Radar Love...

...the classic rock song by Golden Earring was recently voted Best Travelling Song in a poll by USA newspaper. i think it's pretty cool that 'Radar Love' is still considered by many to be the best driving song... just what Barry Hay was aiming for when he wrote the lyrics.
from the Golden Earring website.....
"Barry tells us the following about how the lyrics of ‘Radar Love’ were written: “One evening I had a few friends over, one of whom was American, and I was brainstorming with them about the form and contents of the story. It had to be something very simple, to which every average person could relate, such as someone in the bathtub and ….. Everyone started to put in ideas and it when it got too chaotic I kicked them out of the house and sent them to some nightclub so that I could work in peace. The idea of an ordinary guy in his car became to take shape and when my American house guest got home in the early hours and read the lyrics, he went wild: “This is it, brilliant! The ultimate American car song!!!”
