your turn!

(PS: Feel free to comment on the Oakwood mature-tree clear-cutting, too… )
