Baby You Can Drive My Car was used by one of the music radio stations (maybe CBS-FM?) to introduce their traffic reports. “Beep beep, beep beep, yeah!”

Personally I like ac/dc ‘highway to Hell’, but that won’t fly.

Tom Petty’s ‘Learning to fly’ works well. It’s a song about uncompleted journey.

“The Sidewalks of New York” – too obvious? Better than “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out”, though.

Perhaps “I Can’t Drive 55″ by Sammy Hagar ??

Funny stuff, Geoff, but I’m going to vote for the most obvious choice: “Crosstown Traffic” (Jimi’s version, of course).

It’s about time that the DOT started doing something about bike lane abuse!

It’s not about transportation per se, but Destiny’s Child has a song called “Dot.”

Too bad they didn’t have a song contest or something…my band already has a song about the MTA…

I’m sure we could have come up with something for the DOT…

Aren’t there any music studios in NYC that a city agency could use instead of going to New Jersey?

Didn't Gary Numan do their theme song already?

“Aliens Ate my Buick” by Thomas Dolby?

Seriously, this is wonderful. For a long time, a media blitz is what’s been needed to raise awareness about the respect cyclists deserve, even if I’m not totally enamored with the class II lanes that will probably be depicted in the blitz.

I would take Queen’s theme from Flash Gordon and juice it up.
