Ok, I know it's not just me. What songs come on the radio that make you just go faster and faster? Today I was cruising down a wooded, country road, doing about 50 in a 50. Then, Fred Bear comes on. By the time Fred was walking down the trails with Ted (3rd verse) I was doing 75. If Motly Crue, Kickstart My Heart or almost any Scorpions song comes on, well, I hope my radar detector is a good one because I'm gonna speed!
It's not like I hear the song and feel like driving faster. The song comes on, I'm jammin' and everything, and I look at the speedo and have no idea where the extra 20 MPH came from.
So, what songs do that for you?

I have a CD in the Jeep that I made to specifically keep me more alert when I'm tired.

Got No Shame by Brother Cane, several AC/DC songs, a live version of Train Kept A Rollin' by Aerosmith, Working Man by Rush, several of Van Halen's more fast-paced stuff, a few songs by The Answer and a couple songs by The Cult.

Pretty much any metal, but for me these are the worst offenders:

-"Jesus Built My Hotrod" by Ministry
-"Bring The Noise" by Public Enemy and Anthrax
-"Blood and Thunder" by Mastodon
-"Black Label" by Lamb of God
-Anything off the BlazBlue video game soundtrack

Radar Love by Golden Earring ALWAYS makes me speed on the highway.

On the back roads, Thnks Fr the Mmrs by Fall Out Boy always makes me go faster than I should.

Ace of Spades - Motörhead.
I am guaranteed to be screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs while speeding when this song is playing.

Really, is it Fred Bear season in Michigan again? Is it again the time of year where they play this song about once every two hours?
Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on The Nugge, just more a slam on "classic rock" station programing.

if it's got "breakdown" in the name, chances are I will speed while listening to it. There's a tune called "making time" by I think cherry holmes that will make me speed too. Jesus built my hotrod got me pulled over several times a well. Ace of spades makes me mow faster at work. Most of dick dales stuff gets me going as well.
