Favorite Songs Which Use "Travel Terms" - # 2 Whodunnit?

Tweet

Continuing on with my favorite songs which use travel terms in the title. Here is a terrific video by REM which provides a clue for today's music trivia quiz. Enjoy the tune, it should put you on the road to getting some correct answers.... Do you know these songs and artists. Here Are Your Clues: 1. The song is about fear and making decisions based on fear. In the lyrics the artist is fighting off this fear by taking the wheel. It's about imagining what life would be like if you didn't live in a "fearful way". This song was the California Alternative band's highest charting single, peaking at # 9 in 1999. The song's title refers to what one does in a car. The group is named after an evil spirit who has sex with women while they sleep. Fun fact- every member of the band surfs. 2. This song is about a guy who meets an aspiring actress, and she has a keen interest in him. She tries to lure him in with suggestive comments, and the tune is filled with sexual innuendo. The band avoids being explicit in this area. Instead, the tune is just a song about a guy, a girl, and a car - making it another radio-friendly track from these British icons. The "beep beep" refrain in the song is a take-off on the band's own "yeah, yeah yeah"s in one of their previous breakout hits. 3. This was the band's highest-charting US single reaching # 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sung by the group's bassist, this 1984 melancoly song about a woman whose losing her grip on life, was also the band's biggest international hit. In the lyrics the guy appeals to her saying "You can't go on, Thinking nothing's wrong." In 1978, this band was named the Best New Artist by Rolling Stone and Creem, among others. The American rock band emerged from the new wave scene in the late 1970s. Their sound merged 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synthesizer-oriented pop that was then becoming popular and which flourished in the early 1980s. The band had many successful albums and took off in 1978 with their self-titled LP which included hits like "Just What You Needed" and "Good Times Roll." Time to name your songs and artists. If your stuck and need additional help just let me know in your response. Glad to throw a few more hints your way and aid "your search of that lost chord" or in this case tune. And as always thanks for reading and responding to my music post !!!!
