Come on... We all know Don Henley's original version of the Boys of Summer is the one and only! And a great driving song.
But here are a couple of my suggestions:
Golden Earring - Radar love - YouTube
U2 - Beautiful Day - YouTube

Actually, I'm willing to offer one of my special Johnny Danger Keychains to any member who can explain the origins of that song !!!!

Weirdly enough, the original song is from an Italian soft-core porno movie called "Sweden - Heaven and Hell". Here is the link explaining the origins and incorporation into the Muppet song:
“Mahna Mahna”: How a ditty from a soft-core Italian movie became the Muppets’ catchiest tune. - Slate Magazine
Either Jim Henson and his staff were in the dark as to the true origins of the song or they were perpetrating a clever inside joke for the adults "in the know" to enjoy while they were forced to listen to the Muppet songs ad nauseum.
RIP, JH!
