Take Me Home Tonight is no exception. Such a great song.

So many of today's hit songs are simply not car songs you can sing along with easily. I'm not a huge fan of hers but Taylor Swift seems to understand this as you can sing along to many of her songs. I truly believe that is part of the reason behind her huge success.

That they originally wanted Martha Davis of the Motels to sing Ronnie’s lines but her voice just didn’t sound right. So Eddie called Ronnie and asked if she was too busy to do it, and she told him, not too busy, just cleaning her toilet.
