On top Gear just now they are doing a top 5 best driving songs, now personnally i think they are all pish (except meatloaf maybe) and would not put such drivvle in my 21t Laughing

so im gonna steal their idea and also up it from 5 to 10 Laughing

So what would your top 10 driving songs be ?

it can be any type of music you want, but has to have been officially released or from an album that was officially released, no made up bedroom DJ'ing music

Id go 1st ...but im still thinking Embarassed Laughing

Nice bit of funky house methinks. Feel good music, which is just the kind of music you want when ur cruising round in this lush weather Very Happy

I'm buggered if I can think of any tunes off the top of me head though! Umm......err........

1. Freemasons - Love on my mind (Joey Negro Mix)
2. Joey Negro - Saturday (Club Mix)
3. Joey Negro - Must be the music (Club Mix)
4. David Moralles presents the Face feat. Juliet Roberts - Needin U (2001 main anthem mix)
5. Bodyrockers - I Like The Way (Junior Jack 'rock da house' club mix)
6. Michael Gray - The Weekend (Extended vocal mix)
7. Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme (Vocal Mix)
8. Room 5 feat. Oliver Cheatham - Music & You (Full Intention Mix)
9. MAW presents India - To Be In Love (Full Intention vocal)
10. Roger Sanchez - I Never Knew (Full Intention Club Mix)

Those aren't in order by the way, just as I thought of 'em off the top of me head. Far too many classics to even think about cutting down to just 10 tunes! I hate having to choose my favourites of things......it's just impossible!

nope

thats the layla covered by Eric Clapton

the one you are thinking about is

The Kinks - Lola

met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
[LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Laughing "Lola" Thats the one, great amusing song, iv got it back home somewhere, was just getting confused over the name,

the best line is i think;

"And said dear boy im gonna make you a man"

and

"Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola"
