Hot rod coupe on a Friday night
At the fairground strip
One more beer will get me set
For my quarter-mile trip
Steering wheel in hand
Making my last stand
I'm the fastest in the land
That's why they call me the king
I shut em down with breakneck speed
Like no one can
Pink slips seem to disappear
With a wave of my hand
Approach that line
Checkered flag up high
Check the starting light
And it's red, yellow, green and
Go! Don't hesitate, accelerate and Go!
Tires spin as we begin to Go!
Road dust flies into their eyes
As the king blows across the finish line
Tension's high as we burn the road
Like flames from hell
Leavin' rubber smokin' hot
With a brimstone smell
When I reach that line
The cops will have to handcuff me
Cuz greasers racing on the strip
Is a felony

I Teen Idols sono stati un gruppo pop punk originario di Nashville, Tennessee. Fondati nel 1992 da Phillip Hill, il gruppo ha attraversato diverse fasi di attività e scioglimento. La formazione originale si è sciolta nel 2003, per poi riunirsi nel 2008 a Chicago, Illinois, con un repertorio rinnovato. Dopo una breve fase di reunion, la band si è nuovamente sciolta nel 2010. Il loro sound pop punk era caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili e testi energici, influenzati dal movimento punk rock degli anni '70 e '80. Tra i brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Teenage Riot", "The Kids Are Alright" e "She's Got a Gun".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
