Jesse's Girl, always. The other day I was taking my daughter somewhere and there was an acoustic live version on the radio and I got SO EXCITED. Probably disproportionately to the situation, but whatever. :-)

I've never heard of the song you refer to, C.. But I always crank up the theme song for The Wonder Years - "What would you do, if I sang out of tune ..... would you stand up and walk out on me?......"

Edit: I googled the song. I know that song! I can hum/sing along but had NO idea that the song was about Werewolves of London. Guess I'm not a good listener all these years.

There's so many, but always "I Gotta Feeling!" Reminds me of GREAT friends and great nights!

also, just about anything Salt 'n Peppa - reminds me of high school.

Tom Petty is the BEST driving music. I always turn it way up. When I had my c-section, the doctors had Jungle Love by Steve Miller Band on. We were all singing, and it was a fun way to bring my son into the world. I always turn that up pretty loud.

There are way too many songs to list that I HAVE to turn up!

Side-note: We heard our 18 month old son singing in the car to "We are young" by Fun. He was going up and down in pitch just like the singers . . . hilarious!

I don't turn up the radio but then when no one is in the car it is already loud.

I wish I could think of a song at the moment but my mind is blank. Pretty much anything from the 80s.

I guess I like a different genre than many of you but the first one that came to mind for me is "Bro Hymn" by Pennywise. It's not on very often but when I catch it I have to blast it.

And yes anything that just brings back memories, hafta turn it up and go down memory lane!

Bohemian Rhapsody. And I have to sing super loud to it!

Pretty much any rock song gets cranked up. I call those songs my driving music since it's much better driving to uptempo songs.

Music is HUGE for me, I have it on 24/7 literally. If it's just me, I always have it cranked and I've been known to dance while cooking (which my bf loves catching) and belt out everything that comes on, but only when I'm alone...we all sound awesome when we sing to ourselves, right?! :)
My mix is so varied, TONS of 80's/90's stuff, I love the hair bands (highschool days!!) but my daughter's introduced me to new stuff too...I recently discovered something called "crunk" (who knew??) which is really good, loud, house cleaning or "I'm mad and I don't care" music but really hard to sing to...youtube Brokencyde and you'll see what I mean...
Journey, REO, Chicago...all GREAT...

OH, the remake of Lady Marmalade, the one Christina Aguilera/Lil' Kim/Mya/Pink did for the movie Moulin Rouge!! AWESOME!!! That one I have to crank up! My daughter even loves that one...

That's so funny! I heard Werewolves the other day and my kids (the 6 and 4 yr olds) were howling all the way home. The 2-yr was also trying to keep up with the song! As for other songs - I turn up lots of songs. most 80's, some 90's rap, rat pack and 60's pop, anything I can sing.

John Prine "Same Thing Happened to Me"

I listen to Pandora in my office and turn lots of songs up~ But a tenant will walk in or the phone will ring and I have to turn it back down.
My hub wonders how I can do math with the radio blasting, but honestly, it totally helps me to concentrate.
A quiet environment makes me crazy because I hear all the small sounds and that distracts my brain (what I have left of it).
