Me and Bobby McGee - Driving down that road to New Orleans, we plumbed the depths of the driver's knowledge of something. What was it?

It should take about an hour and a half to get from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. If we estimate that the average song length was three minutes, and then build in about 10 percent leeway for arguing about the lyrics and choosing the next song, it appears that the driver knew 27 songs.
