For my money, the grooviest driving song of all time is "Portrait of the Damned" by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult.  You can here a clip here.

But if you just want a song that forces you to go faster by tempo alone, well then you should listen to the Playmates "Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)".  It's a gimmick song from the 50's, but it's hilarious.  Find a snippet, although it gives you no idea of the song, here.  By the way, for those of you into heavier stuff, this song is sampled on Marilyn Manson's "Misery Machine".

Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

I cant beleive nobody has mentioned Ministry: Jesus built my hotrod. I find its dangerous driving to that tune

Oh, I have been there!  I always turn *my* music off when my wife is in the car.

For driving excessivley fast: "OD'd On Life Itself", Blue Oyster Cult; anything by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club; "Pigs" and ""Sheep" by Pink Floyd; "Wonderful Day" and "Zooropa", U2; anything by the Chemical Brothers; "Baba O'Reilly", The Who; "Clocks", Coldplay; "Pounding", Doves.

For being a careful, considerate driver who wants to live to get home: any Bach, Beethoven or baroque music; William Orbit; John Barry themes and Jacques Loussier.
