...as performed by GuilTTy & the Trunk Monkeys in the lobby of the Somerset Holiday Inn during the First Annual Audi TT Owners Gathering. Thanks again Peter for a great job!

To those of you who were there, thanks for enduring my attempt to sing and I'm sorry I didn't memorize it first.

To the rest: the lyrics are sung to "American Pie" the lines didn't format correctly in the post but if you follow along it will flow anyway. I'll try to fix that later and re-post if I can make it look better.

Thanks to Ellen & Michael for the video and eventual movie post and thanks to the Trunk Monkeys for your great backround vocals!!!



............"DRIVIN' IN MY AUDI TT".............

Music by Don McLlean
Lyrics by GuilTTy

(INTRO)

A SHORT, SHORT TIME AGO
PEOPLE STOOD IN LINE TO SEE A BRAND NEW CONCEPT CAR
JAGS, ROLLS AND HUMMERS ALL WERE THERE
BUT A GERMAN SPORTS CAR GOT THE STARES
WITH A SLEEK AND STRIKING LOOK THAT RAISED THE BAR

BUT WOULD THIS CAR SURVIVE PRODUCTION
WITH ITS QUATTRO SYSTEM FOR GREAT TRACTION
CRITICS RAVED BUT DOUBTED
THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BUILD IT

YET FROM A PLANT IN GERMANY AND ANOTHER IN GYOR, HUNGARY
EMERGED A CAR BUILT JUST FOR ME
MY NEW AUDI TT

(CHORUS)

I'M DRIVING IN MY AUDI TT
DOUBLE CLUTCHING PAST A BOXSTER NOW HE'S CURSING AT ME
TOOK A BEEMER ROUND THE CORNER DOING ONE TWENTY-THREE
WHILE I'M CRUSIN' WITH A HONKIN' D V.... CRUSIN' WITH A HONKIN' D V....

(FIRST VERSE)

TOOK OFF FROM THE AUDI PLACE WITH A STUPID GRIN ACROSS MY FACE
WHEN I PICKED UP MY TT AND DROVE AWAY
NINE WHOLE MONTHS I HAD TO WAIT INSTEAD OF BUYING OUT OF STATE
OVER M - S - R - P I AGREED TO PAY

WITH THE BOSE TURNED UP AND THE WINDOWS DOWN
I DROVE GIDDILY ALL AROUND THE TOWN
THOUGH SOME TURBO LAG WAS THERE...I REALLY DIDN'T CARE

I WAS A PROUD NEW OWNER WITH THE BASEBALL SEATS
AND POTENZA TIRES FOR THE SUMMER STREETS
I JUST COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE
ANOTHER NEW TT....

CHORUS

(SECOND VERSE)

TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB I BEGAN TO GO TO FIND OTHER OWNERS WHO JUST MIGHT KNOW
ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF OWNING MY NEW CAR
SOON AUDIWORLD I WAS POINTED TO AND THE TT FORUM I CLICKED IN TO VIEW
TO FIND OTHERS WHO WERE CRAZIER BY FAR

WITH MY NEW ACCOUNT I BEGAN TO POST
FOR ALL TO READ FROM COAST TO COAST
SOON ENOUGH I GOT REPLIES.......COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES

THEY SAID MY D V'S GOING AND MY SHOCKS ARE POOR
I GRABBED MY CREDIT CARD AND HEADED TO THE STORE
BEFORE TOO LONG I WILL BE POOR
BECAUSE OF MY TT

CHORUS

(THIRD VERSE)

ONE EIGHTY OR TWO TWENTY-FIVE BOTH TURBO ENGINES ARE A BLAST TO DRIVE
WITH A SIX SPEED TRANNY AND THAT KRESKIN E S P
WHETHER COUPE OR ROADSTER YOU CANNOT GO WRONG
CODE FOR MEGA BASS TO CRANK YOUR FAVORITE SONG
EURO SPLIT VIEW MIRRORS MAKE IT EASIER TO SEE

TURN ON THE XENON LIGHTS AND YOU'LL ATTRACT A CROWD
USING AN AUTO WASH IS NOT ALLOWED
ITS ZAINO ALL THE WAY...... I PUT FOUR COATS ON TODAY

AND WITH THE MORSE CODE CHIRPING I BEGAN TO SPEED
UNTIL I GOT PULLED PULLED OVER THEN I HAD TO PLEAD
TRAFFIC SIGNS I CANNOT READ
WHEN DRIVING MY TT

