    Jeff is right, that's not jazz. And if that's just his rendition of Average White Band's Pick Up the Pieces, you might as well go for the original.

    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2cdgTWitj_o"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2cdgTWitj_o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

    Another car related song? Gary Numan - Cars. End of story. And I just saw the Family Guy episode where Stewie sings along to it but makes up his own lyrics.

    And listening to any drum & bass (avg 175 bpm) will make you automatically drive faster...for the uninitiated, anything by Roni Size or LTJ Bukem.

    Sure it is, just like Scott Gertner plays jazz.

    You know...jazz for suburban white people with no sense of rhythm.

    :D
