Bay Area speed freaks, represent!
This defines crazy. I have an adrenaline rush just from watching it. If you're not feeling it when one of them screams "WHOOOOOO! DIG IT!! DIG IT!!!" at 6:59, you need a heart transplant.
Thanks to SFist. Check out the topo map of the route.
My definition of a perfect song? When I first hear it, it seizes my soul and won't let go, and I'm compelled to listen to it over and over again--maybe dozens of times before the spell breaks--and when I hear it again in the future, it's difficult, perhaps impossible not to listen to it all the way through. A few I've encountered in recent years:

Obstacle 1 - Interpol
Rainy Streets - Superchunk
Sea Anemone - Jets to Brazil
Slow Hands - Interpol

The Water - Feist
You Can Make Him Like You - The Hold Steady
