10. Soft Cell - Tainted Love

What YOUR favorite "speed-inducing" tunes? Here's some of what I got back from the KINK Community so far:

Steve Miller: Fly Like an Eagle has always made me feel like speeding

Radar Love - Focus

Ramblin' Man - Allman Bros

Dixie Chicken - Little Feat

The Night Inside Me by Jackson Browne (from The Naked Ride Home CD) - Yes, Jackson is pegged as a Sensitive Balladeer, but the boy can rock hard too. This one proves it. Hard to stay within the speed limit when this one cranks up.

You forgot Sammy Haggar, or is it Van Halen's "I can't drive 55" (it's "hagar" :D) 

Golden Earring - Radar Love

Ozzie Osborne - Crazy Train

Speedway at Nazareth - Mark Knopfler best tune for speeding, ever

Heading Out To The Highway - Judas Priest 2. Ace of Spades - Motorhead (clearly Nathan is a metal head.:D)

Running on Empty - Jackson Brown On Broadway_George Bensen Cant Slow Down_Lionel Ritchie -CD

"Brontosaurus" by The Move is one of my alltime adrenilin producing songs. The Roy Wood & Jeff Lynne led song blisters the airwaves when played.(wow, Rick, good one)

Paolo Nutini's New Shoes is a pretty speedy little tune for some. This song makes you tap your toes, dance, jump, drive fast, hell it just makes you move and Billy Idol's White Wedding could ejust equal a ticket or two.

So, kids, here's the clear winner so far. Enjoy a couple of YOUTUBE moments with our speeding demons. Us KINKsters had a huge laugh in a really good way with this one (do these guys look cool or what!?!?) and this is a little riff of the speed demon song I thought you might enjoy.

The Zoo Summer Concert Series schedule has been announced and tickets are on sale now!
For those of us looking for musical companionship amidst the frenzied pace of daily life, consider American singer-songwriter Josh Ritter's newest "Beast in its Tracks" release.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Fitz and The Tantrums, little hurricane, Michael Kiwanuka and more!
As we head into December and the countdown towards the New Year, it's a fitting time to look back and reflect on the year in music.
A southern gothic supernatural musical from co-conspirators Stephen King, John Mellencamp and T Bone Burnett.
Australian rockers take a psychedelic journey with Tidal Wave video.
A new album, Somehow Divine, is most definitely ear candy flavored by Scott's really fine voice and songwriting.
A day job that provides for the night job. A musician's work is never done!
"Bucket Boys" has been dropped. But the inventive bluegrass/punk vibe is still there.
