Sometimes you just gotta’ get somewhere in a real big hurry. Maybe you have to take a really bad leak and your reluctant bladder won’t allow you to go anywhere but home – or in your pants. Or perhaps you’ve just pulled a Bonnie and Clyde on the local five and dime and need to make tracks before the po-po arrives? Hey, who am I to judge? But in either case, or any other where you really need to put the hammer down, it’s sometimes helpful to have some motivational music in order to set the mood.
It’s sort of like sex, music can help you keep your rhythm and stay focused. Driving fast music should have a pretty good beat, after all you’re trying to get the job done as quickly as possible, unlike. . . well, you know. But what would that ditty be? Heck, if the trek is long – say you’re outrunning Boss Hogg – it may even be an entire suite of songs that puts the lead in your foot.
An obvious choice for many may be the song exemplified by the lead picture- Jesus Built My Hot Rod by Ministry. Those of you familiar with the song probably know that it was really the work of the Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes, who sings lead and plays the axe on the track. But what else? Do you pop in a Kenny G cassette to encourage yourself to reach your destination as quickly as possible in the hope that there you will find a foundry making molten iron which could be poured into each ear to stop the torture?
What is your speed-goading sound selection?
