I lost my iPod a while ago (I blame some chode at Jiffy Lube for stealing it) and haven’t been listening to music for months. I finally got my old Shuffle back from my mom and loaded it up with all my favorite sing-along songs. I’ve been doing nothing but wailing when I drive alone. I’m sure people at stop lights think I’m insane but it feels so good to belt your heart out.
Here are my favorite songs to sing along to in the car:
Jane’s Addiction – Jane Says … the live version from their album Kettle Whistle – can’t find that version anywhere!
Kate Bush – Running up That Hill
Janis Joplin – Piece of my Heart
A Perfect Circle – Three Libras
Jawbreaker – Condition Oakland
AFI – Rabbits are Roadkill on Route 37
Saves the Day – Always Ten Feet Tall
Beastie Boys – Get it Together – my ultimate karaoke song
What songs do you love to sing along to?

God…too many more to count. It’s hard to think of all the songs you just want to sing when you hear them!
ahaha I love your list! I sing along to most of those too!
The ones I listed are more like songs I could do at karaoke and sound okay doing them… at least in my mind I think I can pull it off. ;)
I’ve been banned from karaoke by my friends after a particularly terrible rendition of Sweet Caroline. But, they are right and I know it. I cannot carry a tune.
Did you ever see that Family Guy where Lois and Peter find some old weed stash and remember when they were a band? They had fond memories of perfect harmonies and in reality they sounded like cats mating? I had a particularly epic drunk karaoke night a long time ago and in my mind, I think I was the most amazing I had ever been but I don’t like admitting, I probably sounded like a dying animal! ;)
ekkkkk!!! I love PJ Once, it’s such an awesome song to scream at the top of your lungs in the car! :)
