AKA “Top nine songs that I want to hear while in the vortex of a tornado from the window of a Nissan Altima” | Written by Evan Lugo

A scary time is falling upon the Midwest plains, not for most but just for my scared little southern self! We have many different films to watch during stormy days like this but what about music? I can imagine myself sitting in my apartment and watching hit 2024 film Twisters staring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones when I suddenly am sucked out my basement window because of a tornado!

Ok so now, you are in that tornado! Being in a tornado is lowkey boring though. Your phone was probably taken away from you by the tornado as well so what can you do other than listen to some music! Spinning through the storm, you hear some music in the distance and it’s a Nissan Altima! Here’s the top nine songs playing from that car and WHY.

  1. Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma by Luke Combs

This is like the standard tornado song. It’s what I want to hear while in the vortex of a tornado to try and summon Glen Powell to come and save me. I DMed him on Instagram to come to Kansas for the first rainstorm of the season but he has not yet responded.

  1. Catch Me In The Air by Rina Sawayama

This song during a tornado is just me asking for Glen Powell to catch me while I’m in the air. These types of storms are unpredictable, so I don’t want to be thrown in the air and IF I am, please catch me Glen Powell.

  1. LOOP by Yves ft. Lil Cherry

So during a tornado, you are going in a loop with the direction of the wind. That’s why I’m gonna be hearing this song from the window of a Nissan Altima. Or, I might just be singing it instead.

  1. Ring The Alarm by Beyoncé

Ring the tornado alarm! See, I can be funny.

  1. Round and Around by JO YURI

This song is about as long as a tornado so if you just want to hear one song and be done going round and around, this is the song for you! JO YURI, make this song longer.

  1. Satanist by boygenius

You’re seriously telling me I can’t just pick a song, JUST BECAUSE? I want to hear one non-tornado related song, okay?

  1. Distress by ARTMS

Tornadoes might not be distressing for some who know when one is coming by the color of the sky and the smell of the air, but a southerner like me can’t detect these storms. I’m in distress!

  1. Tornado Warnings by Sabrina Carpenter

This song is to just help let you know when the tornado is there. Some might say to listen for the tornado siren as the warning, but I’m listening for Tornado Warnings by Sabrina Carpenter, even if I’m already in the vortex!

  1. NISSAN ALTIMA by Doechii

How can you find the Nissan Altima that’s going to be playing the songs out the car window when you are in the vortex of the tornado, if you can’t hear this song? It’s the directions to find the Nissan Altima!
