This is somewhat dependent on the person and the era. A friend of mine once drove over the clown at Jack in the Box (in another friend's new pickup) while listening to Grand Funk Railroad's version of Locomotion. We later discovered he shouldn't be allowed to listen to any music at all in a motor vehicle. At least not after a night of partying. |

The Mermen's "Little Stinky Kitty" makes the hair stand up on my neck and I have to strain as my boots turn to lead. It's just a perfect song to speed to. |

I've been in minor car accidents while listening to T. Rex's "Mambo Sun" and Cheap Trick's "He's a Whore," and a not-so-minor one while listening to The Ventures' "Ram-Bunk-Shush." So, uh, those three for sure. -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

A drove straight into a queue waiting for a red traffic light a few years back while headbanging to Teisco del Rey's "Pier Pressure". No injuries, but I ended up damaging my own and the three cars in front of me while shoving them into eachother, I dont know the total damage of the other cars but ours was over $10.000. moral of the story: Teisco del Rey is totally cool, and so are seatbelts.

I almost started this same thread a few weeks ago after a near-incident while listening to Nebula One. —Don |

This is a really funny thread-- "What song were you listening to when you wrecked your car? In 1987 I was driving with a buddy through San Francisco with the radio on, they were playing a U2 song. Then the DJ came on and said, "Guess what? U2 is playing a free concert this afternoon in downtown S.F." One second later a VW Bug turned in front of me and I hit it dead on in the side and it rolled over. We didn't get to go to the concert... --fd —Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

The first thing I do is take the car stereos OUT of the old jalopies I have a thing for. That way, there's no temptation to break into a rare car and do a bunch of damage just to steal a cheap car stereo. If I want music while I'm driving, I just sing at the top of my lungs, which has the added benefit of making the other drivers around me give me LOTS of space. |

Tone boy....Rap ain't considered music.....My vote is "Introduction". This is the first track on the first CTA (Chicago) Album. It is the meanest recording I've ever heard. Over the years, I have caught myself going WAY over the speed limit listening to those first CTA albums. Best band in history. IMHO no other group even comes close........ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

About 19 years ago (when I was in the Army), I was driving along somewhere in Columbus, GA, when R.E.M.'s "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" starts playing, on the local rock station I was listening to. I've always tended to drive about 5 MPH over the posted speed limit (55 MPH in this case), and before I know it, as I'm bopping along with the song, I discovered I'd gained 20 MPH in speed.

Wow! Spent the last 8 months of my hitch in the Army working at Martin Army Hospital at Ft Benning in Columbus. I drove back and forth to Atlanta every weekend to play with my band. Back then, the interstate wasn't completed and it was a long slow haul.......ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

Three words: Master of Puppets. Especially after that scene in Old School, I can't keep it anywhere near the speed limit when I hear this song. Yet for some reason, "I Can't Drive" always makes me want to pull off the road and not drive any more. Damn Sammy Hagar. ~B~ |

I don't talk about this much, but... I was a senior in high school. Two buddies and I were going Christmas shopping on the first day of (what was then "Christmas vacation". This was December 1971. I was driving my 1963 VW bug. I recall we were listening to The Beach Boys in Concert album on 8-track... Papa-Umm-Mow-Mow. I was told I didn't quite make the yellow light and I was broadsided by a boat of a Pontiac Bonneville. Pelvis fractures, rib fractures, collapsed lung, concussion. Spent the next 10 days in the hospital, including three in ICU. I've had a ton of memorable Christmas', but that takes the cake. My friends were basically unhurt. I fully recovered and that led to my career as an x-ray tech, which I've been doing now for the last 28 years... "...funniest sound I ever heard..." Last edited: Jun 03, 2007 14:44:07 |
