These Are Your Favorite Summer Driving Songs
Unless you frequent private karaoke venues or vast desolate prairie expanses of empty, echoing nothingness, your car is probably the only place where you don't really have restrictions on the volume at which you listen to your music. A car is a place for cranking your stereo, singing along to your heart's content, and parking without embarrassment for who might have heard. But as the mercury rises and the vibes improve as summer comes around, what will you be listening to in your car? Earlier this week, we asked you for your favorite summer driving songs. Today, we're combing through your answers to pick out our favorites. Throw them together into a playlist if you'd like, or grab your personal picks to play on repeat until you arrive at your summer destinations — always just a bit hoarser than when you left. Let's see what kinds of music all you beautiful Jalops are into. Read more: There's A Relic Runway From America's Failed Supersonic Future Hiding In The Everglades There's one thing I really miss about living in the LA area (and this leads to the song choice.) I miss the warm June evenings with the sun starting to set over the Santa Monica pier. The ocean breeze picks up a little bit and takes away some of the heat of the day. The top goes down and the stereo gets turned up. And Jim Morrison belts out "LA Woman" like the worn out blues man that he wanted to musical tastes were formed in the 1980s so my driving playlists have a lot of Depeche Mode, INXS, Tears for Fears, and if I'm in the mood to violate some speed laws and rupture some eardrums, launch into the intro of Paradise City and hang on. There's some country roads to conquer. The Ed Sullivan scene of the Doors movie has lived rent-free in my head for approximately my entire life. RIP to Val Kilmer, truly. Submitted by: Xavier96 I don't know why, but the beginning to Talking Heads "I Zimbra" sounds like the soundtrack to the beginning of an Italian Job-style heist scene. Everybody makes their last preparations, looks at some plot-related memento, and starts their engines. And then the heist begins in earnest. I always feel a little cooler when that song comes on while I'm driving, or better yet, walking to my car.I am very excited for someone to come in here and show me a clip of exactly this, perhaps even in that very-unnecessary remake of The Italian Job. Hey, I liked that remake! The fact that I was seven when it came out surely doesn't factor in. Submitted by: Give Me Tacos or Give Me Death There is no better song to drop the windows (and the top/t-tops/targa top) and cruise to than Panama by Van the sun, drum on the steering wheel, and sing along with your friends. Heck, if you pull up next to me blasting Panama, I'll probably turn my music down and sing along!! "Panama" goes hard as hell and anyone who disagrees is simply, objectively, wrong. Submitted by: Stillnotatony Radar Love, original version or the equally good White Lion cover. Hey! No self-promo! Submitted by: Golden Earring Hollywood Nights, Bob it's dad-rock. Sure, it's old. But, with the windows down on a summer night, it's sublime. I feel like this AOTD is going to be really helpful in terms of putting titles and artists that I grew up listening to on classic rock radio. "Hollywood Nights" was a mainstay of 95.1 WRKI Brookfield-Danbury, A Cumulus Media Station, The Home Of Rock And Roll, I-95. Submitted by: JohnnyWasASchoolBoy The Cars: Moving in Stereo/All Mixed UpNot sure its my favorite, but it has to be near the top for summer driving. "Moving In Stereo" is pretty downtempo for a summer vibe, but maybe Rapchat is thinking more in the top-down-cruise-at-sunset vein. Submitted by: Rapchat Ventura Highway - Immaculate summer vibes and alligator lizards in the air is one of the greatest lines in any song ever I'll be honest here, I don't know that I've ever heard an America track besides "A Horse With No Name." Submitted by: AlligatorLizard Isn't Joe Satriani's Summer Song the only correct answer??? As a former Ibanez player, I'm legally mandated to listen to this track all the way through in the course of writing this AOTD. They make you sign a contract when you buy the guitar. Submitted by: Smricha2 Life is a Highway by Tom Cochran. Was on a family road trip as a kid and heard it all the time it seemed like when the song came out. With how overplayed "Life Is A Highway" is, I'm genuinely shocked it only came out in 1991. I thought it had another couple decades on it. Submitted by: Max Alfa 4C So many to choose from, but one of my long-standing favorites is "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple a wonderfully simple and calm guitar riff overlayed with silky smooth (and very singable) vocals make it a perfect soundtrack for a good was originally written to be a bossa-nova type song. It got changed a good bit throughout the writing process, but still kept a lot of that relaxed sound characteristic of bossa nova. Now this one's a throwback for me personally, as