The Metro Mix - A Tribute To Transit, Vol. 1
In honor of today's guest editor, here are some songs about trains. And one about a bus. And one about a bike. And one sung by Michelle Pfeiffer. Think of it as a musical love letter to all things transport.
The Bees (U.S.) - Catch Yer Own Train
Bob Dylan - It Takes a Lot to Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry
The Cure - Jumping Someone Else's Train
Sheena Easton - Morning Train (Nine to Five)
The Velvet Underground - Train Round The Bend
Oh No! Oh My! - The Bike, Sir...
Michelle Pfeiffer - Cool Rider
Weird Al Yankovic - Another One Rides The Bus

Shame on you for posting "Another One Ride's The Bus" by Weird Al Yankovich. It promotes and propagates negatives stereotypes about the bus that are completely untrue!!!
Just kidding!!!!!11 that song is the SHITZ. Weird Al is da BOMB. A++++++++++ for that selection.
