Professor Of Rock has shared the video below, along with the following introduction:
“OK, everybody! It’s time to shift into high gear with the ultimate soundtrack to power your next road trip. On this episode, we’re cranking up the volume and celebrating the Top 5 Driving Songs that turn every journey into an epic adventure. Along the way, we have ‘Radar Love’, a song that caused the most speeding tickets in history. Another song called ‘Driver’s Seat’ that was held out of #1 because a factory went on strike and couldn’t make enough copies. Plus, GNR’s ‘Welcome To The Jungle’, one of the most iconic hard rock songs ever. But at the time, nobody would play it because the band was too controversial. MTV made them a deal that they’d play the song one time at 4 AM… So many fans called in after to request it be played again it tied up the switchboard for days… It made Appetite For Destruction a hit, selling 30 million copies. And finally, ‘Born To Be Wild’, a song that was written as a slow ballad until Steppenwolf sped it up and made it the greatest driving song ever. The stories are next on Professor Of Rock.”
