Livin' La Vida Loca

[bobcat]

You're 20 years old again and single
Just came into a boat load of money
Bought the convertible car of your dreams
You're crusin down the highway with the wind in your hair
Headed out on an epic road trip adventure.
What song have you got blastin' on your custom installed sound system?

I think this might be mine

 

[fuzzybuddy]

"Satisfaction" by the Stones.
Ain't got no, da dar darnanar, Ain't got no, da dar darnanar

 

[-Oy-]

My transport would be a Harley-Davidson Fatboy and my tune...

 

[jujube]

"On The Road Again"...Willie, of course.

It's the first song I play when I head out on a road trip.

At age 20 ?

Now ?

 

[Rossana]

"Count On Me" Jefferson Starship.

Going down the Garden State Parkway to the New Jersey Shore!

 

[Twostep]

Talladega Scenic Route used to be our Sunday afternoon drive.
Alabama - National Scenic Byway Foundation
Then comes the challenge of navigating the old cannon haul road from Mt. Cheaha to Heflin, AL.

1966, gotta be "96 Tears"

 

[OldFeller]

By the time I was 20, the hit songs were predominantly soft rock and disco.

Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1978

A list of the top 10 gives you some idea...

No.	Title	Artist(s)
1	"Shadow Dancing"	Andy Gibb
2	"Night Fever"	Bee Gees
3	"You Light Up My Life"	Debby Boone
4	"Stayin' Alive"	Bee Gees
5	"Kiss You All Over"	Exile
6	"How Deep Is Your Love"	Bee Gees
7	"Baby Come Back"	Player
8	"(Love Is) Thicker Than Water"	Andy Gibb
9	"Boogie Oogie Oogie"	A Taste of Honey
10	"Three Times a Lady"	Commodores

That's more the kind of stuff you listen to when on your way to food shopping.

Oh, the memories some of those songs bring back. Don't know if I want to smile or cry.

Perhaps an odd choice, but mine would be the Beatles' Back in the USSR. Just because it's so energetic, nothing related to the lyrics or politics or anything.

 

[Remy]

Wow @bobcat I like how you think. That's a great fantasy. What song? Good question. For now I'll go with Oy's choice.

 

[Tish]

 

[Lilac]

It's My Life by Bon Jovi

 

[bobcat]

Stir It Up ------ Patti LaBelle

 

[Naturally]

Lets Roll

 

[bobcat]

Who can forget this classic for a road trip.

 

[Feelslikefar]

In 1972, I turned 20 and if I had all those things, probably would put this on.

Top Down, with the 8-Track Cranked up, cruising down the 101, over the speed limit...

 

[KSav]

Perhaps an odd choice, but mine would be the Beatles' Back in the USSR. Just because it's so energetic, nothing related to the lyrics or politics or anything.

Actually, on second thought, I'd probably go with the Violent Femmes' "Kiss Off."

[horseless carriage]

It's not quite my dream car, but near enough. Problem is, there's no radio, let alone a sound system but as it's: "Let's Pretend,"


Well & truly, In The Mood.
