What song are you listening to?

Sometimes, when I’m deep in thought I forget to turn on music in the car. My partner is convinced that i do it on purpose to piss them off. Really, my brain just sucks at multitasking.

So, I’d probably ride there in silence, but only because I forgot to turn on the music.

Sometimes I can't be bothered.
i like to listen to music while drawing but sometimes i start in silence, and i'm there thinking "gotta turn on the music" but i never actually do because i'm focused on drawing
Are you Nick Wiger?
- Heh, I wish. I’m not exactly sure who he is, (even after reading his wiki) but I’m pretty sure he has a lot more money than me. Which would be nice.

Pedal to the metal and no distractions. Only the silent rage.

Pretty much. This is a dumb question.

I think it would depend on how confident I am that I'd be able to beat the kidnappers.

If it's like inept comedy movie kidnappers and I feel like I'm on my way to deliver an ass kicking, then yes I'd play pump-up music.

If it's scary KGB/ISIS kidnappers and I'm probably on my way to perform a well-intentioned yet ultimately futile gesture where I'll likely get killed before I even get through the door, then probably no tunes for that one.

Who is your wife that she got kidnapped by comedy movie kidnappers?
Edit: sorry for the roast
- Channing Tatum in a really nice wig. Op is played by Jonah Hill.

Rip & Tear

Always an upvote for Doom OST

Holding out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Crank that shit cause I'm the hero tonight!

There are many good answers, but this is the perfect one.
Oh thank god, I thought I am the only one.

Put on some eurobeat and get there in 15 minutes

🎶 Max Power, Maximum and Higher 🎶

Obviously I listen to music. Without listening to the DOOMSLAYER track, how do i do what I am about to do?

Initial D

SPEEDO SPEED BOY. WIND IS ON MY FACE!

Absolutely. I'm listening to Sabaton and driving at 80 mph

I enjoyed the use of present tense in your comment
How fast is 80 mph?
- Roughly 130kmh
- The legal limit in the US in many places is 55mph. I'm too lazy to look up kilometers but that should give you an idea of the law breaking they are referencing.
Resist and Bite!

Spends 30 minutes trying to find a song
What? I don't do good under pressure. Oh, maybe Under Pressure... hmm... nah... I mean it's good, but thematically isn't matching 100%.

No. My single minded attention would only register it as noise

Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins would be my vibe I guess

Especially if you have tinnitus

In the air tonight - Phil Colin's

https://youtu.be/-aMCzRj3Syg?si=wB7dtDSzp0_9TD8m

This is the only correct answer here. If you wouldn't have posted it I would have.
That show used Phil Collins so much that eventually, they had to cast him as a drug kingpin.
- For real? If so, kinda awesome for him
Directed by Michael Mann

Night Call - Kavinsky

Ohhh… The Girl From Ipanema, Nat King Cole version.
Perfect for a warm summer night’s drive. Not sure about the other 27 minutes though.

That's a long drive. I'll have to put on an audiobook.

yes and I'd probably still sit in the driveway for a few min figuring out what I want to put on

scrolling idly on the phone
"What are you doing? We have your wife motherfucker!"
"Oh, just trying to figure out what music to kill you to"

Im driving there with my skateboard listening fleetwood mac without nagging..

I'm listening to Behemoth, and I'm buying a bass speaker on my way so they hear me comming.

For sure turning it off so I can give all my attention to driving and getting there fast plus not having an accident and never getting there.

Same. Don't have time to mess with turning it on, and I'd need ALL my focus to drive with the speed I'd be going at

One way or another by Blondie

I would just get NPR on, at the risk of hearing a really interesting segment of Radio Lab and having a driveway moment and sitting through the conclusion right as I get to the location.

I'd call the police first.

Why? Does your local PD have really good music taste or something?

Tiny Tim - Livin in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight

I was going to say highway star but I am changing my mind for this now

Fortunate Son

Caramelldansen would be blaring as I pull up.

And before that Nyan cat.

DOOM 2016 soundtrack. The entire thing

They'll probably kill her because I can't decide on a song for that situation

You need to think ahead and make the playlist now, then! OP is trying to help us.

First though was Doom but someone said that already.

Hell March from C&C.

Something from this? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=song+about+getting+a+girl+back

C&C - Fight Win Prevail, and Mechanical Man

I'd listen to this absolute banger to get in the mood.

