My all-time favorite driving song for the MGB would have to be "Greased
Lightning"
off the "Grease" soundtrack. I can identify with the high-school crowd that
has to
beg, borrow, and steal (I DON'T do that!) to get their car into nice shape.
Second would have to be the Elton John song "Made in England." Third, as a
"period"
song, I'd have to either go with "Hotel California" by the Eagles or
"Frakenstein" by
The Edgar Winters Band...But I digress...
