Are you ready? Ready for the race? Are you ready? OH OH OH EJO, Are you ready? OH OH OH EJO, Are you ready?

Ready for the race? Are you ready? Are you ready? Ready for the race? Are you ready? OH OH OH EJO, Are you ready? OH OH OH EJO, Are you ready? Are you ready? Ready for the race? Are you ready? Are you ready? Ready for the race? Are you ready?

Song Production Information
CAPTAIN JACK, who debuted in 1995 with their eponymous single Captain Jack, is a duo consisting of military-clad rapper Franky Gee and vocalist Liza da Costa. It charted number one in the Netherlands and Hungary, with their debut album recording 4 million sales in Europe. Their second album, Operation Dance, released in 1997, had consecutive hits with Together and Forever and a cover of Madonna's Holiday. This song, The Race, is a roaring guitar track.
Video Production Information
It's a race, just like it says. I didn't have to think too hard about ideas, but it was a little tough since I'm no expert on cars. The race queen's outfit is kind of questionable and she seems a little bashful. I wonder why she's wearing that getup?
