Radar Love. It is fairly long too, so you can make a longer vid.

"Written by George Kooymans and Barry Hay, first released by Golden Earring on
the 1973 Moontan album, Radar Love is the highlight in Dutch 70's rock history.
Thirty years later the song is the ultimate road trip radio classic".

Tossup between

"Highway Star" by Deep Purple (Live version from Made in Japan)

and

"Radar Love" (version by White Lion, much better than original)



Honorable mention

Kickstart (Motley Crue)

54 Corvette by the Customs

Most people have never heard the song so its fun to play at cruise ins when corvette people are there.

The beach boys, jan and dean and many other bands did a number of great car songs that i could list for days
