my favorite driving song
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speedin' into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sents her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sents her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speedin' into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough

Well, well, Bryan Adams still rules in Canada, heh. I like Summer of '69 myself. Incredibly infectious song...Bryan Adams tops car song poll
By ROSS MAROWITS
MONTREAL (CP) - As the summer road trip season continues, Bryan Adams' classic Summer of '69 has topped the list of Canadians' favourite driving songs, everywhere but in Ontario, suggests a new poll.
The mid-1980s tune topped the list of seven suggested songs among men and women, according to a Decima Research survey of 1,000 Canadians. The song was more popular in Quebec at 36 per cent, compared with a national average of 27 per cent.
The other songs in order of preference were:
2). Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen;
3). Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf;
4). It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It) - The Rolling Stones;
5). Drive My Car - The Beatles;
6). Free Fallin' - Tom Petty;
7). Radar Love - Golden Earring.
Ontario was the only province not to pick the Adams tune as its favourite. Residents there preferred Bohemian Rhapsody.
British Columbians were divided between the song by Adams, a former Vancouver resident, and the Stones classic.
The order of preference of the seven songs was slightly different in each of the three provinces.
Adams said he appreciated topping the poll, especially in Quebec.
"I've always thought Quebecers had extremely good taste," he said in an e-mail.
Montreal radio DJ Claudine Prevost pinned the Adams song's popularity on its chorus and the memories it sparks among listeners.
"It's a good song because it's one that everyone knows," the CKOI-FM personality said Tuesday as the poll results were made public.
"Each summer, it's a song that people request."
The 29-year-old said she loves the song even though she is too young to have any memories of her own about that summer 37 years ago.
The seven songs were selected by music journalists. No French selections were included because they wouldn't be known across the country.
Danielle Martineau of Montreal said she prefers Bohemian Rhapsody but has great memories, nevertheless, of the summer when she was a freedom-loving teenager.
"In '69, I was 19," said Martineau, a Revenu-Quebec employee who attended the release of the results. "It was a great time in those years."
The poll was conducted July 12-19 as part of a national telephone survey paid for by various corporations. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
The survey also found that two-thirds of Canadian drivers admitted to singing in the car.
Female singers outnumbered males 73 per cent to 58 per cent.
Ontario residents were the most likely to sing in the car, while Quebecers were the least likely. Almost half of Quebecers said they never sing in the car.
More than half of respondents across Canada said they preferred to sing along with songs on the radio, while 34 per cent selected songs on their CD, MP3 or cassette players.
B.C. drivers claimed they were most likely to get caught singing by other motorists. Some 64 per cent said they were spotted, compared with the national average of 50 per cent.
But Alberta drivers were the most confident, with 82 per cent saying they would continue to sing when spotted by other drivers.
I'm happy to see The Beatles up there, too!
Radar Love still my favorite.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
