And I defy you to be in the car with one or more Beyonce fans - which, like, it could also include yourself - and not try to, like, keep up with all of those key changes and have a huge smile on your face. And it changes keys, so every time it gets higher, and she's just, like, singing higher and higher and higher. But the thing about "Love On Top" is that there's that part at the end where, you know, she, like, sings the chorus a bunch of times, and it modulates. It is a great hype-up song, which I think is another good genre of road trip playlist track. LORUSSO: I think there's not much I could say about Beyonce that hasn't been said, but for me, this was one of the first songs that really, like, made me feel totally blown away by Beyonce. I chose the song "Love On Top" from her album "4," which came out in 2011.īEYONCE: (Singing) Baby, it's you. OK, so there is about a trillion Beyonce songs that would be great for a road trip playlist. How about you? You got another one for us? LORUSSO: And then you could also put it at the end of a playlist to kind of send you off into the world - great choice. You could put it in the middle of a playlist when you need to kind of reach an emotional peak. LORUSSO: I think that's such a great road trip song as well because you could really put that at the beginning of a playlist to hype you up. The other thing about this song is it's perfect, ideally, if you are road tripping on the autobahn because it is very, very, very hard not to absolutely max out your car's possible speed for the two minutes and two seconds of "Song 2." THOMPSON: So you can mouth along with what are probably the lyrics, but then you get to yell, woo-hoo. If you don't sing along with the woo-hoo and then the part of the song that's like (vocalizing). THOMPSON: So two things about "Song 2" - one is you mentioned that high singalong potential. And one of my favorite songs on that playlist is "Song 2" by Blur.īLUR: (Singing) When I feel heavy metal - woo-hoo (ph) - and I'm pins and I'm needles - woo-hoo - well, I lie, and I'm easy all of the time. But I also did one that was called "Nine-Minute Road Trip," which was five songs that added up to a total of nine minutes, and they were supposed to present, like, an entire world of experiences that you would be having in nine minutes. You know, I did one, of course, that was, like, crushingly sad songs.

So way back in 2008, NPR Music put together a series called Road Trip Songs To Drive By, which was a collection of five-song road trip playlists to kind of spark people's imagination, and I put one together. If driving makes you feel young, this is the way to do it. And so, for me, this is a perfect road trip song because not only does it have that great singalong potential, but it has a harkening back to my youth potential, which is always good for a driving song. I fell spectacularly in love with this song. There are not many songs that are more crucial to at least my own musical development than this one.

And I got to say, this song came out when I was 17 years old. Even if you don't know the words, you probably know the part of the chorus that goes - closer to fine - great singalong track.

This song to me sounds like just, like, being in the car with your friends, windows rolled down, everyone is trying to, like, both sing the main melody and the countermelody at the same time. Something that's important to me in a road trip song is high singalong potential, which I think, obviously, "Closer To Fine" - extremely high singalong potential. At the heart of the Indigo Girls and what makes them so special is this deep friendship and collaboration between Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, and of course you hear that in the way they sing, right? Like, there's the main melody and the countermelody, and they just kind of, like, interact with each other.

LORUSSO: So "Closer To Fine," of course, the opening track on Indigo Girls' breakthrough sophomore album, "Indigo Girls" from 1989 - I think it's probably the song people think of when they think of Indigo Girls. INDIGO GIRLS: (Singing) And the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine, yeah, closer I am to fine, yeah. MARISSA LORUSSO, BYLINE: OK, so the first song I'm bringing as an ideal road trip song is "Closer To Fine" by the Indigo Girls. Marissa, could you kick us off? Give us a song that you're going to play on your next road trip.

STEPHEN THOMPSON, BYLINE: There is no way that we could possibly run the full gamut of road trip music in just three songs.
