CHRISETTE MICHELE AND DRAKE, “ASTON MARTON MUSIC” Overdrive: If you’re listening to this one in the car, maybe best to pull over when Womack’s voice frays just a little on the “I’ve got to keep my heart out of this/ And both hands on the wheel” part of the chorus driving through tears isn’t particularly safe for anyone. Make and Model: In her first Hot 100 hit, country star Lee Ann Womack speeds away from Dallas heading due north in the hopes of putting physical and emotional distance between her and heartbreak - though she finds the former unsurprisingly easier than the latter.įuel Economy: The chest-tightening ballad does a brilliant job of demonstrating the liberation that hitting the road can represent for those desperately in need of a second chance at life or love - though only up to a point. LEE ANN WOMACK, “A LITTLE PAST LITTLE ROCK” Overdrive: Banks became the early pace car for limber rhymes in 2010s hip-hop with the lyric, “I’m so fly, I’m so ferry and the way I flow is very/ Ginsu or machete, way my pencil move is deadly.” - DARLENE ADEROJUĩ7.
Make and Model: A hip-hop classic from 2010, “Beamer, Benz or Bentley” finds Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana lyrically flexing about all the perks of being fresh, fly and so damn high.įuel Economy: With rhymes and bars that flow as fast as a 500-horsepower engine, Banks and Santana’s raps perfectly ride the track’s electric beat. Overdrive: Rumors are that Mitchell wrote the song about Jackson Browne or Glenn Frey, but we owe whoever kept her waiting a debt of thanks for inspiring such lines as “Fast tires come screaming around the bend/ But there’s still no buzzer/ They roll on/ And I’m waiting for his car on the hill.” - MELINDA NEWMANĩ8. Make and Model: Mitchell turns waiting for her absent lover to arrive into a sonic masterpiece that sounds as innovative, ambitious and magical today as it did when it came out nearly 50 years ago on 1974’s Court and Spark.įuel Economy: Mitchell perfectly captures her fears that her once red-hot romance has turned tepid as her man is three hours late - and counting - but it’s the shifting tempos, bleating horns and choral interlude,all surrounding a funky beat, that keep the listener captivated. Overdrive: “Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?” All the history, intimacy, trust and distance of a relationship in one six-word question from motorist to passenger. 3 in the fall of 1984.įuel Economy: Truth told, “Drive” is pretty tangentially car-themed for a song with its title - the lyric is mostly focused on a man asking rhetorical questions to demonstrate his value in a relationship, which is the only reason the stunning synth-rock ballad isn’t higher on this list - but the central chorus Q (and the artist/song name combo) makes its appearance here essential nonetheless. Make and Model: The only Billboard Hot 100 entry for new wave greats The Cars with an automotive title to match their band name, “Drive” was also their biggest hit on the chart, motoring all the way to No. Woke up quick at about noon, big strap gotta be in North Memphis soon Aw, there go my shit nigga Hey!, Boyz in da hood is always hard North Memphis come around you gone get robbed Was the first young nigga with a 50 pack hard Serving drugs and running back and fourth to cars Niggas playing games then gone get shot, (bang) Tell LA Reid when my new shit drop If ion go platinum then I'm callin' my plug (hello) Cause ion like rappin' rather be sellin' drugs Free Bobby Shmurda and the GS9 (my niggas) I feel like its my job to get these street niggas signed I feel like its my job to tell these niggas the facts 15, 20 million dollars no plats Cruisin' down the street in my new lambo Bad bitch big pussy that's my MO (gotti) If you run up on this car I'll send ya to god (blat blat) Truth is none of these rappers are hard And everybody gangsta when they come to ya city Always calling niggas hold em' down in your city I'm always with the gangstas when I come to ya city You say you run the town but you never in the city Ion.How Vin Diesel Gave Reggaetón Its Hollywood Moment in the 'Fast & Furious' FranchiseĬheck out our list below, with a Spotify playlist of all 100 songs at the bottom, and try not to run through too many red lights and stop signs when blasting them out of your Bugatti, GTO or Little Red Corvette this weekend.
