The Skinny:
I ran into a very clever fellow who was standing watch over some of the electric cars that were going to destroyed as seen in the doc Who Killed The Electric Car. And I had seen the movie only days before. It got me to thinking about how can we get away from the combustion engine so that we don’t need to fight oil wars. Simple enough, just do what it takes to drive one myself to do my part. Even if it only goes 40 miles and is a tin can. But, my current car is working and I love it. Uh, I guess I’ll at least wait til I’d buy one anyway. Is that so bad. Is that what is commonly known as a hypocrite? Well, my next one’s going to be electric.
‘ELECTRIC CAR’I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
Into the future
Into the futureWhen my current car breaks down
And I’m looking for my next steed
I promise for sure I swear
I’ll switch to electricityWatch me drive in style
I’ll be saving the world from global warming
Mile by mile by mileI’m going to drive my electric car into the future
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
Into the future
Into the futureIt’s got a driving range of 400 miles
On a single charge
Push one little button and the top goes down
And then you’re living large
Sunshine and clear blue skies
It’s got a good sized trunk to carry my shit
Don’t want to compromise my rideI’m going to drive my electric car into the future
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
The sexy lines will let you know
That I’m a person on the go
I can hear my jams a whole lot better
Cause my engine noise is low
Music to my gears
My combustible engine is going to be dead
In about ten years
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
I’m going to drive my electric car into the future
Into the future
Into the future
Into the future
Into the future
Split tracks for producers and remixers:
- tempo=142 bpm (just by chance the same tempo as last week)
- The ride and crash are each have and extra cymbal on top of them for a more trashy sound. The drums are beat corrected using Beat Detective.
- Guitar is my Samick Royale through a TopHat tube amp. Close mic’d and far mic’d and panned a little.
- bass is the Samick Royale bass run direct with a bit of the free THC plugin blended in
- all files start a the top of the measure
- let me hear what you did wif ‘em
