Prince's "Greatest Driving Songs"

.
I vote "Vavoom".

I was listening to this track on the way home from the city last night, driving over the Harbour Bridge (I live in Sydney). Damn if it didn't give me a new appreciation for it. Holy smokes it's more kickass than I first realised.

What are your favourite Prince Driving Songs? Heheh. I laugh because it makes me think of like, the Eagles or something..."good driving songs".

Criteria:

Preferably a medium to fast-ish, steady, rock, 2 & 4 beat!

Suited to a drive of 50mph+ or 60-80km/hr depending on where you live.

Slow songs not accepted smile

Those are all great, except for perhaps "The Beautiful Ones"...a little too slow...that's more for a moonlight slow drive.

I mean, driving songs need to be at least 50mph or 70km/hr shit!

A little obvious perhaps, but "Take Me With U" is a great driving song!

Let's Pretend We're Married always gets me where I'm going! There's tons though, really. I have at least three mix tapes/discs specifically for road trips and driving. Though the road trip mixes tend to be the more dramatic material...you know, it's fun to get all into it when you're driving and have peeps stare at you with that sour confused face!

Driving through endless country roads listening to the long mix of "America" is a good time.

Hmm...

Crystal Ball
Life Can Be So Nice (alone)
17 Days (alone and upset)
Take Me With You (with a friend)
Raspberry Beret (with a friend)

...But I must interject that NOTHING compares to a slow autumn drive while listening to Pink Cashmere or Power Fantastic.
