One must never underestimate the power of bad harmonies and classic tunes when on the highway to an unknown destination. And, anybody whose ever been to California or made the drive to Mammoth knows that its varying landscapes merit a jam session, especially when you're trapped in a tiny car bopping along through one of the country's largest states. So, here are some songs you need to have saved on your phone before you start your ride:
5) I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers
There's no denying the hyped and Scottish charm of the Proclaimers. If you're a bunch of dudes getting ready for a weekend of skiing, remember your favorite ladies back home with this great tune.
4) Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane
Maybe it's cheesy, maybe it reminds you too much of the movie "Cars", but I'll be darned if this song isn't just one enormous, corny, truthful metaphor about life.
3) Hotel California by The Eagles
How are you going to NOT do any air guitar solos throughout your entire ride? That just wouldn't be ride. Hotel California is a hauntingly beautiful song that'll make you feel sad, grateful, and nostalgic all at once.
2) I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash
It's a long ride, might as well learn these quick lyrics and (simultaneously!) plan a great cross country road trip. "Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa."
1) Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Oh, come on! No explanation need. Master your four-part harmony and sing the best tune of all time, over and over and over again.
