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..

what’s yours?

You’d enjoy the mash-up of this with Miley Cyrus’ Edge of Midnight. It’s fab

Daydream Believer -the Monkees.
I challenge anyone not to sing along when they hear it.

For everyone saying Bat Out Of Hell/Meatloaf, have you heard Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young by Fire Inc.? It's from the film Streets Of Fire and is the best thing Jim Steinman ever did.

Tonight is what it means to be young - Streets of Fire.ost

Tonight is what it means to be youngStreets Of Fire.1984 ost

@beguilingeyes I love a bit of Jim Steinman, especially his Bad for Good album, and his skill at story telling through lyrics but unfortunately not keen on that song or artist. I couldn't keep up with the lyrics and definitely couldn't sing them all! (maybe you need to be young!), they are not sung with the same clarity as Jim or Meatloaf.

My favourite Jim Steinman song is Left in the Dark (sang by Jim not Meatloaf).

The majority of songs posted here are ones my parents and grandparents listened to whilst we drove around with them. Very nostalgic. Grin

I once drove a group of 13 yo teenage girls to a basketball game while they sang Jump in the back, including the screeching bagpipes part. After my ears had stopped ringing a few weeks later I began to see the funny side.
