If you travel by car every day and always cover the same distance, you long for variety. For this reason, we have compiled a list of songs that will provide musical entertainment during the car ride.
Whether it’s a sunny road trip, a family outing, or a night drive on the autobahn, every movement becomes much more pleasant with the right songs on your ears. The Beatles, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bruce Springsteen have published particularly famous songs, which are still heard today while driving with pleasure.
If you want to warble along to a song or two yourself, you can’t miss the classic “Freeway” from the German band “Kraftwerk” not around. The song provides on almost 23 minutes the appropriate sounds for longer trips on Germany’s roads. The catchy refrain also invites the passengers to sing along because, with a “Wir fahr’n, fahr’n, fahr’n auf der Autobahn,” even the longest drive goes by like a flash.
Another song that encourages you to sing along is called “300 HP” by the Austrian pop-rock band “Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung.” The lyrics of this song are simple, but that’s what makes it a good choice for the cassette deck in the car. Cult lines like “My first word was a car, the second was tutu” can still be sung along by people over 30 – and those who don’t know the lyrics will be brought up to 300 hp by the rocking melody.
Among the best road trip songs, of course, is “Born to Run” by “Bruce Springsteen”, “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by “The Proclaimers”, or else “Highway to Hell” by the Australian band “AC/DC”.
In our playlist of the best songs for driving, we’ve compiled 80 songs that are especially good for having a good time in the car. From classic pieces to let yourself drift with the rhythm of the music to current hits that make long car rides fly by, this playlist offers the fitting soundtrack for every musical taste.
