Must Have Songs for Long Roadtrip

[ullanta]

and shocking enough, ullanta - my friend made a cd and he put "Warm Leatherette" on there. Quite an interesting song - he tells me it's about a car accident but with sexual undertones.

"Undertones" may be an understatement - see the lyrics (http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/mewithoutyou/warmleatherette.htm).

I once had a car in which every once in a while a cassette would occasionally get stuck in the player, and start playing randomly a few days later. Finally, it got stuck in the middle of "Warm Leatherette" one day... and didn't play again for months. For months, of course, I imagined that I'd get into a nasty accident, and as I lay there in the car, the tape would finally start playing as I faded away...

With that and some of the Throbbing Gristle "songs" based on car accidents, you've got a doozy of a road-trip mood!
