Lyrics
I'm a cool cat making waves all over town. When they see me comin', everybody's heads turn 'round. With my twin cam, dual exhaust, and my ragtop do-o-o-wn!! I'm a ladies' man, just a turbo nitrous freak. I'll blow your doors off any day of the week. With my tail-finned bumper chrome, I'm a LIGHTNING STREAK! Heaven is a '57 metallic gray! Nobody get in my way! Heaven is a '57 metallic gray!! Ye-a-ah!

Song Production Information
This is a remixed version of a number included in drummania. A guitar was in charge of playing the melody part in the original version, but a trumpet is in charge here. Furthermore, by using programmed sounds and voice sampling, this song sounds more pop and is easy to recognize. However, it retains the original song's unique qualities, such as bursting vocals and satisfying 16-beats. This number makes you particularly remember the charm of '50s swing pop songs.

This gang also appeared in KEYBOARD MANIA3. They only wore black clothing back then. The younger brother is wearing white clothing here. I can hear them saying things like "Older brother! Let's go!" "Oh! Are you ready!? Younger brother!".
I tried to have the gang brothers do a microphone kick in the style of famous rockstars. How can they sing if they don't have mouths? Please leave them alone and don't question it..
