"Taxi Driver" is a song by Gym Class Heroes. The song was first released on The Papercut EP, but was also included on the full-length and much more widely released The Papercut Chronicles. In the song's lyrics, frontman Travis McCoy namechecks 26 other bands and artists that Gym Class Heroes enjoy. "Taxi Driver" was the very first video produced for Gym Class Heroes. It was produced, along with many other videos by Bill Pealer, Jason Gillotti, and Ryan Smith long before the band was attached to any record label.

The song, was named #20 of the "50 Worst Songs of the '00s" in a 2009 Village Voice article.[1]
