Whether you’re giving a ride to someone you don’t know that well, driving wordlessly with your parents, or just hitting an uncomfortable lull in conversation with a friend, nothing makes for a more cringe-worthy experience than the reticence of being trapped in a car with someone you don’t feel entirely comfortable with. Fear not, however, for below is an undefeatable list of upbeat songs perfect for the car. Whether you’re just trying to break the silence or attempting to recreate a cliched movie scene with your friends, these high-energy songs will make you want to roll the windows down and turn the volume up.
