Play On and On and On

It is the beginning of summer, which means it is time to jump in the car and go on a...

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, you can't go on a road trip without the right music!!! You have to have the right tunes to get through

• awkward silences
• when the conversation runs out
• when the road trip games take their toll
• when you can't stand to hear anymore about your dad's five-step success plan (as in Little Miss Sunshine)
• and just in general!

So, here is a list of 25 MUST HAVE SUMMER ROAD TRIP MUSIC (in no particular order) that you should definitely consider downloading before your next trip to the beach, Grandma's, or the nearest national monument. You can thank me later! Also in the list are hyperlinks that will take you to one of the many YouTube lyric videos for the song!!! There are some new songs that just came out and some oldies! Prepare and enjoy!!!
