(Yes I'm gonna do butt rock all thirty days, it's fun)
my hot take about this 25 year old album is Superbeast is the superior song.
but i saw Rob Zombie at the 1999 Family Values tour and during Dragula he had this big ass Dragula on stage and it was awesome. kids today want their holograms, LED screens, and taylor swift tickets well how about a big ass animatronic car monster that takes up the whole stage.

A song to drive to - fun fact, once I was in (some sort of?) mania and realized I hadn’t heard this song in a while. So I played it on repeat for about 3 days. No other songs, just this on repeat. Included in that time was a 10 hour drive from where I live now back to my hometown. And after all that, I Know The End by Phoebe is still my #1 played song of all time on Spotify, so that’s alarming

Hate on the Eagles all you want, but it doesn’t get any better than cruisin’ down the highway in your hypothetical ‘76 El Camino while cranking this one up to 11.

For driving music, I want things I can sing along to, and my favorite is 70s and 80s Billy Joel, and my favorite of that is Keeping the Faith. Also, this video is bonkers.

I just saw a clip of him freaking out in Moscow last night (I’d seen it before). We really let him do all that in the 80’s didn’t we?

I had forgotten all about that video. It was in regular rotation on “Nick Rocks” when I was a kid, and I’m sure I haven’t seen it since. (For the kids:

When I drove the Pacific Coast Highway from L.A. to San Francisco on a crystal clear California morning, the Decemberists' The King Is Dead was my soundtrack for the first bit, so it gets the vote here.
Honorable Mention: In 2001, some friends of mine and I drove overnight to Toledo, Ohio, spent the night with my friend's parents, and then went the next day to Cedar Point in Sandusky to ride rollercoasters all day. Rather than do the sane thing, we decided to overnight it back to NYC. At a certain point somewhere in the darkest, most featureless part of Pennsylvania, I was the only one who could stay awake enough to drive. And then it started to pour rain. Visibility was terrible. I was exhausted. And I couldn't get help from anyone else in the car. The only thing that saved me from zoning out and accidentally driving off a cliff that night was singing along to the entire movie soundtrack version of Jesus Christ Superstar. So, you know, thanks, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost", I said, though I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all come to look for America

Song to drive to:
It's a bit cliched, but I like driving to long songs with movements - November Rain/Estranged, Purple Rain, Automatic by Prince is a great one, Paranoid Android (though, as we discovered in Wayne's World - No Stairway) - things where I can just get lost in the music and makes driving go faster. This is best in class.
trying not to do too much Phish but this specific Harpua gets a lot of play time in the car. made more complicated because i skip the narration and the "Killing in the Name" cover.
part of it is i was at this show and when the oom pa pas started at that drumbeat hit you could fucking taste the mania in the air. these are also some of my favorite nonsense lyrics of all time. i love nonsense lyrics that are rhythmically pleasant sung with intensity (see also King Crimson, Primus).
Fat sweaty bulldog Stood in the sun Stone village swamp man SLOOOOWWW MOTION RUN Tender poke police walker Precious birthday fudge Swamp night bull nail WALKER DONE DONE
on this version in particular i love the way Trey laughs after the "we're coming to your town / we'll help you party down" line. it's such a stupid song and Trey knows it.
even though i skip it, it is a great Harpua narration. the fact that they have jimmy playing a song from "the only other band besides phish who won't bullshit you" and then they play rage against the machine. so fucking awesome.
but really what makes this song great is the instrumental piece in the last two minutes or so of the second part. that little fucking guitar riff is one of the most deeply emotional ones Trey has ever written. so simple yet so quietly epic, it just tugs at my heartstrings. leading up to the final "A DOOOOOOOOOOOG". it just wrecks me, a song that is so silly, so absurd, can end with such beauty. it's kind of everything i love about phish in one song.
sorry for more phish stuff, i've probably posted a love letter to Harpua here before.

This album was on repeat and got me through a nice long solo road trip in 2020 that took me from Portland through Yellowstone/Grand Tetons and then on to visit my family in the midwest. All the songs of this album are great to drive to, but this one in particular is my favorite:
