The Cars - Drive

Drive.mp3

Making a parody/cover of the song, where the guy is singing to his C64 instead of a person.

Currently trying to produce some lyrics for this, but I don't have the imagination to do so.

Some lyrical ideas have been brought up here. Maybe someone here have any ideas for it?

Original tune can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbTjzZzfR7w

Quote: Original lyrics
Who's gonna tell you when,

It's too late,

Who's gonna tell you things,

Aren't so great.

You cant go on, thinkin',

Nothings' wrong, whoa ho…,

Who's gonna drive you home,

tonight.?

Who's gonna pick you up,

When You fall?

Who's gonna hang it up,

When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention,

To your dreams?

And who's gonna plug their ears,

When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'

Nothings wrong, whoa ho…,

(who's gonna drive you)

(who's gonna drive you)

Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

(who's gonna drive you home)

(bye baby)

(bye baby)

(bye baby)

(bye baby)

Who's gonna hold you down,

When you shake?

Who's gonna come around,

When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin',

Nothin's wrong, whoa ho…,

(Who's gonna drive you)

(who's gonna drive you)

Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

(who's gonna drive you home)

Ho…, you know you can't go on, thinkin',

Nothin's wrong,

(Who's gonna drive you)

(Who's gonna drive you home)

Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

(bye baby)

(bye baby)

(bye baby)

[quote=Juju's lyrics of victory]Who's gonna play even though

It's too late.

Who's gonna stay 'cos you

Are so great.

We can't go on, thinking

Nostalgia's gone.

Who made us think that 8 bit's wrong?

Who's gonna fix you up

When you stall?

Who's gonna spend their time

On Wizball?

Who's gonna pay attention,

To your screen?

And who's gonna play you more

In their dreams?

We can't go on, thinking

Nostalgia's gone.

Who made us think that 8 bit's wrong?

Who's gonna turn ghost white

When you shake?

Who's gonna feel at sea

When you break?

We can't go on, thinking

Nostalgia's gone.

Who made us think that 8 bit's wrong?

We can't go on, thinking

Nostalgia's gone

Who made us think that 8 bit's wrong?

"Who's gonna play even though"

The… uh what's the word? Cyllables! They don't match the song here.

Not too hard to just change it to 'Who's gonna play you when", though I guess. :P

Edit: After actually reading it, this is just pure genius. Thanks juju! The only useful member 64D strikes again.

Edit2: I posted it in the topic: http://www.remix64.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=7238&p=82226#p82226

Drat, "even" has two syllables. "When" would work ;)

The lines that need rewriting are bolded.

Who's gonna play you when

It's too late.

Who's gonna stay 'cos you

Are so great.

We can't go on, thinkin'

8-bit's wrong.

Oh

Who's gonna play with you, tonight?

Who's gonna fix you up

When you stall?

Who's gonna spend their time

On Wizball?

Who's gonna pay attention,

To your screen?

And who's gonna play you more

In their dreams?

You can't go on, thinkin'

8-bit's wrong.

Oh

Who's gonna play with you, tonight?

Oh
