“Cars” by Gary
Numan (1979)
If you are singing along to a song when driving, say
researchers, you are paying more attention to your driving. I think they are right, but clearly I am
biased. The most intimate music we play is often behind the wheel of a car.
So let’s see, what would be the perfect driving song?
The song would have to enhance the experience of the short
jaunt or the long haul. For longer trips the highway sound of your wheels has
to kind of blend. A song with a steady rhythm and a strong beat for starters. It
probably has guitars, decent drumming, and maybe a little cowbell for good
measure.