CHORUS

(FOURTH VERSE)

THE FORUM WAS DEAD ONE NIGHT SO I SCROLLED THE PAGE AND THOUGHT I MIGHT
FIND MY CYBER FRIENDS HAD SOMETHING ELSE TO DO
JUST PLAIN CLIFF SPOKE OF A WEDNESDAY CHAT I READ HIS POST TO SEE WHERE IT WAS AT
AND I CLICKED IN TO THE CHATROOM ON YAHOOOOO

ViaTT WAS THERE AND BAHOOKIE TOO
MY PC MONITOR LOOKED LIKE A CYBER ZOO
SOON DENNY JOINED TO SAY....KEROPPI WOULDN'T PLAY

IT WAS GETTING' LATE AND IT WAS TIME TO GO
I SAID GOOD NIGHT BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT BASTARD CALLS WOULD SOON FOLLOW
ME TO MY NEW TT

CHORUS

(FIFTH VERSE)

OcTTober's GOT LOTS OF THINGS IF CLAIRPARTS SOLD THEM HE WOULD BUY WINGS
TTop Gun ALWAYS KEEPS HIS RACING GEAR AT HAND
RobbyTT's A YOUNGSTER WHO DRINKS BELVEDERE
JENNER'S CAR'S BEEN MODIFIED TO SEVEN GEARS
SuiTTman's LUNCHING WITH THE WILD LONG ISLAND CLAN

AND WHILE MARCUS SEARCHES FOR ANOTHER ROCK
PETE FROM STRATMOSPHERE'S GOT NEW FORGE VALVES IN STOCK
AUTO UNION JACK'S ..... BUYING RIMS FROM TIRERACK

BRACKETRACER'S LIVING IN A MORMON TOWN
DRIVING LAMBORGHINIS WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN
BEFORE TOO LONG WE THINK HE'S BOUND
TO BUY HIS OWN TT

CHORUS

(SIXTH VERSE)

NIMBUS GRAY OR BRILLIANT BLACK ONLY THE FASTEST COLOR CAN LEAD THE PACK
ALTHOUGH THE DENIM BLUE AND DESERT GREEN ARE QUICK
AND WHILE THE AMULETS ARE LOOKIN' GOOD THE FASTEST COLOR'S STILL UNDERSTOOD
IT'S NOT THE AVIATOR GRAY THAT GETS THE PICK

THE FASTEST COLOR IS THE PUREST TOO
WITH A SMOOTH DOWNSHIFT THEY'LL PASS RIGHT OUT OF VIEW
ALL TT COLORS HAVE THEIR PLACE .... BUT LAKE SILVER WINS THE RACE

AND WITH A NEW CHIPPED ENGINE AND SOME BILSTEINS IN
I'M GONNA' FIND THAT PORSCHE AND KICK IT'S *** AGAIN
I CAN HEAR HIM SQEALING ROUND THE BEND
BEHIND MY NEW TT

CHORUS

(FINAL VERSE - SLOWER)

PETER SAID THAT HE JUST MIGHT PLAN A TOUR OF HOMES BY FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
SO HE ORGANIZED A TRIP TO SOMERSET
FALLINGWATER AND KENTUCK **** WOULD HOST A GROWING TT MOB
FOR SOME AUDI OWNERS WHO HADN'T EVEN MET

IN KEROPPI LOUNGE THE DRINKS WERE FLOWING
IN THE PARKING LOT THE CARS WERE GLOWING
SELF WASH ROUND THE CORNER ... ATE UP THE OWNERS QUARTERS

BUT THE MEMBER WE ADMIRE MOST
HAILS FROM HACKETSTOWN AND DESERVES A TOAST
FOR BEING SUCH A FRIENDLY HOST
OUR OWN P G T T

(SLOW CHORUS TO END)

(SLOW CHORUS TO END)

 

you guys are dorks!

 

Your singing was perfect for this crowd and if you had memorized the song you never would have gotten "lost" at one point! That made it even more special.

I also can't wait for the movie.

 

Ebb, sorry I didn't include you in the lyrics but I prefer dorks.

 

Yeah, my getting lost during the song was a tribute to getting lost on the way back from FW!

 

You can always put in Bob's Big Boy! He is the ultimate Dork! lol
