Are you dreaming of the first road trip you can take post lockdown (Thanks, COVID)? If that’s the case, you’re probably already thinking of the perfect playlist to put together as well.

Here are five more songs that I believe deserve an entry onto any road trip playlist!

9 to 5 – Dolly Parton


When this song starts playing, its hard to resist the urge to start a sing-a-long. A classic that everyone should know the words to, its perfect for any road trip.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar

As soon as you hear the first few chords of this song, you know you’re in for a good time.

A feel good tune that you’ll find yourself bopping along to. The girls in the car will love this one.

Africa – Toto

If you spend a lot of time listening to the radio, I can guarantee that you’ve heard this song playing on multiple occasions. When the chorus hits, it’s another guaranteed sing-a-long.

Don’t leave this one out of your playlist.

Dreams – Fleetwood Mac

Picture this – you’re driving through an insanely beautiful and scenic part of the country and this song comes on the radio. Try to stop the smile from creeping onto your face while you enjoy the moment.

A song from the late 70s, you’d be missing out if this song was left off of your playlist.

Need You Tonight – INXS

An INXS tune is a staple in every road trip playlist. Look no further than ‘Need You Tonight’.

A song that is instantly recognisable, you’ll probably be wanting to play this one on repeat. An old classic that never gets old – you won’t regret the 3 minutes you spend listening to this one.
