Speeding sound track

I heard on the news, that a 19 year old had been arrested in Iowa for driving 120 mph in a 65 mph zone. The title of the song was not disclosed.

His excuse was that a really good song came on the radio, causing him to Rick out and forget about what he was doing.

What song(s) do you think could contribute to such an event?

For and my generation, I'm thinking:

Pink Floyd: "On The Run"

Steppenwolf: "Born to Be Wild"

Cheap Trick: "Gonna Raise Hell"

System of a Down: "Chop Suey"

Ozzy Osbourne: "Crazy Train"

Probably this (shortly after a fast food lunch).

"I Can't Drive 55" is the lead single and first track from Sammy Hagar's eighth studio album VOA in 1984. Perpetuated by a very successful music video, it became a concert staple that continued throughout Hagar's tours as a member of Van Halen. The song is a reference to the since-repealed National Maximum Speed Law that set speed limits at 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) in the United States.

It is the 100th song on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.[

Whenever I have driven over 120 mph… usually ~150 mph… I assure you the radio is not on (in Germany on the autobahn). 100% concentration on driving. Even on a divided highway at 120 mph you are going 60 mph faster than folks in the right lane. If a car hidden in front of you in the right lane pulls out to pass… you rear end him at over 60 mph… or if 150… then 90 mph. It is exhausting to drive that fast. Oh, that is right… I wanted to live… and I was not young and stupid.
