Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55


@Breakbeats92.5 
Fun fact: this song was inspired by true life event's. After getting pulled over for speeding, the highway patrolman told Sammy that the speed limit was 55 miles an hour. As the officer wen't to his vehicle to retrieve something Sammy thought to himself, "I can't drive 55." He knew in an instant that he had the germ of a new song. The cop came back to Hagar's vehicle and gave him the speeding ticket. Sammy thanked the officer as the whole thing had inspired one of his biggest hits.
