Recommendation

Should you sing it?

I Drove All Night rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the romantic angle. Its structure offers a clearly recurring hook, while the words have room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
