Just a little fun….
Just on the way back from a few nights away and we all agreed that living on a prayer is the best driving song/carpool karaoke song..

Randomly, and not so much to belt out, but Desert Rose by Sting is my favourite driving song, I never get tired of it.

Summertime
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

BUT only in a convertible with the roof down, otherwise stick to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Roll to me Del Amitri

Great to see Del Amitri mentioned here! I'm a big fan, currently have their Greatest Hits always running in the car and belt them all out!

Mostly drive alone these days, but when dd was still living at home it would usually be All Too Well by Taylor Swift, both of us definitely NOT hitting the high notes!! But it didn't stop us trying!
