Lyrics

I can hear the engine purring
I can smell the gasoline
You can take the other gear
And leave this place behind

You ignite the fire in me
Into overdrive
I can feel the heat in you
Burning like a flame

Turning the motor over
You're burning up the air
Turning the motor over
Now you can take me there!

(Now you can take me there!)

I can feel the engine purring
I can smell the gasoline
You can take me
You can take me there!

Music Comment

It's a pleasant ska sound, and it's fun to listen to its various sounds carefully.

Song Production Information

DJ SIMON

A tropical night ska number with catchy vocals reminiscent of Ricky Martin. Dedicated to all the hot guys (and girls too).

By the way, there's car horns in the song, and an engine revving (the "VROOM" sound) as a hidden keysound (only on the ANOTHER). Careful when revving the engine.

Video Production Information

yasu

This was one of the songs that took the most time.

To convey the feeling of being chased that I visualized while listening to it, I drew a female cop exclusively for this song, tacked on a shabby-looking road, and added square tiles that cover up the black guy's face (rather plain, but the programmer and I really struggled with it).

I ask all of you, therefore, to play this song a lot.

Character Information

None.
