7. A song to drive to
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Ramble Tamble

Watch on YouTube

There are plenty of good ol' American rock'n'roll songs about barrelling down the highway. The genius of this paranoid little runaway song (They're selling independence/Actors in the white house/Acid in digestion/Mortgage on my life/Mortgage on my life/Ooooooo, down the road I go!) is that traffic jam in the middle, with the heat and carbon monoxide and frustration piling up until it finally clears and you get to floor it again.

I like it! Gotta love a song about running away from it all.

I'm sure it felt very topical 50 years ago. Good thing everything's much better now, eh? :/
