Must include the classic "Movin'" by Brass Construction.
since I will be travelling quite a bit in the coming
week (measured in European Standards)
I would like you all to suggest your favorite on the road disco song
while travelling in a moving weichle.......
From what I could later make a playlist perhaps
If you can't decide between to or three songs suggest all three
My suggestion is
Eddie Kendricks Keep on Truckin
Must include the classic "Movin'" by Brass Construction.

Obvious choice but what the hell...
"On the road again" by Spanish disco group Barrabás
It rocks!
It don't mean a thing (if ain't got that swing)
If you drive on and on relentlessly in some bleak industrial landscape try the From Here To Eternity suite by Giorgio, followed by the original or the remix of Autobahn by Kraftwerk and Machine Gun by The Commodores. This music throbs robotically as huge powerplants or nuclear reactors become visible thru the rain, glaring illuminations of gas stations hurt your eyes and ambulances speed past to collect accident victims.
When you reach a city blaxploitation soundtracks and Italian action film scores work well, especially if it's night and you're feeling jittery and edgy from too many caffeine tablets. You get jammed in a roadblock and roll open the window. Lalo Schifrin lets the trash sitting in the next car know they better not mess with you - under your seat there could well be a cold Luger automatic or a Magnum 44, the most powerful handgun in the world that can blow their heads clean off! 8)
Boogie People - "Traffic Breakdown" (1980)
"Hot Leather" (The Moby Mix) by The Passengers
Cher - "Hell on Wheels" (1979)
...and yes I know it isn't about driving. :P
A bit pre disco but still great for driving
Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack
Inner City Blues - Groover Washington Junior
Holler for Harlem
;)
...and speaking of the Passengers - "Speedy Like Gonzales" (1980)

If you buy this record your life, will be better.
