BR&F may not have written MTA, but I think they perfected it.

MTA, aka “Charlie on the MTA,” is, as you may know, not by Ben Rudnick & Friends, or even by the erstwhile Kingston Trio, who made it famous, but was an actual campaign song for a left-leaning mayoral candidate in Boston many years ago.

Two other essential Vroom songs:
- Woody Guthrie “Riding in the Car.”
- Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen – “Hot Rod Lincoln” (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDbON8udTPo)

And if you’re feeling adventurous, Deep Purple, “Highway Star”
