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!

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.
