Staying Entertained on the Highway

I drive 30 minutes one-way every day to get to work.  That's 60 minutes of pure solitary time in my little car. I have learned to love that time to myself and almost always have to have music playing non-stop.  I think I've made the drive in complete silence a time or two when I needed that time to sit in peace... but for the most part the music is on and going strong.
Now that I don't text when I drive :)  I am more dependent on good music.  I recently created a playlist of songs that I can just sing my heart out to!  It's fun to listen to good music but it's even better when I can sing all the words and belt it out like I'm on stage or something.  Here is my latest list of SING THE WHOLE SONG AS LOUD OR DRAMATIC AS I WANT TO songs:

In all reality, the list could go on and on and on.  Those are just random songs I pulled onto the list when I was inspired to sing my whole way home the other night.  I just set my iPod on shuffle and the concert begins. :)  Do you sing out any of those songs?  I'm sure you do. :)

  2. i should definitely get some of this music. 45 minutes each way is a major butt kicker some days.
