Animal was seven years in the making and resulted in Kesha's accumulating over two hundred songs by the time of its release, with fourteen making the final cut.

During its second week at number one on the chart, TiK ToK set the female download record and became the second best-selling single in a week, after Right Round, for shifting over 610,000 copies. During its fifth week at the top of the chart, it broke the record for the highest weekly plays on the radio airplay chart.

Gold Trans Am
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wham bam, thank you, man
Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am
Wham bam, thank you, man
Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am
Pull over sucker, now spread 'em
Pedal to the medal, looking straight amazing
I can't help all the hell that I'm raising
Stopping traffic like an ambulance
Tryna get my hands in your worn down pants
Hey, skynyrd t-shirt tight, baby, need a ride?
I'm the captain of this ship, so shut up and get inside (get inside)
Come on, climb into my golden cockpit
Love you 'till you're seeing stars and stripes
Burning rubber on the southern highway
Gonna take you for a freedom ride
Get inside!
Wham bam, thank you, man
Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am
Wham bam, thank you, man
Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am
Your sweet ass mullet caught my eye
Now you got me jonesing for a mustache ride
Twenty bucks and a switchblade knife
American metal with a devil inside
Daisy dukes showing off my ass
And when I walk past give the boys whiplash
Hey, you, Skynyrd t-shirt tight, baby, need a ride?
I'm the captain of this ship, so shut up and get inside (get insid
Come on, climb into my golden cockpit
Love you 'till you're seeing stars and stripes
Burning rubber on the southern highway
Gonna take you for a freedom ride
Get inside!
Freedom ride
Get inside!
Come on, climb into my golden cockpit
Love you 'till you're seeing stars and stripes
Burning rubber on the southern highway
Gonna take you for a freedom ride

The song "Gold Trans Am" by Ke$ha is a clear ode to the classic American muscle car, the Pontiac Trans Am. The lyrics are full of sexual innuendos and metaphors that liken the experience of riding in a Trans Am to passionate sex. The song opens with Ke$ha expressing the desire to have sex in her car, and the chorus "Wham bam, thank you, man, get inside my fucking gold Trans Am" is a clear invitation to her sexual partner. She urges the person to pull over, spread their legs and show her what they're packing and then takes control by driving fast and raising hell. The song is about taking risks, being wild, and letting go of inhibitions.
The use of "Skynyrd t-shirt" in the lyrics is a reference to the Southern rock band Lynryd Skynryd, known for their wild and rebellious songs, further emphasizing the theme of the song. The chorus of "Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am" is repeated multiple times, further emphasizing the invitation and the raw desire. The horns in the chorus section make it a fun, upbeat jam that highlights Ke$ha's edgy party style. The song is relatable for people who love their cars and see them as an extension of their bodies.

The old Ke$ha has certain trashy quality and over the top energy.I'd say it aged pretty good. A time capsule for sure!

I was a freshman in high school when this album dropped. I remember playing this song for my friends on my iPod because it was so raunchy to my innocent brain back then. Still know every word by heart and can recite it without the music. Can't wait till I'm old playing Kesha's albums in the car with my grandkids complaining in the back seat LOL