Team America theme

Nekrogoblikon - No One Survives - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsMKOx6fumc

Immediately followed by?

Funkytown...

That song is ruined now. Hopefully you don't show up and it's like funkytown with the kidnappers.

Aren't we still doing vintage memes? Guile's Theme, obviously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd2tIudSyR8

Perfect

Tune the radio to NPR and hope Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is on.

You can stream that as a podcast now
- I prefer to spin the wheel of destiny.
Yeah, I would already be tuned to NPR, and it would be turned down slightly in order to concentrate on reckless driving.

Realistically I wouldn't listen to music 'cause I Need to make a Plan and concentrate

Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse. Y'know, to set the mood for the beatings to come.

expired

Ramses Bringer of War - Nile

Stabwound - Nectophagist

Hammer Smash Face - Cannibal Corpse

Minotaur - Fleshgod Apocalypse

Kill It Skin It Wear It - Man Must Die

Inside the Wire - Bolt Thrower

Murmaider - Dethklok

THIS SONG IS ABOUT MERMAID MURDER!
- A SCUBA TANK FULL OF FARTS
I love when the metalheads show up in the comments for "what song..." Then proceed to list the equivalent of a mixtape of their fav genre lmao

Nero - Doomsday

Has some "me against the world" vibes to it. Also, it's hard as fuck. Perfect kidnapper beatdown music.

Perfect.

The sound of the TiAL MVR 44mm External Wastegate of my turbocharged K20 is music.

Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames

Alexa, play Where Eagles Dare

Edit Youtube

On a warm night my windows would be up and tight while AC is working full force to chill me up

Same. Need a cold front to roll the windows down. A warm night is 90 degrees and humid.

I NEED A HERO

And they don't stop coming

How is speed metal not the only appropriate genre?

From Nowhere- dan croll https://youtu.be/973ibay5504?si=o3bYd6MY6gtilJQf

Appropriate, since it's the tenth anniversary of GTA V.

https://youtu.be/aRlSHG5hRY4?si=THykD33HjAUbKN-V radar love by golden Earring would instinctively push my pedal further down

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now / Starship

Music. And when I arrive I'd sit in the car until the current track finishes. Nothing interrupts A Rainbow in Curved Air.

I'd have this shit thumpin' so hard

Anything by Tiny Tim.

Even the one about Santa Claus having AIDS?
Tiptoe through the tulips...

Assuming I'm heavily armed, the song at the end of Max Payne 3.

- That's frustrating cause I didn't forget it. Lemmy's web interface is janky.

Charli XCX - Speed Drive
https://youtu.be/y7jzzvKxgZ8

Go back to the "driving to rescue her" part... Are you sure I'm not headed over for Chinese take out? For one?

Could take a while to get there using public transport, so I'll listen to music with my headphones, probably some from Hans Zimmer.

Music to murder kidnappers to?

Lions Writing The Bible by Third Eye Foundation

I'd bring a bluetooth speaker and a flashbang, first I'd throw the speaker into the room so they could hear the song and be like, "wtf? Oh shit, we're gonna die" then the flashbang.

Other possible song selection would by Tiny Tim's Living in the Sunlight lol

Never gonna give you up... Come to think of it, the chorus is fitting.

that's definitely a music off situation

maybe a nice petulant podcast to calm me down

My gachimuchi playlist, WOO!

Nothing, I don't need music cluttering up my headspace while I'm worrying about rescuing my wife

America, Fuck Yeah!

Don't know why that song pops to mind in this case 😅

Iron Butterfly- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

https://youtu.be/UIVe-rZBcm4?feature=shared

Krayzie Bone - Payback Iz A Bitch https://youtu.be/ZiB2A2O9wRs

Probably the Letterkenny Season One Soundtrack.

THE ELEVATOR OPENS FOR NO ONE

FLASH

Aaah aaaaa

Immigrant Song

Golden Earring - Radar love

I hope it happens during the morning rush hour so my spouse rescue mission kicks off to a sophomoric rock station morning show.

HONKHONKHONK AWOOGA glass smash & cat screech HERBIE AND DINGHOLE MORNING HOUR ON 93X explosion HOW THE FUCK DO SHOWS LIKE THIS STILL EXIST IN 2023? sick guitar riff

Honestly I used to love these ridiculous morning radio shows when I commuted lol - was super sad when my favorite one switched to music only
They're ridiculous and corny, but also fun
