And BTW to balance out the hilariously bad "Let the Engines Roar" track, there is actually a far superior song about vehicular speeding by The Go Go's and for years I have wondered what the lyrics are in one part of the song. Maybe someone can help?
The great song in question is "
Speeding".
The lyrics are online but, as the nature of the beast is, these available lyrics are NOT what is actually being sung at that one part.
All the words to all the online lyrics are correct except for the last part of this one little sentence.
Driving faster
Driving past the scenery
On pretty view...
It doesn't make sense and it's also not the words coming out. It really sounds more like;
Driving faster
Driving past the scenery
And rip to freedom/meaning...
Neither one of those sentences make much sense, but phonically, it sounds more like the second example than the first.
Had the Go Go's recorded the Engines Roar song, they'd have drums in it beating the hell out of that static drum track by putting it to shame, the rhythm would have been given a much better bass line and the horns would have been replaced with an electric guitar. But would they have sung the words in the same way to make way for Joel to still come up with "ninny on the road now"?
