    Do you wanna know what really grinds my gears?

    (car parking charges) - but gift shops at the end of every coaster, full of tat?!?

    Favorite Rip Ride Rockit song

    Of the 'official' list I reckon ZZ Top's Gimme All Your Lovin' would be a great choice. But the secret/hidden list songs are better.