one of my dad's go-to guitar songs when I was a kid. Submitted by: Stubb063 During the summer day?Probably something normal like ride of the valkyries (classical music) or leave it on some local music stationAt night? Definitely something in the synthwave genre originally from before my time lol... newer artists like carpenter brut and kavinsky has some solid hits, and gunship and etc... definitely had more than a few nights cruising/speeding around to this before. I'm sorry, something normal like "Ride Of The Valkyries"? I'm all in on the synthwave, but Richard Wagner is normal casual listening for you? Submitted by: Killerhurtalot Tonight I feel ambitious and so does my foot as it sinks on the pedal, I press it to the floor.I don't need a girl, don't need a friend, cuz my friend lonesome's unconditional we're flying forever boredFor a moment I love everything I see and think and feel I love my broke side view mirrorCuz it's so perfect, I'm so perfect, you're so perfect, you're not hereI hear the change is gearMy pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road. This is an open road - Open Road Song is up there among the best. Max from Eve 5 follows me on Bluesky and I'll be sure to tell him our commenters are singing his praises. Submitted by: potbellyjoe It's not summer yet, and I had absolutely no summer last year, so I have to pull if from my memory of the summer 2023. And that year, it was $20 and Not Strong Enough by boygenius. They are so fantastic Personally, I'm a big fan of having a motorcycle in your front lawn. More people should listen to boygenius, I think. Both as music and as advice-givers. Submitted by: J.B.2.1. Foghat - Slow Ride. Gotta love the riff, take it easy, take it sleazy. Ah, memories of Guitar Hero 3. I remember being able to fully walk out of the room with a wireless guitar controller, playing on Hard, and not fail song. Good times.

‘The Masked Singer' spoilers: Who is Coral?
Coral made her debut on the Feb. 12 episode of The Masked Singer Season 13 as a member of Group A. The sultry sea creature's first song on Fox's reality TV show was 'Mad World' by Tears for Fears, and she had the four panelists (Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora) guessing such famous names as Carly Rae Jepsen, Sabrina Carpenter, and Halsey. But who is Coral? If you're looking for The Masked Singer spoilers and clues, you've come to the right place! Read on for everything to know about Coral, including which famous celebrity we think is hiding underneath the mask. More from GoldDerby 'The Voice' Season 27 Episode 2 recap: Michael Bublé intimidates Adam, John, and Kelsea in 'The Blind Auditions Part 2' Rob Lowe kicks off 'The Floor' Super Bowl episode with Sexiest Man Alive taunt: Plus, confusion over Tony winners 'RuPaul's Drag Race' recap: SprayPaintGate pits Lexi against Onya after a 'sea sickening' mishap Gold Derby's official guess for Coral is … Meg Donnelly! Don't believe us? Let's examine all of the clues so far, one by one: Here is what Coral had to say about herself: 'The Coral costume is so majestic, but she's also got these hard, tough edges — the kind that are strong and resilient. That's why I relate to her. Ever since I was young, I dreamed of being a star. I'd ask everyone, 'Please, please, please let me sing for you!' But, for eight years it was rejection after rejection. I was this little girl struggling through the madness of the industry. Just as I was about to give it all up, a small victory turned into my voice being heard across the globe. Now, that unpredictable madness has led me here. As Coral, I'm casting my net towards a new goal: securing that trophy.' Donnelly tried for years to make it as a singer, including a 2019 audition for American Idol that sounds eerily similar to Coral. Despite struggling in the music business, she did land roles in various TV shows and films, including Disney's Zombies franchise and, more recently, as the voice of Supergirl in the animated films Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths parts one, two, and three. SEE 'The Masked Singer': Top 21 most famous celebrities of all time On-screen hints during Coral's video package include the following: a model home with an American flag, a TV screen with a broken heart on it, and a 'live' sign. The flag could be a nod to Donnelly starring in over 100 episodes of the ABC sitcom American Housewife from 2016 to 2021. The broken heart hints at Donnelly's role in the 2017 TV movie The Broken Ones. The 'live' sign might be a clue about one of her earliest career breaks — as the understudy for Louisa in 2013's The Sound of Music Live! with Carrie Underwood. Following her performance of 'Mad World,' Coral revealed: 'You know, all those no's just made me stronger and all it took was one yes to start a wave of success!' Donnelly certainly knows about dealing with rejection, but her perseverance in the industry finally paid off. Who do you think is hiding underneath the Coral costume on The Masked Singer Season 13?
