OldTrucker Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 "Shut Down" An Accurate Version of the Beach Boy's song It happened on the strip where the road is wide** Two cool shorts* standing side-by-side** Yeah, a fuel-injected Stingray and my 413, We're revvin up our engines and it sounds real mean Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down... Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down... Declining numbers at an even rate At the count of one we both accelerate The Stingray is light, his slicks are startin to spin, But my 413s really diggin in Gonna make tracks now, button-shift, here we go... My Super Stock Dodge is crankin out in low, but The fuel-injected Stingrays motors startin to blow To get the traction, hes ridin the clutch, His pressure plates burning, man that smokes too much! Pedal to the floor, hear my dual quads drink and watch my 413s taillights startin to shrink Hes got a Chebby engine so its understood Hes got a crank and rods and pistons shootin out of his hood Shove-a-lot, Shove-a-lot, Mopar muscle shut you down, Shove-a-lot, Shove-a-lot, Mopar muscle shut you down, Shove-a-lot, Shove-a-lot, Mopar muscle shut you down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I remember a neighbor back in that time with a white two door base sedan with the 413 and a Torque flight. He had to have it pointed dead straight when he dropped the hammer otherwise he was having to steer sideways to stay in a straight line even with the Casler cheater slicks of the time. The F.I. Corvette was no slouch especially on a road course, but in a straight line it was going to be the "Little old lady from Pasadena" all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1957 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I see what you did! 😄 i started going over the lyrics you have and thought " that's not right ". I know, I've had that song drilled into my head from driving to all the car shows I used to go to. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedShift Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 And that's why there's nobody meaner than the "Little Old Lady from Pasadena". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) ^^^ There were alternate lyrics to that one as well. Way back in 1984, the song's co-writer Dr. Don Altfeld came into my print shop (on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena!) to get some publicity material printed. He was trying to sell Ford on the idea of using it for commercials, and told me he'd rewritten it thusly: "But there in her garage where the kids all hang Is a brand new shiny red Ford Mustang" I recall the local paper had some mention of the idea, but that's about as far as it got.
