'Gone Ridin'' by Chris Isaak, from his debut album SILVERTONE, 1985...

I like Isaak's stuff when he really leans into the '50s-style rockabilly, which matches up perfectly with the bike riding theme. I can picture it: Being out on the road, on a Harley, middle of the night, only my headlight illuminating everything around me...

... probably somewhere in the wilderness... A desert, perhaps? In a sea of complete darkness...

Almost a lot like... This level... From CRASH BANDICOOT: WARPED:

Honestly, the Chris Isaak song I think syncs up perfectly with this level, and the other motorcycle levels really. Being a time travel game, CRASH 3 brilliantly made the biker levels these '50s Midwest highways, with diners and retro gas stations and such. All the cars are designed to look like they're from that period, too, which is neat. Both the police cars and the hot rods, the latter of which were prominent at the time. So prominent, that there was a whole subgenre of rock n' roll dedicated to these vehicles and the fellas using them to race, outrun the cops, etc.

In fact, I think of a few other songs that could match up well with one of these levels, like 'Hot Rod Lincoln' (particularly the uptempo cover by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, from 1971):

Robert Mitchum's 'The Ballad of Thunder Road', 1958:

Jimmy Dolan's 'Hot Rod Race', 1950:

And plenty more, just a few examples off the top of my head.

Logan Sargeant x So Long, London

[everysongineverykey]

good omens the book, 1990: see, queen is so ubiquitous in london these days that if you leave a tape in a car for too long, it'll inevitably morph into a best of queen tape. which is why their megahits are playing in crowley's bentley all the time! isn't that a funny and topical joke?

good omens the show, 2019-2023: yeah crowley's car has a hands-free call system and also only plays cassette tapes. yeah it's whatever don't think about it. what's an incredibly earnest and passionate queen love song we can play during this scene where crowley tries urgently to reach aziraphale

Broppy Capture AU, where Branch didn’t confess after World Tour, but a love confession when all hope seems lost is just what they need to free themselves from Velvet and Veneer.

A version without text can be found under the cut.

TRACY CHAPMAN | Fast Car (1988)

See, my old man's got a problem

He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working

His body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said, somebody's got to take care of him

So I quit school and that's what I did
