Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon
And he's gonna be chasin'
After someone
Yeah, whoo
Feel so good
Behind this wheel
Get my stomach turning
Speed Racer
Hit The Gas
Smell the rubber Burnin
VROOOM
Gotta get with him
He's the top prize
How can I not love him
When he's better
Than the bad guys?
I got ta zoom
Lady, so gimme room
Baby you hear the boom
There's no need to wonder whom
Will it be
When I be Zippin' and Dippin'
I got you Trippin' Magnificent
If you're In a Predicament
Know that Danger is Imminent
HEY!
He's off and flyin'
As he guns
The car around the track
He's jamming down the pedal
Like he's never coming back
Adventure's waiting
Just ahead
Go Speed Racer (go)

Some Speed Racer trivia for you guys:
At the beginning in the credits version, the guy says "Mahha Go Go Go!" That's the original Japanese title of the series. In the chorus, the female voice also says "Mach 5 Go! Go!" Which is the English translation of the original Japanese title. "Mahha" is "mach" and "go" is the Japanese number 5. The title is pretty much a pun of itself. You can say it either "mahha gogogo" (Mach GoGoGo) or "mahha go, go go" (Mach 5, go go!) since the name of the car Mach 5 in Japanese is "mahha go."
Not only that, but this movie included so much stuff from the original series that it pretty much qualifies as the best live action anime film of all time.
How many people just now realized that Speed Racer was probably their first anime without even knowing it? Speed Racer is like the granddaddy of Initial D, for anyone who knows what that is lol. Speed Racer was birthed in the 60s. Initial D came in the 90s. Speed Racer was also a manga first with two volumes, if anyone is willing to look for (and spend a shit ton of money) on that kind of stuff. You can get the entire original anime series in english on amazon for about 20 bucks (or about 70 to 120 if you're into collectors stuff.)
And now you know! And if you knew all this already, you're awesome!

Even as an adult, watching this again over a decade later, this movie is still a gem.

I AGREE WHY DO PEOPLE DON'T LIKE MOVIES IF THEY DON'T WATCH IT FOR THEMSELVES

I hate everything about it. It's a textbook masterclass on how to ruin an otherwise iconic piece of music.
