AllanC:this is hardly suprising, as that is precisely the recording technique that Bob Dylan used.

Ravel's Bolero isn't really all that good a tune to screw to. "Old Mountain Dew" sets a better beat.

(but Bo Derek can set whatever she wants on the damn stereo...)

If you drive through the Hampton Roads Bridge tunnel at 70 MPH (speed limit is 55) the divisions in the road will match the beat of ZZ Top's "Sleeping Bag" causing your car to bounce down on the down beat.

If you sing "Pretty Peggy-O" while holding your nose and brushing your teeth with baking soda and vinegar, you can approximate Dylan's version.

If you drive on an American highway at exactly 55 miles per hour, the white lane-divider lines go by at exactly the rhythmn of "Duke of Earl." (Duke, duke, duke, duke of earl...etc.) Oh yes they do. And I'll bet you're going to try it first chance you get.

Got any others?
