Songs I'm listening to on iTunes that had "drive" in the titles that don’t' suck.
Driven to Tears: The Police
I'm on a The Police kick right now, but I have to say this song is a little heavy handed. I still like Andy Summers guitar in there during the solo, he should have played that tone for the whole song, but Stings ego took up 12 tracks.
Be Quiet and Drive: Deftones
Heavy but upsetting, I don't think Counselor Deanna Troi should listen to this song, otherwise she might turn into one of those boxes of salt than the guy mashed up.
Drive my Car: The Beatles
Cool use of the fuzz tone, it was invented by Fonzie.
Drivers Seat: Sniff and the Bears
"oooh, drivers seat!" I have no idea what's going on with this song. "Pick up your feet, drivers seat." (?) and there's a moog in there too, man that guy is noodling.
Overdrive: Foo Fighters
First time I've ever heard this song, it's actually pretty cool and poppy. Grohl always has great melodies, and his lyrics work The only issue I have with the Foo is the songs are screaming for bitchin' guitar solos and I can understand the minimalist approach on the guitars but dude, that’s what the "whang" bar is for, for bitchin'
Drive: The Cars
What's not depressing about this song. It's more miserable than the Deftones song up there, "who's gonna' hold your ears when you scream." I want to say something to break up the monotony but I know how it ends up for Ben Orr and it was pretty fucked up.
Moonlight Drive (Demo Version): The Doors
Sounds like the vocals belong on an Episode of Scooby Doo, in between Shaggy and Scoob running from ghosts and go-go dancing, and I think that's Mr. Mojo Morrison playin' de mouf harp.

I can continue the theme, for I have an "eyePod Gigante" as well. However, I have also replicated my music heap onto a laptop-sized eyePod. When I query it, I get:
117 Valley Drive: Adrian Belew
No, not 107 Valley Ave. I believe this song is on the new Bears album. Adrian singing about playing Beatles tunes with his buds in his backyard. Adrian inspired by the Beatles? No way!
Drive You Home Again: Chris Smither
Chris's material often is categorized as 'blues', but he's the only 'blues' musician I know of who writes songs about buddhist philosophy. Listen close to that fingerpicking style and scratch yer head. A quote from Stereo Review mag about Chris: "Playing a blue Alvarez-Yairi guitar, miking his foot for percussion, and singing way down in his chest like a man who has lived too long under a dark bridge".
Drive On, and Drive On (Alternate Lyrics): John R. Cash
Recorded during the sessions of the first release of the American Recordings series, and in my opinion, Johnny captured at his best: Just a man, his guitar, voice still powerful strong.
Alone at the Drive-In Movie: Grease
Yo, who put that in my eyePod!... er, must have been a virus, or like spyware or a trojan or something, yeah that's it.

Last year, I saw the play version of Grease here in Detroit. It starred none other than Frankie himself playing the same part he did in the movie. When the play ended the show wasn't over - Frankie came out and sang for about 15 minutes. Mostly medlies of material he sang 50 years ago. It felt kinda weird, like you felt bad for the guy. I wanted to tell him to let go and move on. Nostalgia is often a weird-but-positive experience for me... this time it was just weird.
