Washington DC November 26, 2008; The AIADA newsletter reported that as Americans everywhere prepare for the annual Thanksgiving slog over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house, the car blog Autopia has compiled an auto-themed playlist to keep us from falling into a tryptophan-induced stupor on the long drive home.
After all, British researchers have found belting out your favorite song behind the wheel makes it less likely you'll plow into the back of a semi.
Number 10 on the list: Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place to Go." Chuck Berry made a whole career out of singing about fast cars, pretty girls, and having fun, and all three themes play prominently in this classic from 1964 in which young love is thwarted by a malfunctioning seat-belt.
Number two: Sir Mix-A-Lot's "My Hooptie." Sir Mix-A-Lot gave a shout-out to lemons: "Lifters tickin', accelerator's stickin', somethin' on my left-front wheel keeps clickin'."
Haven't we all driven something similar?
