Here he comes
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)
Go Speed Racer (go)
Go Speed Racer, go
Mach go, go, go
Go Speed Racer (go)
Go Speed Racer (go)
Go Speed Racer, go
(Mach go, go, go)

Yeah, Yeah, whoo
Who's the quickest one around?
(BG) That's in the Mach 5?
Who's the best he-man in town?
(BG) The Fastest One Alive?
Always ends on up top
And tears it up for show
So everybody yell it out
(BG) go, Speed Racer, go

I'm the quickest one around

Luz verde
Rapido acelero
El momento
Se pone intenso
La goma como quema
Sin alas
Pero mira como vuela
Desde el principio
Lo que pienso és ganar
Nada puede pasar
riding in the Mach 5

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

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!



#nerdalert and proud of it,

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

BobbyLCollins

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