#103. Daytona

The Super Bowl of country music and auto racing is upon us.  Daytona!  And for that, I will celebrate accordingly and offer up a singular "boogity" to the NASCAR gods.

In Bristol, Tennessee circa 1999, Tony Stewart got spun-out on the final lap.  He yammered into the camera, "I'm so mad now I could spit nails."  I have absolutely no doubt that the "spit nails" comment was actually a suicide bomber reference. 

What the hell, we'll dedicate this one to #3 Dale Earnhardt Sr. on the 20th anniversary of his deadly crash in 2001.  At Daytona on the final lap no less.  His NASCAR nickname was not "The Intimidator."  It was "Bert and Ernie Heart."  Not a lot of people know that.

With a faltering business and economy down
Dale Earnhardt Senior’s car emits engine sounds

Exhaust fumes will fuel the acid rain
Stream online or on Fox News again

The fans will discuss all throughout the damn town
As spring breakers arrive early and prepare to throw down

Oh no, NASCAR, it sure does blow
Go go Daytona, yeah
Oh no, boogity fo sho
Go go Daytona,

Oh no, NASCAR, it sure does blow

Go go Daytona, yeah

Oh no, Daytona fo sho
Go go Daytona, yeah

Godzilla
Blue Oyster Cult

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say, he's got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, they say he's got to go

Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Only been to one NASCAR race.  It was me, Hostile Golfer, Spinach Salad, and Jay-C.  A Richmond night race on May 4, 2002.  It got rained out around the 60 lap mark.  The following day, my favorite driver Tony Stewart took the checkered flag.  We listened to it on the radio while returning from Rockville, MD.  Now that was an arduous, unusually tedious ride home.

Please do not share this information with fans of Godzilla and/or NASCAR.
